A composition including cement, filler, polymer and a compound having epoxide groups and also an amine, wherein the composition contains more than 10% by weight of cement and at room temperature is present as storage-stable free-flowing powder and/or granular material. When mixed with water, the composition makes polymer-modified mortars having good processability, excellent adhesion, strength, water impermeability, chemical resistance and quick coatability possible.
