Abstract
Abstract In the production of a body of filled plastics material, it is started from a self-supported article with open pores which can be obtained in the conventional manner. A reaction material is placed in the pores of the molded article. The pores of the molded article are sealed prior to final hardening. This can be done by means of an ultraviolet radiation source. Prior to sealing, the molded articles, without the danger of leakage of the reaction material, can be temporarily placed in a glycol/glycerol bath. The polyester resin of the coating is irradiated with UV through the glycol or glycerol bath.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
In a method for making molded plastic articles, wherein a particulate filler is mixed with a hardenable resin to form a mixture and the mixture is deposited in a mold and the resin of said mixture is hardened to form a self-supporting molded article with open pores, the molded article is placed under vacuum, the pores are filled with a hardenable material, and the hardenable material is hardened in a final curing step to form a molded article; the improvement comprising: (a) coating the molded article with a liquid, ulta-violet light curable, unsaturated polyester resin composition, (b) immersing the polyester coated article in a bath of glycol or glycerol, and (c) curing said polyester resin with ultra-violet light by irradiating said polyester resin coating on said article while said article is in said bath.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
