Method for accelerating the cross-linking process in pants

A coating material formulation comprising

• (A) 0.001%-15% by weight of a mixture comprising as component a1 at least one surfactant and as component a2 at least one compound corresponding to general formula (I)
• R1—O—(CH2—CHR2—O)n—(CH2—CH2—O)m—R3 (I)
• in which
• R1 is optionally substituted phenyl, C4-C14 alkyl,
• R2 is C1-C8 alkyl,
• R3 is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, benzoyl, acetyl, acryloyl or methacryloyl,
• n has an average value of 0 to 10,
• m has an average value of 1 to 10, where n+m≦10 and m>n, and the alkylene oxide structural units, which are optionally different, can be distributed randomly or arranged in blocks,
• wherein the ratio of component a1 to component a2 is 1:4 to 20:1,
• (B) 1%-95% by weight of film-forming binders and resins,
• (C) 0%-80% by weight of fillers,
• (D) 0%-40% by weight of pigments,
• (E) 0%-20% by weight of additives, and
• (F) 0%-90% by weight of organic solvents and/or water,
• the sum of the weight percentages of components (A) to (F) being 100% by weight,
• wherein the mixture (A) at a concentration of 0.2 g/l in water at 23° C. leads to a reduction in the contact angle on steel in comparison to pure water after 1 s by at least 15°, and the mixture in the CNOMO (prEN 14371:2004, 0.1 g/l, 25° C., measurement in water) possesses a foamability of less than 1200 ml during pumped circulation.
