Summary Viscosity measurements at 20°C. have been made on mixtures of three potassium soaps with four potassium silicates and potassium chloride in the range of 0 to 100 poises. It was found that the additives have a considerable effect on the viscosity of the potassium linseed oil and the soya bean oil soap solutions, but almost no effect on the viscosities of potassium coconut oil soap solutions in the concentration ranges studied. The alkaline silicates caused greater increases in viscosities than the siliceous silicates. Soap‐KC1 mixtures have viscosities of the same order of magnitude as equivalent soap‐silicate mixtures in this viscosity range.
