Abstract: A preparation comprising at least one silicone, at least one PEG/PPG dimethicone with 15 to 20 units of PEG and PPG respectively as an emulsifier, a lipid phase, water in a proportion of 0.1 to 5% with respect to the total weight of the composition and at least one particulate ingredient.

Abstract: A process for the production of pigment-bearing and/or effect substance-bearing leads, comprising the following steps: a) pigments and/or effect substances are at least partially mixed with a fluid wetting agent so that a kneadable material is produced, b) further ingredients and optionally remaining pigments and/or effect substances are added and the resulting material optionally homogenised, c) the material obtained in b) is extruded to afford extrusions of predetermined diameter, and d) the extruded portions are dried to a constant weight optionally after adjustment of the extrusion length.

Abstract: A process for the production of leads which contain pigments and/or effect substances, wherein pigments and/or effect substances are mixed with fillers and further lead ingredients, the resulting material is homogenised and then extruded to provide extrusions of predetermined diameter, wherein then the extruded portions are dried optionally after adjustment of the extrusion length to a constant weight, wherein at least a proportion of the pigment and/or effect material is brought into contact with a polysaccharide solution and an aqueous solution of a precipitation agent prior to admixing of the further ingredients, the mixture is dried and then optionally ground.

Abstract: A method for increasing the tensile, breaking and flexural strength of coloured leads. The method is characterized in that 1 to 50 percent by weight alkyl and/or hydroxyalkyl cellulose which are soluble in organic solvents and whose alkyl radicals can be straight-chained or branched are added to the lead substance. The invention also relates to coloured pencils containing said coloured leads.
