Abstract: A dry construction composition is easily wet-sprayable by means of a screw pump, thus forming, after hardening, a durably mechanically resistant insulating material (?<0.1 W·m?1·K?1). The composition contains: —A— at least one binder, itself including: —A1— at least one main binder containing lime and/or at least one alumina source and/or at least one calcium sulfate source, preferably at least one alumina source, —A2— at least one water-retaining agent, and —A3— preferably at least one surfactant; and —B— at least one biosourced filler, preferably of plant origin. The ratio B/A (liters/kg) is between 2 and 9. The composition is intended to be mixed with water in a water/binder ratio —A— of no lower than 0.8. Also disclosed is a wet composition, the preparation thereof, to the binder —A— taken in isolation, and to a method of spraying the composition onto a horizontal or vertical substrate or by molding.

Abstract: A hydraulic binder including (in % by dry weight); A. at least 50 of at least one ground and granulated blast-furnace slag; B. more than 5 of at least one calcium aluminate cement and/or of at least one calcium sulfoaluminate cement; C. more than 5 of at least one source of sulfate ions; D. between 1 and 5 of Ca(OH)2 and/or Portland cement; E. between 0.01 and 1 of at least one alkali metal carbonate; F. and at least one alkalifying reagent consisting of at least one alkali metal carbonate and/or bicarbonate, different from E; under the following conditions: (i) amount of C allows sulfate ions of C to react with B and A; (ii) the amount of F sufficiently causes a reaction with D in water resulting in a wet formulation with a pH not less than 12, for a water-to-mortar mixing rate between 10 and 35% by weight.

Abstract: A system for spraying granular pasty matrices onto buildings. A spray gun for a wet mortar which makes possible the easy, safe and efficient spraying of wet mortars including aggregates with a particle size D50 of between 1 and 15 millimeters. The system which it concerns which includes spray gun for wet mortar provided with gun body, with at least one injector emerging in contacting chamber, at least one spray nozzle for mortar, and at least one connection end piece mounted on inlet of body for flow of mortar. Flow of mortar within the guiding duct of body is monodirectional or multidirectional (angular deviation<30°. The position of injection head of the injector in chamber is adjustable. The mortar is constituted by a pasty matrix including aggregates, fillers and additives. The aggregates have a D50=1-15 mm and a form factor F?1.

Abstract: A dry construction composition that is easily wet-sprayed by a screw pump to form an insulating and mechanically resistant material after hardening comprises: at least one binder that includes at least one primary binder comprising lime and/or at least one source of alumina and/or at least one source of calcium sulfate, at least one water retention agent, and preferably at least one surfactant; and at least one plant-based bio-based filler based on sunflower stalk and/or corn stalk and/or rape stalk, having a Bulk Density (BD) in kg/m3 that is less than 110. The ratio of the binder to the filler is between 2 and 9 in liters/kg. The composition can be mixed with water in a ratio of water/binder that is greater than or equal to 0.8 to form a wet composition. The wet composition can be sprayed onto a horizontal or vertical substrate or molded to a desired shape.
