Abstract

Use of a mixture of at least one alkanolamide of general formula (I), wherein R is a hydrocarbon group having 7-23 carbon atoms, preferably 11-23 carbons atoms, A is an alkyleneoxy group having 2-4 carbon atoms and n is 2-12, preferably 2-8, and at least one alkoxylated alcohol in a weight ratio between the alkoxylated alkanolamide and the alkoxylated alcohol from 10:1 to 1:10, preferably in the range from 5:1 to 1:5 for producing a water-base liquid system with reduced flow resistance between the flowing, water-base liquid system and a solid surface.
