FIELD: polymers.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a group of inventions: curable filling mass, moulded article, and method for manufacturing the moulded article. Said curable filling mass contains a polymer binder and at least one filler in the form of particles added to the mass. The filler constitutes crushed fruit seeds and/or fruit skins. The filling mass contains either only the above at least one filler made of crushed fruit seeds and/or fruit skins, or additionally at least one more inorganic filler in the form of particles. The curable filling mass has a viscosity of 1,000 to 20,000 cP. The moulded article constitutes a kitchen sink, shower base, wash basin, bathtub, countertop, or flooring, wall or ceiling panel. The moulded article is created by adding the filling mass into a mould to be polymerised, followed by removing the polymerised moulded article from the mould.

EFFECT: creation of a filling mass suitable for manufacturing moulded articles with comparable mechanical (impact strength), physical, and chemical properties or exceeding said properties as compared to moulded products without contained particles of seeds or skins; added fillers from fruit seeds or fruit skins reduce the specific weight of the filling mass, i.e., the weight of the manufactured moulded article.
