A solid surface comprises (i) a crosslinked acrylic or unsaturated polyester resin present in an amount no greater than 52 volume fraction percent, and (ii) no greater than 48 volume fraction percent of inorganic filler particles distributed evenly throughout the solid surface wherein (a) 95-99 volume fraction percent of the filler particles has a major dimension in the range of from 0.5 to no greater than 10 microns, (b) the D50 of the filler particles is from 0.5-2.5 microns, and (c) the D90 of the filler particles is equal to or less than 10 microns.

Solid polymeric highly durable surfacing

A solid surface comprises (i) from 45 to 80 volume fraction percent of polymethylmethacrylate or unsaturated polyester or a combination of both, (ii) from 25 to 55 volume fraction percent of inorganic filler particles distributed evenly throughout the solid surface, and (iii) from 0.75 to 8 volume fraction percent of a siloxane fluid, wherein, when the filler has a major dimension of from 30-50 micrometers, the siloxane has a molecular weight of from 40,000 to 150,000 or when the filler has a major dimension of from 10-15 micrometers, the siloxane has a molecular weight of from 25,000 to 100,000 or when or when the filler has a major dimension of from 1-10 micrometers, the siloxane has a molecular weight of from 5,000 to 100,000.

Sound hydrophobic polymeric surfacing

A solid surface comprises (i) a crosslinked acrylic or unsaturated polyester resin present in an amount no greater than 51 or 52 volume fraction percent, and (ii) no greater than 48 or 49 volume fraction percent of inorganic filler particles that are modified with discrete functional particles that are bound, or adhered to the filler particles, the filler particles being distributed evenly throughout the solid surface wherein (a) 95-99 volume fraction percent of the filler particles has a major dimension in the range of from 0.5 to no greater than 10 microns, (b) the D50 of the filler particles is from 0.5-2.5 microns, (c) the D90 of the filler particles is equal to or less than 10 microns and (d) the filler particles are modified with discrete functional particles that are bound, or adhered to the filler particles.

A highly filled, extruded solid surface sheet composite which has improved heat resistance, solvent resistance, and mar resistance by combination of glassy polymer and semi-crystalline polymer.
