Coconut oil (primary)

Caustic soda (35 Be) as saponifying agent
Sodium silicate as soap builder
Essential oils as perfume



Cylindrical soap mixer, pedal type (16 liters)

Moulder with cutter (71.5 cm. x 38 cm. x 3 cm.)
Oil storage container, 20 kg. capacity

Five liters coconut oil is measured and transferred to a steel cylindrical soap mixer. A volume of
2.3 liters of caustic soda is slowly added to the oil with stirring for 20 minutes. 0.25 liters of
sodium silicate and 0.02 liter essential oil are added and continuously mixed and stirred for 10
minutes. The homogenous viscous soap mixture is poured into the moulder and is made to
stand for seventy-two (72) hours at room temperature to complete saponification. The soap is
extruded from the mould and is divided into bars by passing through a wire cutter. Soap bars
are packed in polyethylene bags then into boxes for storage.
