Bro, we are waiting ooooooo

Hello everyone. I want to start by Saying happy salah to all our Muslim brothers and sisters.
You will agree with me that soaps are part of us that we can not do without.
Anyway, we would start with d production of liquid soaps
please stay tuned

Ok

Hello. Sorry for d break in transmission. I was ill but am back, i wanted to start with liquid soap but decided not to because i can see dat some1 else has bn doing dat. U can check Mr Strongbest thread he is doing a great job, i am going to start with bar/laundry soap. Ps stay tuned

Materials needed are
.. A mixing bowl or drum
.. Small buckets
.. Mould
.. Hand gloves
.. Wooden paddle.
.. Nylon sheets
,, nose mask
.. Hydrometer.
.. Strong soap cutter

Chemicals needed
Palm kernel oil
.. Caustic soda
.. Soda ash
.. Sodium sulphate
.. Calcium carbonate
.. Colour
.. Perfume

Continue...

The next step is to prepare d chemicals.
A. Caustic soda solution
dissolve caustic soda in water in ratio 1:2 i.e. 1kg in 2litres of water in a container. Leave the solution for about a day for proper fermentation. Then gauge the solution with d hydrometer. The reading should be 1250-1275

B. Soda Ash.
Soak soda ash in water in ratio 1:2 and gauge at 1200-1225, leave solution for at least a day like d caustic soda

C. Sodium sulphate.
Soak in water and gauge at 1275
now in dis case u don't need to ferment as u can use d solution immediately.
Stay tuned

Formutation.
PKO ...... 1litre
caustic soda solution .... 0.5 litres
soda ash solution ..... 0.4 litres
sodium sulphate solution 0.2 litres
calcium carbonate ...... 1/4kg
perfume ....... To taste
colour ....... To taste

process or step

pour ur PKO (palm kernel oil) in ur mixing bowl or drum.
Add ur caustic soda solution and stir the mixture, u would notice an emulsion forming, just continue to stir.
Next is to add ur soda ash, sodium sulphate, calcium carbonate, perfume and colour. U should not waste much time when adding the chemicals.
With d solution still in liquid form, pour it into ur mould and leave for like 8 hours for it to solidly, don't dry under d sun.
NOTE: u should place nylon sheets in ur mould so that it would b easy for u to remove d soap from d mould.

When ur soap is strong enough, take it out ur soap cut in to shapes

Cheers. U can ask ur questions

Hi sir, thanks for the info, sir, in ur i for 2 adding of chemical and water stuff. The formulation is less 0.5 and less, are u saying we discard the remain stuff becos 1for2 ingredient is more than what u eventual use to make d soap

hello . Sorry for d late response.
Ps am not saying that. I just used a little amount for d purpose of illustration. U can still use the remaining solution. U can store them in containers. Ps use glass bottles for caustic soda solution.

Thank you sir for the information. Can you tell us about the mould? How can this mould be prepared? What is it made of? Etc. Your response will be really appreciated sir. Thank you.

@ op thanks, what is our next topic? We eagerly waiting sir.

kenlite: Thank you sir for the information. Can you tell us about the mould? How can this mould be prepared? What is it made of? Etc. Your response will be really appreciated sir. Thank you.

hello, for d mounds, u can u wood or metal sheets. Dot use aluminum because it can cause a chemical reaction with ur soap n spoil it,
NOTE... U should put nylon sheets in ur mould b4 u pour d soap in it so as to make it easy to remove d soap wen it is solidified

Juliana7: @ op thanks, what is our next topic? We eagerly waiting sir.

bathing soap

thanks for the info. pls Sir, calcium carbonate is in powder form, do we need to dissolve it in water before mixing or do we pour straight into the mixture? thanks
