1. A suspension comprising:
(1) from about 15 to about 25 weight percent based on the total weight of the suspension of a first component selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, talc, silica, and mixtures thereof wherein the first component has an average particle size distribution of from about 0.5 microns to about 100 microns based on laser scattering; (2) from about 30 to about 70 weight percent based on the total weight of the suspension of a second component selected from the group consisting of crushed rock, gravel, sand and mixtures thereof wherein the second component has an average particle size distribution of from about 50 microns to about 600 microns based on laser scattering; (3) from about 25 to about 45 weight percent based on the total weight of the suspension of a thermosetting resin selected from a polyester resin, a vinyl ester resin, and mixtures thereof; and (4) a catalyst capable of causing the suspension to gel and cure and wherein said gel time is from about 2 to about 10 hours; wherein the uncured suspension has a pumpability of from about 10 to about 120 Bearden units and wherein the cured composition is characterized by a ratio of tensile strength to compressive strength of at least about 10% wherein the tensile strength is measured according to ASTM C1273 with a 0.01 inch/min of cross-head speed at ambient 25 C at 50% humidity and the compression strength is measured according to ASTM 873 with a 0.01 inch/min of cross-head speed at ambient 25 C at 50% humidity. |
