Abstract: Mono aryl ethers of glycerine or glycol are mixed with aliphatic, aromatic or hydro-aromatic carboxylic or sulphonic acids or the salts or substitution products thereof to form preparations soluble in water and utilizable as wetting agents in the textile, leather or dyeing industries, as soaps, fat-splitting agents, adjuvants to bowking solutions, or as emulsifying agents. Suitable ethers are commercial mono-tolyl-glycerine or glycol ether, commercial mone xylenyl glycerine ether.  Suitable added substances are soaps, fats, fatty oils, fatty acids, salicylic acid, sulphonated oils, naphthalene and other aromatic sulphonic acids and their salts, for example, the sodium salts of benzyl-aniline sulphonic acid, benzyl-p-amido-benzyl-aniline sulphonic acid, benzyl anthranilic acid.  Substances which may be emulsified include hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, higher alcohols, phenols, fats, oils, terpenes, hydrogenated terpenes, essential oils, tar oils, tar, pitch, asphalt, but not cellulose ethers.  The emulsions prepared may be used in the textile and leather industries, as disinfectants, insecticides, perfumes, cosmetics.  Examples of the invention are as follows:--  Wetting agents.--(1) 2 parts of mono-tolyl-glycerine ether melted with 1 part of the potassium soap of coconut fat fatty acid; used in 1 per cent aqueous solution for wetting raw cotton; (2) equal parts of mono-tolyl-glycol ether and oleine, saponified with aqueous potassium hydroxide; (3) a 2 per cent (by volume) solution of 1 part of potassium rincinoleate, 1 part of Turkey-red oil and 2 parts of mono-tolyl-glycol ether; (4) Turkey-red oil mixed with an equal quantity, or (5) with 10 per cent of mono-xylenyl glycerine ether; the above are characterized by retaining their wetting qualities on keeping.  (6) 60 parts of sodium tetrahydronaphthalene sulphonate and 40 parts of mono-o-tolyl glycerine ether--this and similar preparations containing aromatic or hydro-aromatic acids have wetting properties even in acid solution.  Detergents; emulsions.--80 parts of Turkey-red oil are mixed with 20 parts of mono-tolyl-glycerine ether and 100 parts of tetrahydronaphthalene; the latter may be replaced by aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, terpenes, essential oils.  Soaps.--Hard ground soap is mixed with 10 per cent of xylenyl-glycerine ether in a mixing machine.  The ether is stated to have disinfecting properties. Decomposing fats.--Fats are split by heating for some hours with 1 per cent of a mixture of equal parts of dibutyl naphthalene sulphonic acid and mono-xylyl glycerine ether.  Specifications 18761/10, [Class 1 (i), Chemical processes &c.], and 340,294 are referred to.ALSO:Mono aryl ethers of glycerine or glycol are mixed with aliphatic, aromatic or hydro aromatic carboxylic or sulphonic acids or the salts or substitution products thereof to form preparations soluble in water and utilizable as wetting agents in the textile or dyeing industries, e.g. as additions to dye baths, printing pastes or bowking solutions. Suitable ethers are commercial mono-tolyl-glycerine or glycol ether, commercial mono xylenyl glycerine ether.  Suitable added substances are soaps, fats, fatty oils, fatty acids, salicylic acid, sulphonated oils, naphthalene and other aromatic sulphonic acids and their salts, for example the sodium salts of benzyl-aniline sulphonic acid, benzyl-p-amido-benzyl-aniline sulphonic acid, benzyl anthranilic acid.
