Absorptive substrates, such as asbestos cement, concrete plaster work, can be impregnated to lock the pores and to consolidate the substrate, especially old and weathered plaster work, with aqueous plastics dispersions, if dispersions are used which have an average particle size of about 0.02 to at most 0.1.mu.m, and preferably from 0.036 to 0.080.mu.m. As opposed to conventional dispersions with larger particle sizes, the penetration of dispersions according to the invention reaches the same values as that of the solvent-based impregnating and priming compositions hitherto used. Aqueous dispersions are easier to handle and permit relatively high solids contents at a moderate viscosity.

Impregnation and primer coating of absorptive substrates with plastics

The sound absorbing properties of plasters, based on synthetic resin emulsions as binders, are improved, if as binder dispersions are used the polymer content of which has a dilatometrically determined second order transition temperature of between -20.degree. C and +10.degree. C, and if the fillers consist of at least 70% of material having a grain-size of from 0.35 to 1.5 mm.
