Materials for Manufacture of Handmade Soap
The basic raw materials for the manufacture of
soap are I) Tallow is the principal fatty material in soap making.
Other than tallow any vegetable oil, e.g.: cotton seed oil,
linseed oil and palm oil may also be used. II) Caustic soda (NaOH)
or Caustic Potash (KOH). Soap products these days are produced
almost exclusively from tallow (beef) fat and coconut oil or their
fatty acid derivatives. The utilization of palm oils, palm kernel
oil, and their derivatives for soap manufacture is more usually
practiced in many other parts of the world, particularly in Asia.
More recent trends in lauric oil pricing
have driven the purchase and use of palm kernel oil and
palm kernel olein as cost-effective alternatives to coconut oil
in the West. The common substitution of coconut oil with
palm kernel oil is done mainly for cost optimization of soap-manufacturing
feedstock. Among other triglycerides, cottonseed oil, rice bran
oil, castor oil, sunflower seed oil, fish oil, and olive
oil have also been used as original feedstocks in many developing
nations. The utilization of palm stearin, the by-product
of palm oil fractionation, is increasing in use as a substitute
for tallow outside of tallow-producing markets. Depressed pricing
in 2000 and the recent fears of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
(BSE) or Mad Cow disease have driven this use trend in Europe.
3 Manufacture of Soap (Saponification)
Most of the soaps now days are made commercially
in large units called "Kettles". Fat of animals or tallow
is positioned at the bottom of the large tank and alkali (NaOH)
is added.
