A dry grout composition including a calcium aluminosulfate based hydraulic cement, a mineral filler, a thixotropic agent, and a superplasticizer agent. Also, an anchoring capsule, containing the dry grout composition, for use in anchoring reinforcing member dowel, or anchor elements in a hole of a substrate, and a method of use.

A curing composition for an epoxy resin compound useful for the chemical fastening of construction elements, an epoxy resin compound, and a multi-component epoxy resin system are provided. A method for the chemical fastening of construction elements in boreholes and a method of using a salt (S) as an accelerator in an epoxy resin compound for chemical fastening, the epoxy resin compound including a Mannich base and an amine which is reactive to epoxy groups.

A hardener composition can be used for a reactive resin system containing a reactive resin based on radically curable, ethylenically unsaturated compounds. The hardener composition contains a hardener for the reactive resin and a filler mixture. The filler mixture is composed of a first filler having a first average particle size d.sub.50,1 and a second filler having a second average particle size d.sub.50,2. The first average particle size d.sub.50,1 of the first filler is greater than the second average particle size d.sub.50,2 of the second filler (d.sub.50,1>d.sub.50,2). The ratio d.sub.50,1 to d.sub.50,2 (d.sub.50,1:d.sub.50,2) is in the range of 8:1 to 100:1. The filler mixture is useful, and a reaction resin system can contain the hardener composition.

A non-polar reaction resin mixture can be used to improve the adhesion of a mortar composition based on radically polymerizable compounds, in particular based on urethane (meth)acrylates, on the surface of semi-cleaned and/or damp boreholes in mineral substrates. The use of a non-polar reaction resin mixture in the corresponding mortar composition reduced the sensitivity thereof to dampness and inadequate cleaning conditions, so that mortar compositions are obtained overall which are characterized by improved robustness against external influences.

Methods, compositions, and tools for use in creating rapidly forming plugs in situ in subterranean formations. In one instance, the disclosure provides a method that includes: placing a first pill comprising a calcium-aluminate-based cement composition at a plug location within the wellbore with the tubing; and placing a second pill comprising an alkaline fluid composition into the wellbore adjacent to the first pill with the tubing. In some cases there is a spacer fluid or spacer device between the first pill and the second pill. In some cases tubing having a mixing device is located at the bottom of the tubing in the wellbore to aid I mixing the first pill and the second pill to facilitate a chemical in situ reaction of the first pill and the second pill. The reaction between the first pill and the second pill forms a set plug at the plug location.
