[0070]Example A consisted of 10 subsamples of varying composition using tabular alumina (TA) as the base aggregate and fine alumina as the fillers. Both a liquid and solid resin were used. These samples proved the ranges of aggregate (specific for tabular alumina but used as a guideline for other aggregates (surface texture, porosity and wettability with the resins, viscosity of the resins used dictate actual ranges for specific aggregate / fines and resin systems. Example A and subsets provide an approxi...
