Laundry Soap Noodle TFM 50% Min (90:10)

Brief Overview

Soap noodles are created through the saponification process, a method that combines vegetable oils such as palm, coconut, and olive, along with animal fats like tallow, using sodium hydroxide. Among the earliest soap varieties, soap noodles prove highly efficient in soap manufacturing, particularly in the adjustment of flavors, colors, and other elements. To achieve diverse soap products, additional techniques like pressing, stamping, and molding are often employed on the final product.

Manufacturing Process

In the main soap production method known as direct saponification, triglyceride molecules combine with sodium hydroxide. Hydrolysis converts fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids, which are then neutralized by sodium hydroxide. Methyl esters are generated through the trans-esterification of methanol and oil or fat. Soap is produced by saponifying these methyl esters with sodium hydroxide, and methanol is a byproduct of the process.

Detergent Industry

To form a thin soap layer, the mixture is processed through a worm screw or rollers. High pressure, along with stirring along the screw's length, extrudes multiple soap layers through a perforated endplate. Creating numerous soap layers involves crushing the homogenized soap with a large worm screw extruder, often called a plodder.

Various soap noodles determine the range of soaps produced, including laundry, toilet, medicinal, and high-lather soap.
