Fluoride transport rates out of sodium fluoride solutions containing hydrophilic colloids were studied as a function of the concentration and type of colloid. Under certain conditions, anionic and nonionic polymers increased the rate of fluoride transport out of the solution even though the viscosity increased concomitantly.
