AbstractThis paper describes the swelling of cotton fiber in cadoxen containing 4.6 cadmium (w/w) and 30 ethylenediamine (w/w). A special neutral salt technique is described involving the analysis of extract as well as mother liquor which enables the determination of mechanically held liquor and hence the values of true absorption. The percentage true weight swelling values are much lower than the percentage apparent weight swelling as measured by centrifuge technique. The effect of variation in material‐to‐liquor ratio on the true absorption of cadmium and ethylenediamine is also investiga
