Abstract: The invention relates to a flowability improving agent comprising a combination, calculated on a dry product, of: A) 60-99% by weight of a sulphonated melamine-formaldehyde resin, a sulphonated melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin or a sulphonated naphthalene-formaldehyde resin; C) 0.5-40% by weight of a boron containing polyhydroxycarboxylic acid or a water-soluble salt of such an acid and optionally D) 0.5-30% by weight of a compound with formulaAr O--(R.sub.1).sub.n --R.sub.2where Ar is unsubstituted or substituted benzene moiety or naphthalene moiety, R.sub.1 is an oxyethylene group; --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O--or an oxypropylene group; ##STR1## an oxyethylene chain or an oxypropylene chain with up to fifteen oxyethylene groups or oxypropylene groups or a combination of oxyethylene groups and oxypropylene groups to a chain where the sum of these groups is at most fifteen; the mean value n for n is 1-15 and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a phosphonate group with the formula ##STR2## where M.sub.1 and M.sub.
