Abstract
Abstract An unsaturated polyester resin composition suitable for an onyx-like artificial marble is obtained by using aluminum hydroxide having an average primary particle size of at least 20 μm or a mixture thereof with aluminum hydroxide pulverized from the above aluminum hydroxide and having an average particle size of at least 15 μm. This composition has an improved transparency, a reduced coloration, and a good productivity.
