Solid pigment preparations comprising as essential constituents (A) from 60% to <90% by weight of at least one pigment, (B) >10% to 40% by weight of at least one anionic surface-active additive based on acid phosphoric, phosphonic, sulfuric and/or sulfonic esters of polyalkylene oxides or of reaction products of alkylene oxides with aliphatic alcohols, with phenol or naphthol, which may each be alkyl substituted if desired, with aliphatic or aromatic amines or with aliphatic carboxylic acids or carboxamides or on salts thereof, the fraction of the phosphorus-containing additive in a mixture of phosphorus- and sulfur-containing additives being not less than 50% by weight, and (C) from 0% to <30% by weight of at least one nonionic surface-active additive based on polyethers, with the proviso that component (B) is a phosphoric and/or phosphonic ester when the fraction of component (C) is 0% by weight, are made and used for pigmenting macromolecular organic and inorganic materials.
