Sodium laurate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Add coconut oil or palm oil into the saponification kettle and use steam to directly heat and melt. Add NaOH aqueous solution three more times and saponify at reflux temperature for about 6 hours to obtain crude soap. The salt water is added to the crude soap solution, and the acrobatics and by-product glycerin are separated out by standing to obtain soap gum. Then adjust the pH to about 8.5 with lye to obtain the finished product.
