A survey has been made of the physical properties of Scotch Blackface fleeces from sheep of ages ranging from one to five years. These properties include grease and suint contents, pH, surface area and inactivation of cationic wetting agents. Surface area and grease and suint contents are found to be important properties determining the extent of inactivation, and by a combination of these the inactivation isotherms can be closely correlated.
