2. Saponification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

   Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali. Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis. When the carboxylate is long chain, its salt is called a soap. The saponification of ethyl acetate gives sodium acetate ...

3. Melt and pour - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melt_and_pour

   Melt and pour. Melt and Pour soap crafting is a process often used by soapmakers, [1] both for large scale (commercial) and small scale (domestic, artisanal) manufacture. Small scale artisan soap makers find "melt and pour" production useful when trying out new product lines. The process differs from the cold process or hot process in utilising ...

4. Soap - Wikipedia

   Soap is a salt of a fatty acid used in a variety of cleansing and lubricating products. [1] In a domestic setting, soaps are surfactants usually used for washing, bathing, and other types of housekeeping. In industrial settings, soaps are used as thickeners, components of some lubricants, and precursors to catalysts .

5. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

   Physical properties. Pure sodium hydroxide is a colorless crystalline solid that melts at 318 °C (604 °F) without decomposition and boils at 1,388 °C (2,530 °F). It is highly soluble in water, with a lower solubility in polar solvents such as ethanol and methanol. [14] Sodium hydroxide is insoluble in ether and other non-polar solvents.

6. Lye - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

   A lye is an alkali metal hydroxide. Traditionally it was obtained by using rainwater to leach wood ashes, which are strongly alkaline and highly soluble in water, of their potassium hydroxide (KOH), producing lye water, a caustic basic solution. Then the lye water would either be used as such, as for curing olives before brining them, or ...

7. Glycerin soap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerin_soap

   Glycerin soap can also be produced without remelting soap through directly cooking raw home-made soap. Modern clear glycerin soaps bases are produced by combining various glycerol and polyols with soap and other surfactants in a manner similar to traditional glycerin soap-making methods. These modern clear soaps have the benefit of being easily ...
