ABSTRACT:
An improved dry ground calcium carbonate filler is provided which is less sensitive to variations in relative humidity and does not promote premature viscosity increase in polyester molding compound. This filler is dry ground from a Caribbean micritic limestone to produce Class I and Class II fillers which are acceptable for use in polyester molding compound applications. A polyester molding compound containing this dry ground filler produces a composite having superior izod impact resistance and surface quality. In some situations filler loading levels may be increased 10-15% in the SMC/BMC without detrimental effects on the final composite.
