The paper describes variations in the interfacial activity of aqueous solutions of anionic wetting agents which occur on addition of natural fleece. The results are compared with those already described for cationic wetting agents. The influence of concentration, chain length and positive ion of the anionic compound, and time of immersion of the fleece, has been studied. Differences between anionic and cationic systems can be attributed mainly to the greater solubility of the long‐chain complex C+A‐ formed by reaction between the soluble constituents of suint and the wetting agent.
