  • Patent number: 3988291
    Abstract: Mineral-filled thermosetting molding compositions having both precision-molding or low-shrink characteristics and also high abrasion resistance, plus other desirable properties. "Low profile" molding compositions, known to give smooth surface configurations, have low-shrink properties which also give precision molding characteristics of value in mechanically interfitting molded parts, but have such poor abrasion resistance as to be unusable for desirable applications. Both low-shrink and high abrasion resistance are obtained, with other desired properties, by including a known abrasion-improving polyolefin and by using a long-fiber asbestos as the reinforcing fiber, particularly either chrysotile asbestos or that known as blue asbestos or crocidolite.
