Abstract
An investigation is described in which it was found that solubilized wool grease raised or eliminated the cloud point of a non-ionic detergent or produced a ‘double cloud point’. The effect was reversed by the addition of sodium sulphate. The grease-solubilizing capacities of non-ionic detergents were increased by the presence of sodium sulphate or suint. Of the detergents investigated, the highest capacity for solubilizing wool grease was shown by 8.5 ethoxy-nonylphenol.Keywords
