Abstract: Presented and described is a granulate for producing a coating agent, in particular a dispersion paint, wherein the granulate contains, in each case based on the total weight of the granulate, a) 2 to 60 wt. % binder, b) 5 to 85 wt. % pigment and/or filler and c) 1 to 15 wt. % additives. By adding water, it is possible to produce a coating agent, in particular a dispersion paint, using the granulate. The addition of water to the granulate and the production of coating agent, in particular the dispersion paint, preferably take place directly in the container in which the granulate is stored.

Abstract: What is presented and described is a method for avoiding the microbial attack of a cleaning apparatus (X2), in particular a cleaning apparatus (X2) for a metering system, wherein the cleaning apparatus (X2) has at least one mechanical cleaning element (X29) with at least one cleaning surface (X31), wherein the method is characterized in that the at least one cleaning surface (X31) of the at least one mechanical cleaning element (X29) is exposed, at least temporarily, to an oxidizing agent. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning a metering system, in particular for a dispersion, especially a paint-metering system, to a cleaning apparatus, and to a metering system.

Abstract: Shown and described here is a process for preserving a dispersion in a metering apparatus, wherein the dispersion is stored in a container (1, 101, 201) which is part of the metering apparatus, wherein an oxidant is introduced into the container (1, 101, 201). Also described are a metering apparatus configured for this process and a use of an oxidant for preserving dispersions.

Abstract: Presented and described is a dispersion paint containing, in each case based on the total weight of the dispersion paint, a) 1% to 15% by weight of pigment, b) 30% to 60% by weight of filler, c) 1% to 25% by weight of polymer, d) 0.1% to 3.5% by weight of alkali metal alkyl siliconate, e) 25% to 70% by weight of water, wherein the pH of the dispersion paint is from 10 to 12. Also described is a process for producing the dispersion paint. The dispersion paint is suitable for use in interior and/or exterior applications.
