Abstract

The invention relates to a cement formulation with two liquid components. This alleviates the problems which result from dust generation where a powdered cement component is employed. Furthermore, the cement may be formed with conventional liquid handling and mixing equipment. The cement binder formulation includes a plasticizer. As the plasticizer is non-volatile, it remains an integral part of both the formulation and the final product obtained after application and drying of that formulation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A kit-of-parts for preparing an adhesive and/or sealing formulation comprising:
a) a hydraulic binder module being a storage-stable, liquid composition comprising:
a hydraulic binder including a mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and aluminate cement, and
an anhydrous liquid, where the anhydrous liquid has a boiling point greater than 175° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure and is inert towards the hydraulic binder, wherein the anhydrous liquid is a plasticizer that remains an integral part of both the adhesive and/or sealing formulation and the final product obtained after application and drying of the formulation; and

b) an aqueous liquid module, wherein the aqueous liquid module comprises water and a polymer dispersed therein, and the amount of water comprised in the aqueous liquid module is in the range of from about 30 to 60 wt. %, wherein said dispersed polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from −40° to 70° C.

2. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 , wherein said dispersed polymer is selected from the group consisting of: poly(meth)acrylates; polyvinyls; oil-modified polymers; polyesters; polyurethanes; polyamides; chlorinated polyolefins; mixtures thereof; and copolymers thereof.

3. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 , wherein said dispersed polymer is an acrylate polymer or co-polymer.

4. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 further comprising, distributed over one or both of the modules, from 0.1 to 10 wt. % of the formulation of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of: set modifying agents; gypsum hydration expansion controlling agents; flow enhancing polymers; rheology modifiers; anti-foaming agents; de-foaming agents; and, mixtures thereof.

5. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer is at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyalkyleneglycols, polyethers, sulphonated organic compounds, phosphorylated organic compounds, alkyl esters of organic acids, aryl esters of organic acids, natural oils, synthetic oils, vinyl polymers, polyesters, and silicones.

6. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of polyethers, vinyl polymers, silicones and oils.

7. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic binder module as a whole contains less than 1.0 wt. % water.

8. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic binder module as a whole contains 0 wt. % water.

9. The kit-of-parts according to claim 1 , wherein a W/B ratio is from 0.1 to 2.0, where W is an amount of the water in the aqueous liquid module and B is a total amount of the hydraulic binder in the formulation.

10. The kit-of-parts according to claim 9 , wherein the W/B ratio is from 0.2 to 1.5.

11. The kit-of-parts according to claim 9 , wherein the W/B ratio is from 0.3 to 1.

12. A kit-of-parts for preparing an adhesive and/or sealing formulation comprising:
a) a hydraulic binder module being a storage-stable, liquid composition consisting of:
a hydraulic binder, where the hydraulic binder includes a mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and aluminate cement, and
an anhydrous liquid that has a boiling point greater than 175° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure and is inert towards the hydraulic binder, wherein the anhydrous liquid is a plasticizer that remains an integral part of both the adhesive and/or sealing formulation and the final product obtained after application and drying of the formulation; and

b) an aqueous liquid module, wherein the aqueous liquid module comprises water and a polymer dispersed therein; wherein the amount of water comprised in the aqueous liquid module is in the range of from about 30 to 60 wt. %.

13. A kit-of-parts for preparing an adhesive and/or sealing formulation comprising:
a) a hydraulic binder module being a storage-stable, liquid composition comprising:
a hydraulic binder including a mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and aluminate cement, and
an anhydrous liquid, where the anhydrous liquid has a boiling point greater than 175° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure and is inert towards the hydraulic binder, wherein the anhydrous liquid is a plasticizer that remains an integral part of both the adhesive and/or sealing formulation and the final product obtained after application and drying of the formulation, wherein the plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of polyalkyleneglycols; and

b) an aqueous liquid module, wherein the aqueous liquid module comprises water and a polymer dispersed therein, and the amount of water comprised in the aqueous liquid module is in the range of from about 30 to 60 wt. %.

14. The kit of parts according to claim 13 , wherein said dispersed polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from −40° to 70° C.

15. The kit-of-parts according to claim 13 , wherein the anhydrous liquid is a plasticizer which would lower the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the dispersed polymer in the combined adhesive and/or sealing formulation.

16. A method comprising:
combining the modules of the kit-of-parts according to claim 1 as an adhesive.
