Abstract: The invention relates to a pigment granulate which contains 40 to 65% by weight of pigment and at least 10% by weight of a compound of general formula (I) CH3—(CH2)n—CH2—O—[(CH2)p—O]m—H, wherein n=8-18, p=1-4 and m=35-100, the weight ratio of the compound of general formula I to the pigment being ? the STSA surface area of the pigment in m2/g multiplied by 0.0021 g/m2 and the mass-weighted particle size of the pigment granulate being <20 ?m. The pigment granulate can be produced by dispersing the pigment and the compound of formula I in a solvent and then drying the dispersion obtained. The pigments according to the invention can be used for dying and/or the antistatic finishing in water-based paints and lacquer systems, dispersion on paints, printing inks, ink systems and coating systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to innovative antifouling additives, to a process for producing them, to coating systems comprising the antifouling systems of the invention, to a process for producing the coating systems, and to the use of the antifouling additives and coating systems of the invention for preventing the underwater fouling of surfaces of objects which are in contact or come into contact with water.
