摘要 |
The present invention relates to hydrothermally cured articles of manufacture and the processes for making the same. In the past, calcium carbonate has been included in such articles and processes a number inert filler materials to alter physical characteristics, appearance, etc. The present invention comprises incorporating crystalline calcium carbonate, preferably in the form of powdered marble, with the normal constituents to dilute the relative amounts of these constituents and thus make a more economic blend without substantial degradation to the physical characteristics of the article of manufacture incorporating such crystalline calcium carbonate.
