Abstract: A method is described for manufacturing a finish formulation for the hydrophobic and/or oleophobic finishing of surfaces, comprising a dispersant incorporating dispersed, activated particles with hydrophobic and/or oleophobic surface groups and a binder, in which particles with hydrophobic and/or oleophobic surface groups are comminuted in the dispersant for activation, and the binder is added before or after activation. The obtained finish formulation clearly improves the physical properties of a transparent finish while maintaining very good hydrophobing/oleophobing. It is suitable for finishing all surfaces, in particular for finishing fibers or textiles of all kinds.
