Abstract: For fastening anchoring means, such as anchor rods, in solid accommodating materials without expansion pressure, mortar compositions are used, which consist of a hardener and a resin. To improve the strength properties, vinyl ester urethane resin is employed, which optionally can be accelerated.

Abstract: An anchor rod has an axially extending anchoring region including an axially extending expansion section widening in the direction the rod is inserted into a borehole in a structural component. The anchor rod is held in the borehole by a hardenable mortar compound. The mortar compound is prevented from adhering to the anchoring region. Since the mortar compound does not bond to the anchor rod, if there is relative movement between the anchor rod and the hardened mortar compound, the expansion section develops compressive force deviating from the rod axis and acting on the mortar compound, while the compound maintains composite action with the structural component, particularly in a fractured tension zone of the structural component.

Abstract: A foamable, 2-component mortar composition is used to fix tie bars and similar anchoring means in boreholes, especially in hollow checker firebrick. The mortar composition is composed of a reactive resin, a curing agent component, as well as a foaming agent. The volume of the mortar composition required for the anchoring can be reduced significantly with the inventive composition. This is particularly important for anchorings which cross hollow checker firebrick.

Abstract: A combination for securing an anchor member in a receiving material includes a hardenable reaction resin mortar containing filler material and a sleeve-like dowel member with openings extending through the dowel member wall so that mortar injected into the dowel member can escape laterally outwardly through the openings. The ratio of the diameter of the openings through the dowel member wall to the mean particle diameter with the filler material is in the range of approximately 1.5 to 12.0, and particularly 1.8 to 5.6.

Abstract: In a hand tool for the mixing and metered dispensing of a two-component mass, a container holding a solid component mass is mounted in a handgun-like shaped support member. A mixing chamber is aligned with and mounted on one end of the container for mixing the components of the mass. A motor in the support member drives a drive shaft extending axially through the container. A mixing worm is connected to the drive shaft and is located within the mixing chamber. A metering pump is located within the support member for delivering a liquid component of the mass from a tank. The metering pump is a hose pump powered by the drive shaft. A conveying helix is positioned on the drive shaft in the container. Accordingly, since the drive shaft powers the metering pump and the conveying helix, a fixed mixture ratio of the solid and liquid components is delivered into the mixing chamber independently of the quantity dispensed. The mixed components flow out of the mixing chamber through a dispensing nozzle.

Abstract: A two-component mortar composition for securing stays and for rock stabilization in mining having an unsaturated polyester in one component and a hardener material in the other. The composition comprises a total of 15 to 35 weight percent of unsaturated polyester, 9 to 25 weight percent of reactive diluent, 44 to 66 weight percent of filler, 0.5 to 4 weight percent of thixotropic agent, and 1 to 6 weight percent of a hardener which is a free radical curing catalyst. The composition exhibits desired strength levels and also exhibits the desired securing properties for mortar compositions as well as ease of handling.
