Abstract: To improve the resistance to scratching of plastic molded articles comprising a polymer matrix filled with inorganic fillers, the filler content being 50 to 90% by weight in relation to the filled matrix, it is suggested that the filler comprise two filler fractions (a) and (b), wherein the filler fraction (a) has a particle size distribution with 98% by weight of the particles having a particle size .ltoreq.150 .mu.m and is distributed essentially uniformly in the polymer matrix, and wherein the filler fraction (b) comprises particles having a particle size of approximately 300 .mu.m to approximately 3000 .mu.m, wherein the proportion of the filler fraction (b) is approximately 1 to 35% by weight of the total filler content, and wherein the proportion of the filler fraction (b) in an outer surface layer of the molded article is enriched to at least 30% by weight in relation to the total mass of the filled matrix.

Abstract: In a castable, curable composition for producing plastic molded articles, comprising a sirup containing a proportion of acrylic acid monomer and/or derivatives thereof, in order to achieve an improved boiling resistance of the plastic molded articles produced from the composition, it is proposed that a proportion of a further component of the formula (I) ##STR1## which contains an ethylenically unsaturated group of the formula (II)--R.sub.5 --R.sub.6 (II)and/or contains a group of the formula (III) ##STR2## be added. The sirup may also optionally contain a proportion of a prepolymer, in particular PMMA, and, in addition, a particulate, inorganic filler in a proportion of 50 to 90% by weight in relation to the total composition, pigments and a radical initiator system are contained in the sirup. The viscosity of the total composition is .ltoreq.100 Pa.multidot.
