2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a matrix resin such as unsaturated polyester resin or methyl methacrylate is mixed with inorganic fine powder filler such as glass frit or aluminum hydroxide, crushed natural stone, colored resin particles, colored mica. Artificial stones such as artificial marble are manufactured by mixing, pouring into a mold and hardening. However, even if the matrix resin, inorganic fine powder filler, crushed natural stone, colored resin particles, colored mica, etc. are uniformly mixed in advance, due to the difference in their specific gravities, the one with a large specific gravity during the time until hardening is caused However, separation of the material occurs, resulting in an uneven distribution,
There is a problem that the appearance of the stone pattern is deteriorated and the appearance is significantly impaired. For this reason, methods have been proposed to increase the viscosity of the matrix resin or reduce the specific gravity of crushed stone with a large specific gravity, but the materials for the matrix resin and crushed stone are extremely limited, and the stone pattern of your choice Was difficult to express.

A gel coat layer containing crushed stones is applied to a molding die and hardened, and then a molding back mold is set, and a transparent resin layer is cast and solidified in the mold, and then an impervious layer is formed thereon. A stone-grained artificial marble having a three-layer structure produced by casting and solidifying a light-sensitive resin layer has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-160044), but the problem of gravity settlement is improved although the specific gravity is large. However, there are drawbacks that it requires a large number of steps, is complicated, and increases the cost.

When a resin composition containing no thixotropic agent is poured into a mold or a transparent resin layer is preliminarily applied to a mold, the flow resistance between the inorganic filler and the matrix resin is reduced. Due to the difference, there is a problem that the concentration of the inorganic filler is small near the injection port of the mold, and the concentration of these becomes large near the hole of the mold, which may cause color unevenness in the product, but by mixing the thixotropic agent An artificial stone in which an inorganic filler or the like is uniformly dispersed in a matrix resin can be easily obtained.

Conventionally, as a compounding recipe for artificial stones, in order to reduce the apparent shrinkage ratio and avoid molding cracks, inorganic fillers and the like are compounded as much as possible. No thixotropic agent was added. On the other hand, in the field of the gel coat coating method, it is a general technique to mix a thixotropic agent such as ultrafine silica for the purpose of preventing sagging of the paint, but in the gel coat coating method, the film thickness itself is thin, There was no problem that the compound having a large specific gravity was settled (precipitated) in the film.

The thixotropic agent used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and specifically, ultrafine silica powder, aluminum oxide,
Ultrafine powder such as titanium oxide can be used.
For example, it is desirable to use ultrafine silica particles having a refractive index of 1.4 to 1.6 and a size of 2 mm to 100 mm, especially about 10 mm. The blending amount of the thixotropic agent varies depending on the type of the thixotropic agent and is not particularly limited. However, usually, the thixotropic agent is added to 0.1 to 5.0 parts by weight, preferably 0.6 to 100 parts by weight of the matrix resin.
Add 2.0 parts by weight. The amount of thixotropic agent added is 0.1
If the amount is less than the weight part, the effect does not appear even if added to the matrix resin. On the other hand, if it is more than 5.0 parts by weight, it will be in an extremely high viscosity state and the material will not flow during the casting operation.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION A resin composition in which a matrix resin such as unsaturated polyester resin or methyl methacrylate is mixed with inorganic fine powder filler such as glass frit or aluminum hydroxide, natural stone crushed stone, colored resin particles, colored mica, etc. By mixing a certain amount of thixotropic agent such as ultrafine silica and controlling the thixotropy within a predetermined range, molding will prevent gravity sinking even though the specific gravity is high during the time until the resin composition cures. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain an artificial stone in which these are uniformly dispersed in the matrix resin. When injecting a resin composition containing no thixotropic agent into the mold, the concentration of the inorganic filler or the like is small near the injection port due to the difference in the flow resistance between the inorganic filler and the matrix resin. Although there is a problem that the concentration of these becomes large and the product becomes uneven in color, by mixing a thixotropic agent, an artificial stone in which these are uniformly dispersed in a matrix resin can be easily obtained.
