Abstract: Process for coloring and toning water-diluted coating agents with pigment pastes. At least one film pack which is made of water-soluble films, sealed on all sides and filled with a pigment paste is immersed in the water-diluted coating agent, and after dissolution of the pack, the paste is uniformly dispersed. The pigment paste comprises:I. inorganic and/or organic pigments and/or;II. extenders and/or fillers, components I and II being dispersed in components III and IV;III. 10-80% by weight of the sum of the amounts by weight of components I and II of monohydric primary, secondary or tertiary aliphatic straight-chain or branched alkanols with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylene glycols, alkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, alicyclic alcohols, araliphatic alcohols or unsaturated alcohols; andIV.

Abstract: Elastomeric coatings capable of reverting to their initial dimensions for the permanent bridging of joints and cracks in facades, walls and ceilings of old and new constructions, industrial floors, constructions at subgrade level, using coating materials which are deposited and dried employing coating apparatus known per se by painting, plastering, caulking or spraying or rolling. The coating materials are prepared from aqueous emulsions and/or aqueous dispersions and/or solutions of film forming binders in organic solvents possibly containing water, possibly also containing pigments, extenders, fillers, softeners, admixtures and additives and furthermore contain a fine-particle, elastomeric powder dispersed through the coating materials which dry into elastomeric films.
