Abstract

A fastening composition for attaching two articles, comprising a mixture of an aerobic adhesive and a hydrophilic substance. A process for fixing an article to a substrate, includes the steps of initially preparing a fastening composition by mixing together a hydrophilic substance and an aerobic adhesive; applying a layer of the fastening composition to the article; and subsequently fixing the article to the substrate by pressing the layer of the fastening composition against the substrate. The aerobic adhesive in this layer hardens because of the moisture contained in the hydrophilic substance.

Claims (17)

1. A mounting set to produce a fastening composition for attaching two articles, wherein the mounting set comprises two receptacles storing an aerobic adhesive and a hydrophilic substance, respectively, wherein the aerobic adhesive and the hydrophilic substance are removable from the two receptacles to mix together to form the fastening composition, and wherein the hydrophilic substance comprises a hydrophilic carrier fiber including non-dried cotton.

2. The mounting set according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic substance includes a measured quantity of moisture.

3. The mounting set according to claim 1 , wherein the aerobic adhesive comprises modified silane (MS) polymers.

4. The mounting set according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening composition has properties that are pre-determinable by a specified mixing ratio of the aerobic adhesive to the hydrophilic substance.

5. The mounting set according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening composition has a breaking point that is pre-determinable by a specified mixing ratio of the aerobic adhesive to the hydrophilic substance.

6. The mounting set according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a basic adhesive force and a hardening speed is pre-determinable with the aid of a specified mixing ratio of the aerobic adhesive to the hydrophilic substance.

7. A process for fixing an article to a substrate with a mounting set comprising two receptacles storing an aerobic adhesive and a hydrophilic substance, respectively, wherein the aerobic adhesive and the hydrophilic substance are removable from the two receptacles to mix together to form the fastening composition, the process comprising the following steps:

initially preparing the fastening composition-by mixing together the hydrophilic substance and the aerobic adhesive;

applying a layer of the fastening composition to the article;

subsequently fixing the article to the substrate by pressing the layer of the fastening composition against the substrate, wherein the aerobic adhesive in this layer hardens because of the moisture contained in the hydrophilic substance, wherein the hydrophilic substance comprises a hydrophilic carrier fiber including non-dried cotton.

8. The process according to claim 7 , further comprising the step of adding a measured quantity of moisture to the hydrophilic substance before the hydrophilic substance is mixed with the aerobic adhesive.

9. The process according to claim 7 , wherein the article comprises a mechanical fastening device.

10. The process according to claim 7 , wherein the substrate comprises a wall and the article comprises a fastening element to which a piece of equipment can be attached.

11. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the wall includes a wall covering of tiles, ceramic tiles, stone slabs or marble slabs to which the fastening element is attached.

12. The process according to claim 11 , wherein the piece of equipment is attached to the fastening element after the layer of the fastening composition between the wall and the fastening element has hardened.

13. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the piece of equipment comprises one of a light fixture, a piece of furniture or a sanitary equipment item.

14. The process according to claim 9 , wherein the mechanical fastening device comprises one of a pipe clip or an adaptor.
