Patent Application

The present invention relates to a multi-component resin system for producing a mortar composition based on isocyanate amine adducts for the chemical fastening of construction elements. The invention also includes a mortar composition based on isocyanate amine adducts produced from the multi-component resin system. The present invention also relates to a method for the chemical fastening of construction elements in mineral substrates and to the use of a mortar composition based on the isocyanate amine adducts for the chemical fastening of construction elements in mineral substrates.
Binder systems based on radically curing compounds such as methacrylate resins or based on epoxy resins reacted with amine curing agents are usually used to produce mortar compositions for the chemical fastening of construction elements, such as anchor rods, reinforcing bars and screws in boreholes. There are numerous commercially available products based on these binder systems.
However, the known binder systems have inadequate properties, especially under critical external conditions, such as elevated temperatures, uncleaned boreholes, damp or water-filled boreholes, diamond-drilled boreholes, boreholes in cracked concrete, etc.
In addition to developing and improving the existing binder systems, efforts are therefore also being made to examine binder systems other than those mentioned above with regard to their suitability as a basis for mortar compositions for chemical fastening. For example. EP 3 447 078 A1 describes a chemical anchor which is produced from a multi-component composition which comprises a polyisocyanate component and a polyaspartic add ester component. When the two components are mixed, polyurea is formed in a polyaddition reaction, which forms the binder of the mortar composition.
These mortar compositions are disadvantageous in that the polyaspartic acid esters used lead to insufficient cross-linking and become highly softened already at temperatures of 80° C., and therefore do not perform well at high temperatures. In addition, the cured test specimens are not base stable.
In order to overcome these disadvantages, a mufti-component resin system was developed which, proceeding from EP 3 447 078 A1, uses an amine having an average NH functionality of 2 or more instead of the polyaspartic acid ester, as described in the unpublished European patent application no. 20 164 633.8.
However, this system does not yet provide the high loads required for some purposes and applications in chemical fastening.
There is therefore also need for mortar compositions based on isocyanate amine adducts which perform better, that is to say which have high pull-out values and load values, by comparison with the systems known from application EP 20 164 633.8.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a mortar composition based on isocyanate amine adducts which provides for improved pull-out strength, that is to say higher pull-out values, and is therefore suitable for fastening purposes at high loads.
The object of the invention is achieved by providing a multi-component resin system according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the multi-component resin system according to the invention are provided in the dependent claims, which may optionally be combined with one another.
The invention also relates to a mortar composition according to claim 14 which is intended for the chemical fastening of construction elements and is produced from the mufti-component resin system according to the invention.
The invention also relates to a method according to claim 15 for the chemical fastening of construction elements in mineral substrates, to the use of a molecular sieve in a multi-component resin system based on isocyanate amine adducts according to claim 16 for chemical fastening in order to increase the pull-out values of a chemical anchor and to the use of the multi-component resin system according to the invention or the mortar composition produced therefrom according to claim 17 for the chemical fastening of construction elements in mineral substrates.
The Invention firstly relates to a multi-component resin system containing an isocyanate component which comprises at least one aliphatic and/or aromatic polyisocyanate having an average NCO functionality of 2 or more, and an amine component which comprises at least one amine which is reactive to isocyanate groups and has an average NH functionality of 2 or more, with the proviso that the multi-component resin system is free of polyaspartic acid esters, the isocyanate component and/or the amine component comprising at least one filler and at least one rheology additive and the total filling level of a mortar composition produced by mixing the isocyanate component and the amine component being in a range from 30 to 80%, characterized in that the isocyanate component and/or the amine component contains a molecular sieve.
It has been found that the presence of polyaspartic acid esters in isocyanate-amine-based binder systems used in mortar compositions for chemical fastening has a negative influence on the temperature resistance of the cured mortar compositions. In particular, corresponding systems have a greatly reduced bond stress at elevated temperatures, such as 80° C.
It is also essential that the multi-component resin system and in particular the amine component of the multi-component resin system be free of polyaspartic acid esters. The expression “free of polyaspartic acid esters” in the context of the present application means that the proportion of polyaspartic acid esters in the multi-component resin system is preferably less than 2 wt. %. more preferably less than 0.5 wt. % and even more preferably less than 0.1 wt. %. based in each case on the total weight of the multi-component resin system. The presence of polyaspartic acid esters in the aforementioned weight percentage ranges can be attributed to potential impurities. The proportion of polyaspartic acid esters in the multi-component resin system is, however, particularly preferably 0.0 wt. %. based on the total weight of the multi-component resin system.
For better understanding of the invention, the following explanations of the terminology used herein are considered to be useful. Within the meaning of the invention:

The average NH functionality can also be based on the information provided by the amine supplier, the NH functionality actually indicated possibly differing from the theoretical average NH functionality as it is understood here. The expression “average” means that it is the NH functionality of the compound and not the NH functionality of the amino group(s) contained in the compound. The amino groups can be primary or secondary amino groups. The amine can contain either only primary or only secondary amino groups, or both primary and secondary amino groups.
According to a preferred embodiment, the amine which is reactive to isocyanate groups is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic and aromatic amines, particularly preferably from the group consisting of alicyclic and aromatic amines.

By using the molecular sieve, the performance (load level) of a cured isocyanate-amine-based chemical anchor mass could be increased by 5 to 10% compared with an anchor mass which does not contain a molecular sieve.
The molecular sieve can be contained in one of the two components of the multi-component resin system or in both components.
The molecular sieve can also serve as a drying agent for the isocyanate component and can thus improve the storage stability of the isocyanate component and thus of a multi-component resin system which comprises the isocyanate component.
If the molecular sieve is used as a drying agent, the isocyanate component contains the molecular sieve or at least part thereof, the minimum amount in which the molecular sieve is contained in the isocyanate component being 3 wt. %, based on the weight of the isocyanate component.

The inorganic fillers can be added in the form of sands, powders, or molded bodies, preferably in the form of fibers or balls. A suitable selection of the filers with regard to type and particle size distribution/(fiber) length can be used to control properties relevant to the application, such as rheological behavior, press-out forces, internal strength, tensile strength, pull-out forces and impact strength.

Furthermore, it is possible for fillers based on aluminum oxide such as aluminum oxide ultra-fine filers of the ASFP type from Denka, Japan (d50=0.3 μm) or grades such as DAW or DAM with the type designations 45 (d50<0.44 μm), 07 (d50>8.4 μm), 05 (d50<5.5 μm) and 03 (d50<4.1 μm). Moreover, the surface-treated fine and ultra-fine filers of the Aktisil AM type (treated with aminosilane, d50=2.2 μm) and Aktisil EM (treated with epoxysilane, d50=2.2 μm) from Hoffman Mineral can be used. The fillers can be used individually or in any mixture with one another.

The proportion of one or more rheology additives in the amine component is preferably from 0.1 to 5 wt. %. more preferably from 0.5 to 3 wt. %. based on the total weight of the amine component.
In one embodiment of the multi-component resin system, the isocyanate component and/or the amine component contains at least one silane as an adhesion promoter.
By using a silane, the cross-linking of the borehole wall with the mortar composition is improved such that the adhesion increases in the cured state.
Suitable adhesion promoters are selected from the group of silanes that have at least one Si-bound hydrolyzable group. It is not necessary for the silane to comprise a further functional group in addition to the Si-bound hydrolyzable group, such as an isocyanate group or an amino group. Nevertheless. In addition to the Si-bound hydrolyzable group, the silane may comprise one or more identical or different further functional groups, such as an amino, mercapto, epoxy, isocyanato, alkenyl, (meth) acryloyl, anhydrido or vinyl group.

The silane can be contained in the multi-component resin system in an amount of up to 10 wt. %. preferably from 0.1 to 5 wt. %. more preferably from 1.0 to 2.5 wt. %. based on the total weight of the multi-component resin system. The silane can be contained entirely in one component, i.e. the isocyanate component or the amine component, or be split between the two components. i.e. split between the isocyanate component and the amine component.
The invention also relates to a mortar composition which is produced by mixing the isocyanate component and the amine component of the multi-component resin system.
The multi-component resin system is preferably present in cartridges or film pouches which are characterized in that they comprise two or more separate chambers in which the isocyanate component and the amine component are separately arranged in a reaction-inhibiting manner.
For the use as intended of the multi-component resin system, the isocyanate component and the amine component are discharged out of the separate chambers and mixed in a suitable device, for example a static mixer or dissolver. The mixture of isocyanate component and amine component (mortar composition) is then introduced into the optionally previously cleaned borehole by means of a known injection device. The fastening element to be fastened is then inserted into the mortar composition and aligned. The reactive constituents of the isocyanate component react with the amino groups of the amine component by polyaddition such that the mortar composition cures under environmental conditions within a desired period of time, preferably within a few minutes or hours.
The mortar composition according to the invention or the multi-component resin system according to the invention is preferably used for construction purposes. The expression “for construction purposes” refers to the structural adhesion of concrete/concrete, steel/concrete or steel/steel or one of said materials with other mineral materials, to the structural strengthening of components made of concrete, brickwork and other mineral materials, to reinforcement applications with fiber-reinforced polymers of building objects, to the chemical fastening of surfaces made of concrete, steel or other mineral materials, in particular the chemical fastening of construction elements and anchoring means, such as anchor rods, anchor bolts.

The invention is described in greater detail below on the basis of embodiments which, however, should not be understood in a restrictive sense.
The following compounds were used to prepare the comparative composition and the composition according to the invention:
The comparative compositions and the compositions according to the invention of the isocyanate component and the amine component are shown in Table 1 below.
To produce the comparative mortar mass 1, the isocyanate component and the amine component were each first produced individually. For this purpose, the constituents shown in Table 1 were combined and mixed in a speed mixer (DAC-600 from Hauschild) for 30 seconds at 1500 rpm. The isocyanate component and the amine component were then combined with one another and mixed in a speed mixer for 30 seconds at 1500 rpm. The mortar composition obtained in this way was filled into a single-component hard cartridge and injected into a borehole using an extrusion device.
To produce the comparative mortar composition 2 and the mortar compositions according to the invention, the isocyanate components and the amine components were each first produced individually. For this purpose, the constituents shown in Table 1 were combined and homogenized in a dissolver (PC Laborsystem GmbH, 8 min: 3500 rpm) under vacuum (80 mbar) to form an air-bubble-free pasty composition. The isocyanate component and the amine component were then combined with one another and mixed in a speed mixer for 30 seconds at 1500 rpm. The mortar compositions obtained in this way were each filled into a hard cartridge and injected into a borehole using an extrusion device.
To determine the bond stresses achieved with the mortar compositions, a high-strength threaded anchor rod M12 was used, which was doweled into a hammer-drilled borehole having a diameter of 14 mm and a borehole depth of 60 mm by means of the two-component mortar composition according to the invention in C20125 concrete slabs. To determine the reference bond stress, after a curing time of 24 hours at a temperature of 23° C. the failure load was determined by centrally pulling out the threaded anchor rod with close support. The mean failure load was determined from the results of five anchors.
The bond stresses obtained using the mortar formulations described above are listed in Table 1.
Both the formulations without 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (comparison 1, example 1) and the formulations with 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (comparison 2, example 2) show an improvement in bond stress of approx. 10% by adding 2% zeolite powder.
