Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of light-colored, electrically conductive pigments based on substrates having an expansion of not more than 500 μm, which pigments consist of one or more metals, metal oxides or materials containing metal oxide, silicon oxide or silicate materials and contain, if desired above one or more other metal oxide and/or silicon oxide layers, an outer layer based on halogen-doped tin oxide and/or titanium oxide.
