Claims24
A mixture of colored resin particles useful for making a marbleized resin composite, comprising an admixture of either:
- (1) at least two types of colored accent resin particles wherein each type of particle is of a different color and is irradiated;
- or
- (2) at least one type of colored accent resin particles mixed with at least one type of background resin particles, wherein each colored accent resin particle type is irradiated and each background resin particle type is not irradiated, and wherein each colored accent resin particle type is a different color from the other colored accent particle types and the background particle types.
A method of making a marbleized resin composite, comprising:
- compounding together an admixture of either
- (1) at least two types of colored accent resin particles wherein each type of particles is of a different color and is irradiated;
- or
- (2) at least one type of colored accent resin particles mixed with at least one type of background resin particles, wherein each colored accent resin particle type is irradiated and each background resin particle type is not irradiated, and wherein each type of colored accent resin particles is a different color from the other colored accent resin particles and from the color of the background resin particles.
