A method of producing a carbonated composite material includes: providing a carbonatable cementitious material in particulate form; mixing the carbonatable cementitious material with water to produce a mix; forming a predetermined shape with the mix, wherein the predetermined shape has an initial pore structure containing an initial pore solution having a first pH; pre-conditioning the predetermined shape to remove a predetermined amount of the water from the predetermined shape to produce a pre-conditioned shape; carbonating the pre-conditioned shape in an environment comprising carbon dioxide to produce a modified pore structure containing a modified pore solution having and a second pH, wherein the difference between the first pH and the second pH is represented by a ΔpH, and the ΔpH is 1.0 or less.

A two-component system for forming adhesive bonds or for chemical anchoring comprises a curable binder component A and an activator component B. The component A comprises: A-1) an inhibited hydraulic binder selected from among calcium aluminate cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement and mixtures thereof; the component B comprises: B-1) a curing activator. At least one of the components A and/or B comprises: V-1) an organic binder; and V-2) a filler having a Mohs hardness of at least 5. The system is an aqueous system which is unproblematical from a health point of view. It is easy to process and quickly attains high strengths.
