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 hybrid system for use as an adhesive, coating or paint, wherein the hybrid system includes a) a reaction resin based on α,β-unsaturated compounds, b) a reaction resin based on compounds that include CH-acidic methylene groups, and c) a primary amine, and to related subject matter.

A new adhesive composition comprising a cycloaliphatic-based epoxy composition, which is particularly suitable for use as a structural adhesive in anchoring applications.

Use of a synthetic resin system as an adhesive for chemical fixing technology, especially for fixing anchoring means in drilled holes, which synthetic resin system includes a) a reaction resin based on α, β-unsaturated compounds, b) a reaction resin based on compounds that include CH-acidic methylene groups, and c) a catalyst, and to related subject matter.

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.

A method for installing fastener in a base material. The fastener has a shank having a first end and a second end defining a length, a head provided at the second end, and a thread provided on the shank which includes a leading edge and a trailing edge adapted remove portions of the base material when inserted into the base material. The method includes forming a hole having a diameter which is a nominal shank diameter of the fastener to be installed in the base material. The hole is then filled with an adhesive having a viscosity of 350 cP or less. Finally, the fastener is rotated into the hole such that the adhesive is forced into portions of the base material adjacent to the shank and thread when the thread is fully inserted into the hole.

A fastening system for chemically fastening an anchor, the fastening system including a chemical anchor that is a ready-for-use two-component mortar system based on albuminous cement, and an anchor rod comprising an attachment region and an anchoring region. The anchor rod is insertable into a borehole and has a profiled section including a plurality of expansion sections disposed axially in a row which are conically shaped.

An encapsulated adhesive for easy handling and a method of making the encapsulated adhesive are presented. The encapsulated adhesive includes an adhesive material enclosed by a non-adhesive encapsulant that substantially surrounds the adhesive material. The encapsulant is strong enough to withstand handling and storage, but breaks in response to pressure, exposing the adhesive material. A method of bonding two pieces by forming a first cavity in a first piece, inserting the encapsulated adhesive into the first cavity, and inserting a member into the first cavity to breach the encapsulant is also presented.

A two-component system can be used for the chemical fastening of an anchor in a borehole by dual cure curing. The dual cure curing used is a combination of radical polymerization and ring-opening olefin metathesis polymerization (ROMP).

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.
