The erosion of agglomerates in viscous flows---a process proportional to surface area of the agglomerate---is analyzed by means of fragmentation theory. An analytical solution is obtained; this solution cannot be described by the usual scaling ansatz, nor does it have an asymptotic form. Fitting to available data is discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
