Abstract

Artificial stone is composite of unsaturated polyester and calcium carbonate that is mostly synthesized. This study aimed to investigate the effect of additives on shrinkage property of Unsaturated Polyester (UP) and mechanical properties of artificial stone such as flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness. In this paper, we tested effect of additives such as anhydride maleic (AM), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) with varying concentrations from 1 – 10 phr under condition process includes 2 phr BPO, 1100C cured temperature and 20 mins cured time
