In a method for manufacturing articles in the form of a slab or block, obtained by means of a procedure during which an initial mix including aggregates and a binder undergo vacuum vibro-compression followed by a step involving hardening of the binder, the aggregates include synthetic aggregates and fillers with a hardness greater than or equal to 5 Mohs, which contain silicon dioxide substantially only in amorphous form.

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of articles made of conglomerate material, more particularly in the form of slabs or blocks, starting from a mixture comprising an optionally expanded granulate of stone material or lithoid material, and a binder based on a resin obtained from acrylate vegetal oils. The present invention also relates to the articles thus obtained.
