Abstract: The invention relates to a filled, resin composition and a method for the manufacture therefor. The composition is a matrix of an epoxy resin, a carbonate-containing filler, particularly calcium-magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate, an anhydride hardener and an adhesive at 0.1 to 3.0 percent by weight, relative to the weight of the filler. The adhesive is a multibasic organic acid, an organic hydroxy acid such as malic acid or an amino acid. In the process, the adhesive can first be added to the hardener or to the filler containing resin before hardener is added.
