Description

[0001] 2K epoxy mortar with styrenated phenol in the resin component

[0002] The invention relates to one- or (preferably) multi-component (in particular two-component) synthetic resin systems for fastening purposes, in particular for fastening anchoring elements in a building substrate, comprising an epoxy resin component (A) which contains an epoxy resin (containing one or more curable epoxies) and styrenated phenol, and a hardener component (B) which contains one or more hardeners (in particular amine hardeners). The invention also relates in particular to the use of such a synthetic resin system and methods using the same, as well as to the use of styrenated phenol as a constituent of the epoxy resin component of such a synthetic resin system, in particular for adjusting its viscosity and for producing two-component synthetic resin systems with a volume ratio of epoxy resin component to hardener component of 5:1 or greater.Non-aqueous synthetic resin systems are preferred in all variants of the invention, that is to say in particular those which are not present as dispersions of the organic constituents of one or more of the components before use - however, smaller mass fractions of water which may be present in the components as a result of production and / or storage, e.g. of each component (in particular 0.1%) up to 3%, are not excluded here.

[0003] Multi- (or two-) component epoxy-based compounds are known in principle in fastening technology in construction for the fastening of anchoring elements in holes or gaps in building substrates.

[0004] It should be noted that such systems usually have a

[0005] Volume ratio of epoxy component to hardener component (epoxy component : hardener component) in the range of 5 : 1 or mostly 3 : 1 or 1 : 1.

[0006] Formulating systems with higher volume ratios, such as 10:1, has so far been virtually impossible for epoxy-based products. The reason for this is that the significant reduction in resin concentration required to achieve the correct mixing ratio, for example, through fillers, is not possible, and the epoxy component would be too viscous for practical use due to excessive extrusion forces, for example, in two-chamber cartridges with static mixers, but also in two-chamber foil bags.

[0007] Styrenized phenol is basically known as an accelerator for a hardener in a hardener component (B) of two-component curable synthetic resin systems for fastening purposes, for example as described in W02005 / 090433 A with Mannich base formulations as amine hardeners.

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide synthetic resin systems for fastening purposes which also enable higher volume ratios of epoxy resin component to hardener component - in particular in two-chamber foil bags or two-chamber cartridges.

[0009] A further object of the present invention is to provide synthetic resin systems for fastening purposes which, for example, in cartridge systems with static mixers, enable low extrusion forces even at low temperatures (such as 10 °C or colder).

[0010] Now a surprisingly simple solution has been found to eliminate the conflicting objectives at higher volume ratios: The solution to the problem is based on the use of styrenated phenol as a thinner in the epoxy resin component.

[0011] It was surprisingly found that styrenated phenol has an accelerating effect on the hardener, even if the (e.g. amine) hardener only comes into contact with the styrenated phenol after the hardener component has been thoroughly mixed with the epoxy component, which contains styrenated phenol as a thinner, and also reduces the viscosity of the epoxy component, so that good reactivity and good extrusion properties ultimately result.

[0012] The styrenated phenol therefore acts as a non-reactive thinner and allows, particularly when using cartridges, a relatively large amount (volume) of epoxy component (A) to be formulated in relation to the volume of the hardener component (B). On the other hand, the accelerating effect is retained in the application when mixed with the hardener component.

[0013] A first aspect of the present invention relates to a one- or multi-component (in particular two-component) synthetic resin system for fastening purposes, in particular for fastening anchoring elements in a building substrate, comprising an epoxy resin component (A) which contains an epoxy resin (containing one or more curable epoxies) and styrenated phenol, and a hardener component (B) which contains a hardener, in particular an amine hardener. This can be produced in particular by adding styrenated phenol to an epoxy resin component of the synthetic resin system during the formulation of the epoxy resin component. Preferably, in such a synthetic resin system according to the invention, the volume ratio of epoxy resin component to hardener component is in the range of about 5:about 1; or with a larger volume ratio, e.g.: 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 12:1 or 15:1 A second subject matter of the present invention relates to the use of a one- or more (in particular two-) component synthetic resin system as defined above or below, in particular as defined in the preceding paragraph, for fastening an object, in particular for fastening an anchoring element in a hole or gap, on or in a building substrate.

[0014] A further subject matter of the invention relates to a method for fastening an object, in particular for fastening an anchoring element, to or in a building substrate, in which a one-component or more (in particular two-component) synthetic resin system defined above or below (in particular with the volume ratios of epoxy resin component to hardener component specified in the penultimate paragraph) is brought into contact with the object to be fastened and / or the building substrate, or an anchoring element and a one-component or more (in particular two-component) synthetic resin system defined above or below and an anchoring element are introduced into a hole or a gap in a building substrate.

[0015] A fourth subject matter of the invention relates to the use of styrenated phenol as an additive to an epoxy resin component of a one- or multi-component (in particular two-component) synthetic resin system, in particular for adjusting (in particular reducing) its viscosity and for facilitating extrusion, in particular compared to otherwise comparable synthetic resin systems without styrenated phenol in the epoxy resin component.

[0016] A fifth subject matter of the invention relates to the use of styrenated phenol as an additive in an epoxy resin component of a two-component synthetic resin system which comprises an epoxy resin component (A) which is an epoxy resin (containing one or more curable epoxies) and a hardener component (B) which comprises an amine hardener, for producing a two-component synthetic resin system with a >3:1, preferably 4:1, volume ratio of epoxy resin component to hardener component of about 5:about 1; or a larger volume ratio, e.g.: 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 12:1 or 15:1.

[0017] The following definitions serve to describe preferred meanings of general terms or features mentioned above and below and may replace one, several or all of the broader terms or features used to describe the subject matter of the invention, resulting in preferred embodiments of the invention, all of which are deemed to be disclosed herein.

[0024] Where "further" is mentioned, it means that features without this attribute may be more preferred.

[0025] Above and below, percentages or content specifications in percent always mean mass percentages, unless otherwise stated. Where no other information is provided, the percentages refer to the total mass of the components of a multi-component synthetic resin system excluding packaging (e.g., excluding the material used for the casings of films, excluding (e.g., glass) walls of glass cartridges, excluding the material used for the casing of plastic containers or cartridges (including static mixers), and the like).

[0030] The (reactive) epoxy resins (as reactive synthetic resins) based on epoxy contained in the epoxy component in synthetic resin systems according to the invention contain an epoxy component, preferably based on glycidyl compounds, for example those with an average glycidyl group functionality of 1.5 or greater, in particular of 2 or greater, e.g. from 2 to 10, which may optionally contain further glycidyl ethers as reactive diluent (which are preferably not styrenated phenols carrying epoxy or glycidyl groups).The epoxides of the epoxy component are preferably poly(including di)glycidyl ethers of at least one polyhydric alcohol or phenol, such as novolak, bisphenol F or bisphenol A (these three are particularly preferred, or mixtures of two or more thereof), or mixtures of such epoxides, in particular bisphenol A / F, obtainable for example by reacting the corresponding polyhydric alcohols with epichlorohydrin. Examples are trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ethers, novolak epoxy resins, bisphenol A epichlorohydrin resins and / or bisphenol F epichlorohydrin resins, for example with an average molecular weight of < 2000 Da, in particular < 700 Da.The epoxy resins can, for example, have an epoxy equivalent of 120 to 2000, preferably 150 to 400, such as in particular 155 to 195, for example 165 to 185. In a variant according to the invention, resins which are at least partially produced from biogenic components are preferred because they can increase the proportion of biogenic carbon, such as, for example, bisphenol A, bisphenol F or bisphenol A / F resins with a biogenic glycidyl portion (available, for example, from Spolchemie, Revolucni 1930 / 86, 400 32 Üsti nad Labern, Czech Republic). The proportion of epoxy resins in the total mass of reactants and additives of the multi-component synthetic resin system is preferably >0%, e.g. 5% to less than 100%, in particular 10 to 80%, 10 to 70% or 10 to 60%.

[0031] Mixtures of two or more such epoxy components are also possible. Suitable epoxy resins, reactive diluents, and hardeners can also be found in the standard work by Lee H and Neville K, "Handbook of Epoxy Resins" (New York: McGraw-Hill), 1982 (these compounds are incorporated herein by reference).

[0032] Styrenated phenols are understood to mean the reaction products (electrophilic substitution products) of phenols (such as phenol itself, which is particularly preferred), pyrocatechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, hydroxyhydroquinone, phloroglucinol, pyrogallol, o-cresol, m-cresol or p-cresol, in particular phenol, with styrene or styrene analogues, such as vinyltoluene, divinylbenzene or 4-vinylpyridine, in particular with styrene, in particular "styrenated phenol" itself (reaction product of styrene and phenol; GAS Reg. No. 61788-44-1), which may include, purely illustratively and not exhaustively, mixtures of compounds or individual compounds of the following formulae:

[0033] or 2,6-distyrylphenol, as well as oligo- and polystyrene compound moieties or compounds. The term "styrenated phenols" preferably does not include those with ethoxylation / propoxylation, and / or other derivatization, for example, by epoxy or glycidyl or residues containing epoxy and glycidyl groups, each of phenolic OH groups (in the context of the present invention, OH groups, preferably all of them, which contribute to the acceleration effect, should remain free).

[0034] The mass fraction of styrenated phenols in a system according to the invention is preferably from 0.01 to 50%, in particular from 0.1 to 30%, advantageously from 1 to 10%, preferably from >3 (e.g., 3.5 or 4) to 10%. Relative to (= in) the epoxy resin component, it is preferably from 0.01 to 50%, in particular from 0.1 to 30%, advantageously from 1 to 15%, in particular from >3 (e.g., 3.5 or 4) to 15%.

[0035] In all variants of the invention, the styrenated phenols can be present in one or the epoxy resin component as well as in one or the hardener component, or in a special embodiment only in one or the epoxy resin component, i.e. not in a hardener component.

[0036] It has been shown that excessive amounts of styrenated phenol, based on the amount of curable compounds carrying epoxy radicals (= in particular glycidyl group-bearing), can have a detrimental effect on the temperature resistance of the cured mass. It is therefore preferred that, based on the amount of curable compounds carrying epoxy radicals (= glycidyl group-bearing) in the (A) component, the mass fraction of styrenated phenol does not exceed 40%, but preferably remains below 30%, e.g. below 25 or preferably below 20%, preferably in each case with a lower limit of 0.01 or 1 or 3 or in particular more than 3 (e.g. 3, 5 or 4)%.

[0037] Preferably, a synthetic resin system according to the invention contains one or more silanes (particularly preferred variant) which have no or one or more hydrolyzable groups bonded to Si, wherein in the epoxy component (because of their reactivity with the epoxides) no silanes with amino or other groups reactive with the epoxy reactive resin may be present - such groups may, however, be provided in silanes which only occur in a hardener component.Preferably, the silanes can be selected according to the above-mentioned limitations from aminopropyl-trialkoxysilanes, such as 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane or 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane, N-(aminoalkyl)-3-amino-ipro-ipyltrialkoxysilane, such as N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-amino-propyl-itrimethoxysilane or N-(N'-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl)-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-mercaptopropyl-trialkoxysilane, such as 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, tetraalkoxysilane, such as tetraethoxysilane, bis-(3-trialkoxy-isilylpropyl)amine, such as bis-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)amine, and furthermore 3-(meth)acryloyl-oxypropyltrialkoxy- silanes, such as 3-(meth)acryloyl-oxy-propyltrimethoxysilane and / or alkenylalkoxysilanes such as vinyltrimethoxysilane or vinyltriethoxysilane, and 3-glycidyloxypropyltrialkoxysilanes, such as 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane or 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane. Glycidylsilanes are particularly preferred.Mixtures of two or more of the silanes mentioned may also be present. One or more such silanes are preferably present in a mass fraction of 0.05 to 10%, in particular of 0.3 to 8%, advantageously of 0.5 to 5%, based on the total mass of a synthetic resin system according to the invention, or only in the epoxy component (component

[0038] (A) ) , then, based on the mass of component (A), in a mass fraction of 0.2 to 10%, in particular of 0.5 to 8%, advantageously of 1 to 5%.

The reactive diluents are preferably present in a mass fraction of 0 or 0.1 to 60%, in particular of 1 to 30%, based on the total mass of the epoxy component (a).

[0040] Further components of a synthetic resin system according to the invention can be selected from fillers, accelerators, inhibitors, thixotropic agents and other additives.

[0053] Mixtures of two or more of the compounds commonly used for epoxy curing may also be used or included.

[0054] Particularly preferred for all subject matter of the invention are diamines or polyamines with a HEQ value of up to 55. This is calculated based on the chemical structure or specified by manufacturers. Preferred examples are isophoronediamine and / or triethylenetetraamine.

[0057] Components that would otherwise react with each other in an undesirable manner, such as water and / or acids and the hydrolyzable groups of the silanes to be used according to the invention or water and cement, are to be kept separate from each other (separate compartments) in a manner known to the person skilled in the art, preferably before use in the hole or gap.

[0058] Parameters, as far as they are presented in the context of the present application, are determined by methods known to the person skilled in the art as follows:

[0059] For pull-out tests with M12 threaded rods, the following procedure is followed according to EAD 330499-02-0601:

[0060] First, drill holes (diameter 14 mm; depth 72 mm) are drilled into a horizontally lying concrete test specimen (concrete compressive strength class C20 / 25) using a hammer drill and a hammer drill with carbide cutting edges. The drill holes are cleaned using a hand blower and a hand brush. The drill holes are then filled two-thirds full, starting from the bottom of the hole, with the adhesive system to be tested. A threaded rod is inserted into each drill hole by hand. The excess mortar is removed using a spatula. After 24 hours (minimum curing time) at room temperature, the threaded rod is subjected to a centric tensile load until failure, with the applied force and displacement being continuously recorded.

[0061] Viscosity measurements are performed using a Brookfield DV3T rotational viscometer with spindle 7 at 23 °C and 10 rpm. The viscosity plateau value, which is reached after a few seconds of run-in time, is read off.

[0062] Extrusion force and gel time are determined as described in the examples.

[0063] The permissible temperature range for the cured product can also be determined by pull-out testing after treatment with different temperatures (e.g. 24 h curing at room temperature, at 50 ° C and / or at 80 ° C).

[0064] The invention particularly relates to those variants of the embodiments of the invention which are mentioned in the claims, which are to be considered as incorporated herein by reference.

[0065] Examples: The following examples serve to illustrate the invention without limiting its scope:

[0066] Example 1 and comparison (=reference~) example:

[0067] A fischer 3 : 1 cartridge contains:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] The sum of components A and B results in an identical overall composition of the synthetic resin systems compared.

[0071] It can be seen that when styrenated phenol is used in the epoxy resin component, significantly lower extrusion values ​​are found compared to when styrenated phenol is used only in the hardener component. Nevertheless, the gel times show that even when styrenated phenol is used only in the epoxy resin component, the accelerating effect on the hardener is maintained (same gel time).

[0072] The extrusion force is measured from the appropriately tempered 3 : 1 fischer cartridge with fischer static mixer FIS MR plus on a Walter & Bai universal testing machine (Walter+bai AG, Löhningen, Switzerland) at a feed rate of 40 mm / min.

[0073] The gelling time (“gel time”) is determined from a 100 g sample at 23 °C on a GELNORM® Geltimer GT-SP (Gel Instrumente AG, Oberuzwil, Switzerland).

[0074] The viscosity is determined as above. A 10 : 1 cartridge contains:

[0075]

[0076] The pull-out values ​​are determined as indicated above.
