Now, the glycerine is extracted from the kittle and a strong caustic solution is added with the soap. Then, some other additives such as abrasives and fragrance are mixed and they are poured into mold and allowed for cooling process in order to harden into a large slab.
Now the slabs are allowed for milling process, where according to the required size the slabs are cut into smaller bars and then, the bars are undergone for stamping and wrapping.
Finally, the quality control teams inspect the product to ensure its quality. This industry primarily involved in logging,. This industry primarily involved in. This industry primarily involved in broadcasting of aural programs.
Don't feel like calling? Net Book Now. By SOP Team. In: SOP. Written by SOP Team. Muler Hanita. A short summary of this paper. A soap molecule consists of a long hydrocarbon chain composed of carbons and hydrogen with a carboxylic acid on one end which is ionic bonded to metal ion usually a sodium or potassium. The saponification of the fat is done by boiling the fat with sodium hydroxide solution soda lye in a large cylindrical steel vessel known as Soap Pan or Kettle.
The lower part of the pan is 'funnel shape. This step involves the separation of soap and glycerol, a process known as 'Salting Out'. Use is made of the fact that soap is insoluble in concentrated salt solution Common Ion Effect , while glycerol is readily soluble. The soap left in the pan is dissolved in water and after boiling for a short time is ;salted out, the lye being removed after settling. Manufacture of Bar Soap. The methods developed for the purpose are continuous and hence more economical.
In this process the hydrolysis of fat is carried out with water under pressure and at elevated temperature in the presence of lime or zinc oxide as catalyst.

Soap manufacturing process. Chathura Kallegoda. A short summary of this paper. Download Download PDF. Translate PDF. Raw material requirement 4. Reactions involved in the process. Soap was also made by the Celts, ancient inhabitants of Britain. Soap was used widely throughout the Roman Empire, primarily as a medicine. Mention of soap as a cleanser does not appear until the second century A.
By the eighth century, soap was common in France, Italy, and Spain, but it was rarely used in the rest of Europe until as late as the 17th century. Manufacture of soap began in England around the end of the 12th century. Soap-makers had to pay a heavy tax on all the soap they produced. The tax collector locked the lids on soap boiling pans every night to prevent illegal soap manufacture after hours. Because of the high tax, soap was a luxury item, and it did not come into common use in England until after the tax was repealed in In the 19th century, soap was affordable and popular throughout Europe.
Early soap manufacturers simply boiled a solution of wood ash and animal fat. A foam substance formed at the top of the pot. When cooled, it hardened into soap. Around , French soap maker Nicolas Leblanc developed a method of extracting caustic soda sodium hydroxide from common table salt sodium chloride , replacing the wood ash element of soap. The French chemist Eugene- Michel Chevreul put the soap-forming process called in English saponification into concrete chemical terms in In saponification, the animal fat, which is chemically neutral, splits into fatty acids, which react with alkali carbonates to form soap, leaving glycerin as a byproduct.
Soap was made with industrial processes by the end of the 19th century, though people in rural areas, such as the pioneers in the western United States, continued to make soap at home.
People use soap to make their skin clean. Dirt and other impurities are easily removed from the skin whenever one uses soap. Ingredients present in soap are strong; this is why eliminating dirt becomes easier with the use of soap. Soap can be used for general situations such as bathing, cleaning and washing.
On top of that, soap is a key component in most lubricants. There are two different categories of soap including bar and liquid soap. Bar soap is recommended over liquid soap because they are less expensive and their ingredients are stronger for cleaning than those of liquid soap.
Central bank report, annual company reports and research reports are the main sources to predicate about demand and supply for soap in Sri Lanka. In soap industry price is a main factor which changes the demand. Item Unit Average whole sale prices Washing soap bar Source; central bank report table 45 Then the average whole sale price of a washing soap bar is increased as following table Item Average whole sale price of a bar Washing soap This price increasing will directly effect on demand of the product.
When the last 5 years total beauty soap segment of the toilet soap market is analyzed it reflects various fluctuations occurred in the beauty soap market. It is interesting that a globally well accepted brand Lux which is positioned as a beauty soap brand for long years is losing its market share in the Sri Lankan context. While it is losing its share in the market from the usage some beauty soap brands have been able to increase their share in the market.
The following graph shows how the different brands have performed in the Sri Lankan beauty soap market segment, which has been derived from the LMRB data. But the brand Lifebuoy will also be considered in this study as it owns a substantially large market share in the toilet soap market, which also could be impacted on the market shares of other beauty soap brands though the Lifebuoy is not positioned as a beauty soap brand.
The effect of demographic factors can be seen in different sectors of industry. As the population of a nation grows old, the demand for cosmetic products with softer colors, milder formulations, and the treatments for aging skin increases. New cosmetic products are being produced to satisfy demand for these products. As the consumers become better educated and informed, there is a fast growing market for scientifically based soap and detergent products. But the whole sale price of a soap bar is increased according to the central bank report Also the demand for Sri Lankan soap which are used indigenous raw materials had increased.
Then we can predict that the demand for the soap manufacturing will be the same as past. Raw Materials Soap requires two major raw materials: fat and alkali. The alkali most commonly used today is sodium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide can also be used. Potassium-based soap creates a more water-soluble product than sodium-based soap, and so it is called "soft soap.
Animal fat in the past was obtained directly from a slaughterhouse. Modern soap makers use fat that has been processed into fatty acids. This eliminates many impurities, and it produces as a byproduct water instead of glycerin. Many vegetable fats, including olive oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil, are also used in soap making. Additives are used to enhance the color, texture, and scent of soap.
Fragrances and perfumes are added to the soap mixture 1. Source of Glycerides: The main sources of slow lathering hard oils are tallow, palm oil, whale oil, fish oil and greases, etc. Quick lathering hard oils include coconut oil, palm oil and kernel oil, etc.
Soft oils are soya bean oil, cotton seed oil and inedible olive oil, etc. Rosin: A plant product contains mainly abietic acid. The colorless variety of Rosin is used in the manufacture of laundry soaps and dark variety is used in the manufacture of colored soaps. Rosin makes lather formation faster, increases the cleaning property of the soap and softens the hard soaps. Caustic Soda: It is available in the form of flakes, blocks and sticks as well as in solution of sodium hydroxide in various concentrations.
The caustic product potash is involved in the manufacture of saving creams. Sodium Chloride: Sodium Chloride is used for salting out about They improve the soap texture and prevent the formation of precipitate in hard water.
Fillers: The weight of the Soap is determined by fillers such as talc, starch, glauber salt, pearl ash, etc. Colouring Matter: Organic dyes and inorganic pigments are used.
As a Dye the material should be inert to alkali used in making soap and should not separate when soap is blended in the process. Common coloring matters are methyl violet, Bismarck brown, safframine for red, zinc oxide for white color, chrome green for green color, cadmium for yellow color, ultra marine for blue color, eosin for pink color, vermilon for rose shade.
