Abstract

Efflorescence phenomena on mineral substrates are prevented by coating the surface of the mineral substrates with aqueous polyacrylate dispersions and drying the coating, if necessary at elevated temperatures, by a process in which a mixture of PA1 (A) a dispersion of a copolymer of PA2 (a) (meth)acrylates of alkanols which are of 3 to 20 carbon atoms and have a tertiary CH group, PA2 (b) styrene, .alpha.-methylstyrene, methyl methacrylate, tert-butyl (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylonitrile and PA2 (c) mono- and/or dicarboxylic acids of 3 to 5 carbon atoms and/or or their amides which may be substituted at the N atom by alkyl, and PA1 (B) an aromatic ketone is used for the coating, and the coating is exposed to ultraviolet light.
