Abstract: The water-repellent mixture comprises i) a halogenated dispersant chosen from the group constituted by a totally halogenated molecule and a partially halogenated molecule with at least one atom of hydrogen and ii) a copolymeric silicone having a hydrophilic function, for drying solids by the movement of water, the copolymeric silicone preferably being a polyalkylineoxide modified polydimethylsiloxane of formula: with 0≦m≦100, 4≦n≦50 and R being a radical chosen from the group of radicals constituted by a hydrogen atom, an alcohol group, an amine group and a polyalkyl group containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
