✦ Synopsis

The viscosity of salicylic acid--cetrimide systems was altered in the presence of sodium salts. The viscosity variation was associated with the degree of salicylic acid saturation of the surfactant solution and apparcntl} not with the pH o l t h e system. The increase in viscosity was probably due to formation of sodium salicylatc by a reaction of the bodium additive with the acid and the interaction of this salicylate with the free cetrimide molecules in the system. The decrease in viscosity was attributed to the nonavailability of these surfactant moleculcs.
