Abstract

A fastening system for chemically fastening an anchor, the fastening system including a chemical anchor that is a ready-for-use two-component mortar system based on albuminous cement, and an anchor rod comprising an attachment region and an anchoring region. The anchor rod is insertable into a borehole and has a profiled section including a plurality of expansion sections disposed axially in a row which are conically shaped.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fastening system for chemically fastening an anchor, the fastening system comprising:
1) a chemical anchor that is a ready-for-use two-component mortar system comprising a component A which is a curable composition, and a component B, which is in an aqueous-phase for initiating a curing process,
wherein component A comprises water, aluminous cement, at least one plasticizer, and at least one blocking agent selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, and a phosphonic acid,
wherein component B comprises an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water,
wherein
i) the initiator comprises a mixture of at least two members selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, and a combination thereof,
ii) the at least one retarder is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, gluconic acid, and a mixture thereof, and
iii) the at least one mineral filler is selected from the group consisting of a limestone filler, sand, corundum, dolomite, alkaline-resistant glass, crushed stone, gravel, pebble, and a mixture thereof, and
wherein said two-component mortar system has an initial set time of at least 10 minutes, and
an anchor rod comprising an attachment region and an anchoring region,
wherein the anchor rod is insertable into a borehole and has a profiled section comprising a plurality of expansion sections disposed axially in a row which are conically shaped.

2. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
the initiator comprises a mixture of at least two lithium metal salts.

3. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one retarder is citric acid, tartaric acid, or a mixture thereof.

4. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one mineral filler has an average particle size of not more than 500 μm.

5. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one mineral filler is a limestone filler or a mixture of at least two limestone fillers.

6. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein component A and component B are in form of a slurry or paste.

7. A fastening system for chemically fastening an anchor comprising:
a chemical anchor that is a ready-for-use teas-component mortar system comprising
a curable composition component A comprising water, aluminous cement, at least one plasticizer, and at least one blocking agent selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, and a phosphoric acid, and
an aqueous-phase for initiating a curing process component B comprising an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water, and
an anchor rod comprising an attachment region and an anchoring region,
wherein the anchor rod is insertable into a borehole and has a profiled section comprising a plurality of expansion sections disposed axially in a row which are conically shaped,
wherein component B comprises
0.1 wt.-% to 4 wt.-% of lithium hydroxide,
0.1 wt.-% to 5 wt.-% of lithium sulfate or lithium sulfate monohydrate,
0.05 wt.-% to 5 wt.-% of citric acid,
0.05 wt.-% to 4 wt.-% of tartaric acid,
35 wt.-% to 45 wt.-% of a first mineral filler,
15 wt-% to 25 wt-% of a second mineral filler,
10 wt.-% to 20 wt.-% of a third mineral filler,
0.01 wt.-% to 0.5 wt.-% of a thickening agent, and
15 wt.-% to 25 wt.-% of water.

8. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
the distance of the expansion section for each of the plurality of the expansion sections is substantially constant over a longitudinal extension of the anchoring region.

9. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
a surface of each of the plurality of expansion sections comprises a coating.

10. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
a surface of each of the plurality of expansion sections is bright-nickel-plated and/or chromium-plated.

11. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
a surface of each of the plurality of expansion sections is electrochemically polished or electro-polished.

12. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the plurality of expansion sections comprises a passage for the inorganic mortar compound.

13. The fastening system according to claim 12 , wherein the passage is a flow channel.

14. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the plurality of expansion sections runs helically along the anchoring region.

15. A method of chemically fastening an anchor in a mineral surface, the method comprising:
setting the anchor in the mineral surface in the presence of the two-component mortar system according to claim 1 ; and
curing the two-component mortar system.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein
the mineral surface is at least one member selected from the group consisting of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, and natural stone.
