Abstract

A method for producing a floor construction on a substrate by applying a screed to the substrate and then applying a seal to the screed. The screed is based on a screed composition which includes an aluminate binder, a calcium sulfate binder and fillers, where the amount of filler is 30 to 80 wt % and the total amount of aluminate binder and calcium sulfate binder is 20 to 70 wt % and the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder is in the range from 1:1 to 1:5. The method enables a short production time and at the same time improved adhesion between screed and seal.

First claim

1 . A method for producing a floor construction on a substrate, comprising the following steps:
a) mixing a screed composition with water to form a screeding compound, b) applying the screeding compound to the substrate, c) drying the screeding compound to form a dried screed, and d) applying a seal to the dried screed by
d1) adhering a sheetlike or platelike membrane to the dried screed using an adhesive or
d2) applying a fluid or pasty sealing material to the dried screed, with the sealing material solidifying to form the seal, and
e) optionally applying a floorcovering to the seal, where the screed composition comprises i) an aluminate binder selected from calcium aluminate cement and/or calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ii) a calcium sulfate binder selected from calcium sulfate hemihydrate and/or calcium sulfate anhydrite, and iii) one or more fillers, where the amount of filler is 30% to 80% by weight and the total amount of aluminate binder and calcium sulfate binder is 20% to 70% by weight, with the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder being in the range from 1:1 to 1:5, the weight figures being based on the dry weight of the screed composition.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder is in the range from 1:1.6 to 1:4.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the amount of filler is 35% to 75% by weight and/or the total amount of aluminate binder and calcium sulfate binder is 20% to 60% by weight.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the screed composition comprises:
i) 5% to 15% by weight of the aluminate binder, ii) 15% to 40% by weight of the calcium sulfate binder, and iii) 50% to 75% by weight of the one or more fillers.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the screed composition further comprises at least one polyol having a functionality of 4 or less and an OH group density of at least 0.033 mol OH per g polyol.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the one or more fillers comprise sand and/or calcium carbonate and/or the at least one polyol is glycerol and/or erythritol.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the screed composition further comprises at least one lithium salt, and/or wherein the screed composition further comprises tartaric acid and/or a tartaric acid salt.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a concrete substrate.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the screed has a layer thickness in the range from 3 to 100 mm.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drying time of the screed is substantially independent of the layer thickness of the screed.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drying duration of the screeding compound in step c) until ready for covering is not more than 24 hours.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the sheetlike or platelike membrane comprises a single-layer or multilayer plastic film and/or wherein the adhesive is a polymer dispersion or a powder-based dispersion or a tile adhesive, or the fluid or pasty sealing material is selected from a polymer dispersion, a slurried sealant or a reactive resin.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the floorcovering is a tiled flooring, a slab flooring or a plastic-based flooring.

14 . A floor construction comprising a substrate, a screed overlying the substrate, a seal overlying the screed and being an adhered sheetlike or platelike membrane or a sealing material applied in fluid or pasty form and then solidified, and optionally a floorcovering overlying the seal, wherein the screed is formed of a screed composition mixed with water and cured that comprises
i) an aluminate binder selected from calcium aluminate cement and/or calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ii) a calcium sulfate binder selected from calcium sulfate hemihydrate and/or calcium sulfate anhydrite, and iii) one or more fillers, where the amount of filler is 30% to 80% by weight and the total amount of aluminate binder and calcium sulfate binder is 20% to 70% by weight, with the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder being in the range from 1:1 to 1:5, the weight figures being based on the dry weight of the screed composition.

15 . The floor construction as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder is in the range from 1:1.6 to 1:4.

16 . The floor construction as claimed in claim 14 , obtainable by a method comprising the following steps:
a) mixing the screed composition with water to form the screeding compound, b) applying the screeding compound to the substrate, c) drying the screeding compound to form the dried screed, and d) applying the seal to the dried screed by
d1) adhering the sheetlike or platelike membrane to the dried screed using an adhesive or
d2) applying the fluid or pasty sealing material to the dried screed, with the sealing material solidifying to form the seal, and
e) optionally applying the floorcovering to the seal, where the screed composition comprises i) the aluminate binder selected from calcium aluminate cement and/or calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ii) the calcium sulfate binder selected from calcium sulfate hemihydrate and/or calcium sulfate anhydrite, and iii) one or more fillers, where the amount of filler is 30% to 80% by weight and the total amount of aluminate binder and calcium sulfate binder is 20% to 70% by weight, with the weight ratio of aluminate binder to calcium sulfate binder being in the range from 1:1 to 1:5, the weight figures being based on the dry weight of the screed composition.
