Soap
The method of boiling such a soap is the same as for any settled soap up
to the strengthening change. When this stage is reached, sufficient lye
is added to strengthen the kettle strongly. It is then boiled down with
closed steam on salt brine or "pickle" until a sample of the lye taken
from the bottom stands at 16deg.-22deg. B. The soap is then run into
barrels and after standing therein for a day is hand crutched until cool
to prevent streaking of the soap.
Besides a soap of this type a settled tallow chip soap is used.
WOOL THROWER'S SOAP.
Soaps for wool throwing are sometimes made from olive oil foots but
these are often objected to because of the sulphur-like odor conveyed to
the cloth due to the method by which this oil is extracted with carbon
disulphide. A potash soap hardened somewhat with soda is also used. As a
formula for a suitable soap of this type this may be given.
Olive Oil Foots 12 parts
Corn Oil 46 "
House Grease 20 "
Soda Lye, 36deg. B. 3 "
Potassium Carbonate (dry) 5-3/4 "
Potassium Hydrate (solid) 23 "
This soap is made as a "run" soap by the general directions already
given for a soap thus made. The kettle is boiled with open and closed
steam, adding water very slowly and aiming to obtain a 220-225 per cent.
yield or fatty acid content of the finished soap of 46 per cent. When
the soap is finished a sample cooled on a plate of glass should be
neither slippery or short, but should string slightly. The finished soap
is run directly into barrels.
A soap for wool throwing by the semi-boiled process may be made from
olive oil foots in a crutcher thus:
Olive Oil Foots 600 lbs.
Potash Lye, 20deg. B. 660 "
The oil is heated to 180deg. F., the lye added and the mass stirred until
it bunches, when it is dropped into barrels.
WORSTED FINISHING SOAPS.
For the finishing of worsted cloth soaps high in cocoanut oil or palm
kernel oil are preferred. These soaps are finished very neutral, being
made as settled soaps, but given an extra wash change after
strengthening strongly. They are then finished as usual and run into
barrels. If framed too hot, the high percentage of cocoanut oil causes
mottling, which is prevented by crutching by hand until the temperature
of the soap is 140deg.-145deg. F. Some typical charges, all of which are
saponified with soda lye, follow:
I.
Palm Kernel Oil 60 parts
Corn Oil 40 "
II.
Palm Kernel Oil 30 "
Red Oil (single pressed) 70 "
III.
Red Oil 33-1/3 "
Corn Oil 33-1/3 "
Cocoanut Oil or Palm Kernel Oil 33-1/3 "
