It was surprisingly found that the binder system according to the invention hardens in the form of a hybrid matrix which is acid-resistant, water-resistant and alkali-resistant. The binder system can be used for the production of a hydraulically setting mortar which, after setting, hardening for seven days and subsequent storage for three days in acid, base and/or water, has compressive strengths of more than 15 N mm?2, preferably more than 20 N mm?2 and in particular more than 25 N mm?2, according to DIN EN 13888.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Construction Research & Technology GmbHInventors: Florian Ellenrieder, Uwe Gehrig, Mathias Degenkolb, Joachim Riedmiller

Publication number: 20130059099Abstract: The present invention relates to a cement-free alkali-activated binder. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cement-free alkali-activated binder having a novel combination ratio, which can improve the compressive strength of mortar and concrete in which the cement-free alkali-activated binder is used as a binding material instead of cement, and which can solve the low field applicability of mortar and concrete in terms of quick setting characteristics, fluidity loss, economic efficiency and the like, and to mortar or concrete comprising the same. The cement-free alkali-activated binder can improve field applicability by controlling the content and combination ratio of an alkali activator included in the cement-free alkali-activated binder, and can solve the problems of the toxicity of cement, the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during the manufacturing of cement and the exhaustion of natural resources due to the production of cement.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: INDUSTRY FOUNDATION OF CHONNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Jin Kyu Song, Keun Hyeok Yang
