A molded article, such as, a kitchen sink, a wash basin, a work surface, or the like, is produced from a composite material comprising a cured polymer binder and filler particles by molding. The surface of a visible face of the molded article, that is substantially horizontal when the molded article is in use, exhibits irregularities formed by pores. More than 30% and less than 90%, in particular more than 40% and less than 80%, and preferably more than 50% and less than 65% of the surface of the visible face is formed by pores with an average width of more than 0.1 mm and less than 1 mm, an average depth of more than 10 &#x3bc;m and less than 50 &#x3bc;m, and the average ratio of depth to width of the pores of more than 1:4 and less than 1:30.

Molded article and method for producing a molded article

In order to obtain curable molding compositions and shaped plastics articles produced therefrom which have an improved hot-pot resistance, it is proposed that a curable molding composition for the production of shaped plastics articles contains, in addition to a liquid monomeric acrylate component and a particulate inorganic material, the latter in a concentration ranging from 45 to 85 wt % and preferably from 55 to 75 wt %, based on the molding composition, an additional portion comprising a particulate hydrophobic and/or oleophobic plastics material in a concentration of 0.5 wt % or more.

Curable molding composition and shaped plastics articles produced from said molding composition

With an integral, board-like component, in particular for use as a kitchen working surface, comprising a visible side and a rear side, wherein the visible side comprises a layer consisting of a polymer matrix filled with a first, inorganic filler, its specific density being greater than the specific density of the polymer matrix, it is suggested for the production of the boards in a simple manner and with a good planarity that the filler content of the first filler in the visible side layer be 50 to 90% by volume, that the rear side comprise a layer which is formed from a polymer matrix filled with a second inorganic filler, wherein the proportion of the polymer matrix in this layer in % by volume differs quantitatively by 20% at the most from the volume content of the polymer matrix in the visible side layer and wherein the specific density of the second filler is &lE;0.6 g/cm,.
