This invention relates to a dry mortar mixture, which after mixing with water provides a water and preferably frost-resistant mortar of thin layer thickness with which one can make a leveling, elastic layer on arbitrary substrates, which meets one or more of DIN18353, DIN19353 and DIN18156 and onto which a covering floor covering can be applied, such as carpet, floor tiles or parquet. This mortar mixture comprises grains of expanded glass.
The dry mortar mixture of the invention is characterized by a glass mixture of expanded glass beads (glass granulate) with a grain size (preferably with a discontinuous grain distribution) d/D 0/8 (present are grains of at least 0 and at most 8.0 millimeter diameter), mixed in a ratio of between 1:1 and 1:3, for example 1:2 (for example, 6 kg glass mixture and 12 kg of binder mixture) with a dust poor or dust free binding mixture of hydraulic binders and sand (stone granules) in the weight ratio of 1:2 to 1:4, wherein to the binder mixture preferably one or more of the following additives (preferably a minimum of 0.1 or 1.0, or 10% by weight per additive) is added: elastomers in powder form (for example, ground rubber); in water re-dispersible resin powder (e.g., alkali resistant copolymer, for example, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer); alkali metal salt, anti-foaming agent; aniogeen or non-aniogeen surfactant (alkali-resistant); hydroxyl carboxylic acid (e.g., tartaric acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid) or salt (e.g., lithium salt) thereof; typical additives (e.g., one or more of preservatives, thickeners, liquefaction agents).
The mortar mixture is mixed at the construction site with water, for example, 3.5 liters of water to 18 kg of dry mortar mixture, to a plastic mortar and in a thickness of approximately between 5 and 25 mm, spread on the substrate with a smooth string, a blade or a leveling strip. Onto the cured layer, for example with the aid of a dispersion adhesive, the floor or wall covering (top layer) can be applied.
The mortar can be used for a wooden or concrete floor or wall (a wall to be tiled in particular) in the bathroom, toilet, living room, kitchen, bedroom, hallway or landing of a permanent home on shore. Other applications are also conceivable.
With the invention a smoothing layer can be realized of 800 kg, which traditionally weighs 4000 kg. The specific weight of the completed, ready to be spread, mixed mortar is 0.8 (of a traditional mortar at least 1.9). The dry time of this mortar is very short compared to a traditional mortar.
For the glass mixture preferably one or more of the following applies: for the d/D, the d is a minimum of 0.2 or 0.4 or 0.5 and/or D a maximum of 6.0 or 5.0 or 4.5 or 4.0 or 3.5; for the d/D one or more grain sizes are missing, for example, grain sizes that are between 25% and 50% smaller than D and/or between 200% and 400% greater than d; present are a fraction 0.5/1.0 and/or 2.0/4.0 (the d and/or D may differ 10 or 20% from these values); the fraction 0.25/0.5 and/or 1.0/2.0 is absent (the d and/or D may differ 10 or 20% from these values); one or more grain sizes between 1.0 and 2.0 millimeters (or a 10 or 20% of one or both deviating value) is absent (preferably all grain sizes); the percentage by mass of the present granule sizes is substantially the same; the grain size distribution is around an average, so that an open structure is obtained; the average grain size distribution of the glass granulate is at least substantially a factor of 1.25 larger in comparison with the average grain size distribution of the sand or the sand including the remaining mineral granulate; the amount of glass granulate of the smallest sieve size is less than 65% of total glass mixture; the d50 value (grain size associated with the median of the summed mass percentage of the grains) of the glass is preferably between 1.0 and 3.0 mm; the voids content of the unbound glass mixture is preferably between 25 and 45 vol %; instead of absent can a grain size which is declared as missing be present in a significantly lower percentage by mass, for example at least 75% less; the specific weight of the glass granulate is between about 0.3 and 0.6 (specific gravity of water=1.0); contains at least two fractions, and optionally lacks a fraction between two fractions (fraction=undivided group grain sizes, for example, all grain sizes between 0.5 and 1.0 or between 2.0 and 4.0, for example, as commercially available).
The hydraulic binder contains a content by weight of mineral binder, for example a content of Portland cement, trass Portland cement, trass cement, iron portland cement, white cement, gypsum, plaster and/or aluminum melt cement. The binder is preferably present in an excess.
The sand, preferably quartz sand, preferably has a grain size between 0 and 8 mm, more preferably at least 0.05 mm and/or not more than 3 mm.
The dry binding mixture contains: 200 parts by weight portland cement (hydraulic binder), 400 parts by weight sand from 0.12 to 2 mm, 25 parts by weight elastomers, 15 parts by weight again in water dispersible synthetic material powder, 5 parts by weight of a mixture of 1 mole of lithium carbonate and 1 mole of tartaric acid, 5 parts by weight alkali metal salt (on sodium basis), 10 parts by weight anti-foaming agent and 10 parts by weight surfactant.

After curing the mortars of the above examples satisfy the following conditions (DIN18156): compressive strength 25 MPa, flexural strength 8 MPa, adhesion-tensile strength 1.5 MPa (dry and 0.8 MPa (wet), shear strength 9 N/mm (dry) and 6 N/mm (wet).
Commercially available fractions expanded glass granulate are for example: 0.1-0.3; 0.25-0.5; 0.5-1.0; 1.0-2.0; 2.0-4.0; 4.0-8.0.

The attached single FIGURE shows the discontinuous grain size distribution of the glass according to an example according to which the glass mixture consists of the two fractions 0.5/1.0 and 2.0/4.0 (d/D=0.5/4.0 for the total glass mixture), and all other groups are missing, while the two fractions are present in equal mass percentage (50/50). Vertically, the summed mass percentage and horizontally the grain size of the granulate are indicated.
