The invention discloses a process for preparing granulated product from a powder composition comprising the mixed components (a) and (b) and (c) or (d) or both, with (a), a copolymer consisting of free-radical-polymerized C1- to C4-esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid and alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers with tertiary amino groups in the alkyl side groups (b) 5 to 25% by weight, based on (a), of a C12- to C18-monocarboxylic acid or a C12- to C18-alcohol, (c) 0 to 10% by weight based on (a) of a dicarboxylic acid having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, (d) 0 to 20% by weight, based on (a), of an emulsifier having an HLB of at least 14, wherein the mixed components are processed by a dry granulation process to a granulate with a mean particle size of 2 mm or less.
