From a practical standpoint, however, these substances cannot be employed, since their tanning action is only effective in acid solutions of such concentration of acid as would gelatinise the pelt.3 If, on the other hand, non-condensed methane derivatives of phenol, _e.g._, hydroxyphenylmethanesulphonic acid, are partly neutralised and a solution of the product thus obtained used for tanning experiments, no tanning action is observable.

But in addition to hydrochloric acid, such a solution contains chloride of sodium, a salt which causes the silica to gelatinise when the solution is heated, and otherwise modifies its properties.

The keratins are gradually loosened by prolonged soaking in water, and, by continued boiling in a Papin's digester, are dissolved to an extract which does not gelatinise on cooling.

Celluloses, and also lignocelluloses, when treated with such a solution, gradually gelatinise and finally dissolve.

The temperature of fusion is raised by the addition of formaldehyde, salts of chromium, alumina and ferric salts, which produce a tanning effect, and in a less degree by sulphates, tartrates, acetates, some other salts, and diminished by iodides, bromides, chlorides and nitrates.[29] Solutions of gelatin too weak or too warm to gelatinise possess considerable viscosity.
