Abstract: Calcium carbonate which has an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 3 ?m is used in an inorganic mortar system for a chemical fastening of anchors and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates. The system includes a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating the curing process. The component A includes at least one blocking agent selected from phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid and phosphonic acids, at least one plasticizer, and water. The component B includes an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water. Moreover, the calcium carbonate increases load values. Further, a method is used for a chemical fastening of anchors and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete or natural stone.
