Abstract

A two-component inorganic injection mortar system includes a curable aqueous-phase aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B in aqueous-phase for initiating the curing process. Component A includes at least one blocking agent which is phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid or phosphonic acid, at least one plasticizer and water. Component B includes an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler and water. The curable aqueous-phase aluminous cement component A includes calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 15 μm. A two-component system, which is ready-for-use, can be used for chemical fastening of anchors, such as metal elements, or in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete or natural stone.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A two-component inorganic injection mortar system, comprising:
a curable aqueous-phase aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B in an aqueous-phase for initiating a curing process,
wherein component A further comprises at least one plasticizer, water, and at least one blocking agent selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid and phosphoric acids,
wherein component B comprises an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler and water, and
wherein the curable aqueous-phase aluminous cement component A comprises calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in a range of from 0.5 to 15 μm.

2. The two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 , wherein the calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 15 μm is present in a range of from 10 to 90 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the aluminous cement.

3. The two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 , wherein
i) the initiator comprises a mixture of alkali and/or alkaline earth metal salts,
ii) the at least one retarder is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, gluconic acid and mixtures thereof, and
iii) the at least one mineral filler is selected from the group consisting of limestone fillers, sand, corundum, dolomite, alkaline-resistant glass, crushed stones, gravels, pebbles and mixtures thereof.

4. The two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 , wherein the initiator comprises a mixture of lithium salts and/or sodium salts.

5. The two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one retarder is citric acid, tartaric acid or a mixture thereof.

6. The two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 , wherein component A and component B are in form of a slurry or paste.

7. A method, comprising:
chemical fastening of an anchor in a mineral substrate with the two-component inorganic injection mortar system according to claim 1 .

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the anchor is selected from the group consisting of an anchor rod, threaded anchor rod, a bolt and a steel reinforcement bar.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the mineral substrate is a structure made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete or natural stone.

10. A method of increasing a load value in fastening an anchor and/or a post-installed reinforcing bar in a mineral substrate with the inorganic injection mortar system of claim 1 , the method comprising:
incorporating, as component A in the mortar system, a calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in a range of from 0.5 to 15 μm, and
chemical fastening the anchor and/or post-installed reinforcing bar in the mineral substrate with the inorganic injection mortar system.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 15 μm is present in a range of from 10 to 90 wt.-%, based on total weight of the aluminous cement.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the initiator component B comprises a mixture of alkali and/or alkaline earth metal salts,
wherein the at least one retarder is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, gluconic acid and mixtures thereof, and
wherein the at least one mineral filler is selected from the group consisting of limestone fillers, sand, corundum, dolomite, alkaline-resistant glass, crushed stones, gravels, pebbles and mixtures thereof.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the anchor and/or post-installed reinforcing bar comprises an anchor rod, threaded anchor rod, bolt or steel reinforcement bar.

14. A method for chemical fastening of anchors and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates, the method comprising:
chemical fastening of an anchor or post-installed reinforcing bar in a mineral substrate with an inorganic injection mortar system, which comprises a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating a curing process,
wherein component A further comprises at least one blocking agent, at least one plasticizer and water, and
wherein component B comprises an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler and water, and
wherein the mortar system contains calcium aluminate cement having an average particle size in a range of from 0.5 to 15 μm.
