Tallow, i.e., rendered fat, is the most available triglyceride from animals. Triglyceride is the chemical name for the tri esters of fatty acids and glycerin. These are used exclusively in greases.įor making toilet soaps, triglycerides (oils and fats) are derived from coconut, olive, or palm oils, as well as tallow. Historically, potassium hydroxide was extracted from the ashes of bracken or other plants. Sodium soaps, prepared from sodium hydroxide, are firm, whereas potassium soaps, derived from potassium hydroxide, are softer or often liquid. The type of alkali metal used determines the kind of soap product.

The glycerin can remain in the soap product as a softening agent, although it is sometimes separated. An alkaline solution (often lye or sodium hydroxide) induces saponification whereby the triglyceride fats first hydrolyze into salts of fatty acids. The production of toilet soaps usually entails saponification of triglycerides, which are vegetable or animal oils and fats. Structure of a micelle, a cell-like structure formed by the aggregation of soap subunits (such as sodium stearate): The exterior of the micelle is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and the interior is lipophilic (attracted to oils). Anything that is soluble will be washed away with the water. The insoluble oil/fat molecules become associated inside micelles, tiny spheres formed from soap molecules with polar hydrophilic (water-attracting) groups on the outside and encasing a lipophilic (fat-attracting) pocket, which shields the oil/fat molecules from the water making it soluble. When used for cleaning, soap solubilizes particles and grime, which can then be separated from the article being cleaned. In a domestic setting, "soap" usually refers to what is technically called a toilet soap, used for household and personal cleaning. Most metal soaps are prepared by the hydrolysis of methane into ethanoic acid and fatty acids:Ģ RCO 2 H + CaO → (RCO 2) 2 Ca + H 2O Toilet soaps Metal soaps are also included in modern artists' oil paints formulations as a rheology modifier. In ancient times, lubricating greases were made by the addition of lime to olive oil. Such soaps are also used as thickeners to increase the viscosity of oils. Many other metallic soaps are also useful, including those of aluminium, sodium, and mixtures thereof.

Greases are usually emulsions of calcium soap or lithium soap and mineral oil. Soaps are key components of most lubricating greases and thickeners. When used in hard water, soap does not lather well and a scum of stearate, a common ingredient in soap, forms as an insoluble precipitate. A cation from an organic base such as ammonium can be used instead of a metal ammonium nonanoate is an ammonium-based soap that is used as an herbicide. When M is Li, the result is lithium soap (e.g., lithium stearate), which is used in high-performance greases. Many metal dications ( Mg 2+, Ca 2+, and others) give metallic soap.

When M is Na (Sodium) or K (Potassium), the soaps are called toilet soaps, used for handwashing. The major classification of soaps is determined by the identity of M n+. Since they are salts of fatty acids, soaps have the general formula ( RCO 2 −) nM n+ (Where R is an alkyl, M is a metal and n is the charge of the cation). pages, enough for a whole year -SOAP explanation and helpful examples included -365 day scripture reading chart (you choose the days to read) This inspirational journal would make a lovely, meaningful gift for Christian men and teen boys and Christian ladies and teen girls.A collection of decorative bar soaps, as often found in hotels FEATURES: -8.5" x 11" dimensions with dedicated lined guided S.O.A.P.
