Zusammenfassung:A solid surface product having a thickness of 3 cm or greater is provided which is substantially free from warping, has a homogeneous surface appearance, and is substantially free from entrapped air bubbles or voids. The solid surface material includes from about 25 to about 95 wt%, i.e. weight percent, of a polymer resin and from about 0 to about 70 wt% of a filler. A method for producing the solid surface material is also provided and includes forming a mixture of from about 25 to about 95 wt% of a polymer resin and from about 0 to about 70 wt% of a filler; casting the mixture into an open mold to a thickness of 3 cm or greater; applying a vacuum to the molded mixture to release entrapped gases therein; and curing the molded mixture to produce a thick solid surface material.
