Abstract
Abstract Acid-resistant mortar compositions and selected products bonded therewith are provided wherein the mortar composition comprises a major portion of a cellular boro silicate glass powder, a silica sol, and a setting or hardening agent. Mortars of the invention are especially useful in bonding cellular glass bodies having a composition substantially identical to the boro silicate glass powder and low alkali metal ion content to provide bonded product arrays having excellent thermal shock characteristics. Additional selected aggregate fillers may be included in the mortar compositions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
An acid-resistant mortar composition for bonding cellular glass bodies comprising more than 50 percent by weight of a finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder, said cellular glass powder having substantially the same composition as said cellular glass bodies, between about 35 and 40 percent by weight of a silica sol binder, between about 1 and 3 percent by weight of a hardening agent selected from the group consisting of slowly hydrolyzable acidic and alkaline materials, and a granular siliceous filler in the amount of about 30- 100 parts by weight based upon the combined weights of said finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder and said silica sol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
An acid-resistant mortar composition for bonding cellular glass bodies comprising more than 50 percent by weight of a finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder, said cellular glass powder having substantially the same composition as said cellular glass bodies, between about 35 and 40 percent by weight of a silica sol binder, between about 1 and 3 percent by weight of a hardening agent selected from the group consisting of slowly hydrolyzable acidic and alkaline materials, and a granular siliceous filler in the amount of about 30- 100 parts by weight based upon the combined weights of said finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder and said silica sol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The acid-resistant mortar compositions as set forth in claim 1 wherein said finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder comprises from about 55-60 percent by weight of said mortar compositions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein said silica sol binder comprises from about 40 percent by weight of said mortar composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein said finely ground boro silicate cellular glass powder has a particle size whereby greater than about fifty percent by weight of said powder particles pass through a U.S. Standard No. 200 Screen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein said hardening agent consists essentially of aluminum phosphate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein said granular siliceous filler has relatively coarse particle characteristics when compared to those of said finely ground cellular glass powder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 6 wherein said granular siliceous filler consists essentially of silica sand.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein said cellular boro silicate glass composition comprises about 75-80 percent by weight silica, about 7-20 B 2 O 3 , and about 2-10 percent by weight fluxes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
43 words
The acid-resistant mortar composition as set forth in claim 8 wherein said cellular boro silicate glass composition comprises about 79.2 percent by weight SiO 2 , about 18.4 percent B 2 O 3 , and about 2.4 percent by weight K 2 O.
