A method for forming a refractory material is described comprising the steps of placing a core material 12 into a granulator device 16, operating the granulator device 16 to form the core material into granules 16, adding a coating material 18 to the granulator device 16, operating the granulator device 16 to result in the formation of a layer 20 of the coating material 18 encapsulating the granules 16, and then heating the coated granules 22. Materials manufactured using the method are also described.

An inorganic mortar system for chemical fastening of an anchor in mineral substrates can contain at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8. The inorganic mortar system contains a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating the curing process. Component A contains at least one blocking agent selected from boric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, and salts and mixtures thereof. Component B contains an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water. The use of at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8 in an inorganic mortar increases load values and reduces shrinkage. A method can be used for chemical fastening of an anchor, preferably of metal elements, in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, or natural stone.
