  2. Calcium stearate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_stearate

    It is also the main component of soap scum, a white solid that forms when soap is mixed with hard water. Unlike soaps containing sodium and potassium, calcium stearate is insoluble in water and does not lather well. [2] Commercially it is sold as a 50% dispersion in water or as a spray dried powder.

  3. Hard soap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_soap

    The resulting mixture is known as soft soap [broken anchor], which serves as a precursor for hard soap production. After adding sodium chloride (a process known as salting out), the soap nucleus rises and separates. The water-soluble glycerin and unwanted fat residues remain in the solution (see also soap [broken anchor]).

  4. Sodium dodecyl sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_dodecyl_sulfate

    Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 11 OSO 3 Na and structure H 3 C−(CH 2) 11 −O−S(=O) 2 −O − Na +. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products.

  5. Lye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

    "Hot process" soap making also uses lye as the main ingredient. Lye is added to water, cooled for a few minutes and then added to oils and butters. The mixture is then cooked over a period of time (1–2 hours), typically in a slow cooker , and then placed into a mold.

  6. Detergent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detergent

    Detergents. A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions. [1] There are a large variety of detergents. A common family is the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are soap-like compounds that are more soluble than soap in hard water, because the polar sulfonate is less likely than the polar carboxylate of soap to bind to calcium and other ...

  7. Sodium stearate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_stearate

    Sodium stearate is produced as a major component of soap upon saponification of oils and fats. The percentage of the sodium stearate depends on the ingredient fats. Tallow is especially high in stearic acid content (as the triglyceride), whereas most fats only contain a few percent. The idealized equation for the formation of sodium stearate ...

  8. Total fatty matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fatty_matter

    Total fatty matter (TFM) is one of the most important characteristics describing the quality of soap and is always specified in commercial transactions. It is defined as the total amount of fatty matter, mostly fatty acids, that can be separated from a sample after splitting with a mineral acid, usually hydrochloric acid.
