Soap Noodles TFM 78 - 81%

Brief Overview

The process of producing soap noodles is called saponification, which involves combining vegetable oils, including palm, coconut, and olive, with animal fats, like tallow, by using sodium hydroxide. Soap noodles are one of the oldest known forms of soap. They are really effective in soap production, especially when it comes to modifying flavors, colors, and other components. Additional methods, like pressing, stamping, and molding, are commonly applied to the finished product to obtain various soap products.

Manufacturing Process

Triglyceride molecules combine with sodium hydroxide in a process known as direct saponification, which is the main method used to manufacture soap. Hydrolysis is a process that converts fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then neutralized by sodium hydroxide. Methyl esters are created when methanol and oil or fat go through trans-esterification. Methanol is created as a byproduct of saponifying these methyl esters with sodium hydroxide to make soap.

Detergent Industry

To create a thin layer of soap, the mixture is run via worm screw or rollers. A perforated endplate allows many layers of soap to be extruded with the application of high pressure and stirring along the screw's length. To create many layers of soap, the homogenized soap is crushed using a massive worm screw extruder, often known as a plodder.

Different types of soap noodles will determine the variety of soaps, including laundry, toilet, medicinal, and high-lather soap.
