How To Make Liquid Washing Soap

LIQUID WASHING SOAP (LIQUID DETERGENT) PRODUCTION
Liquid soap as the name implies, is soap in liquid form. It is a cleansing agent and it is a multi-purpose cleanser. Liquid soap is also known as liquid detergent. It has the ability to emulsify oils and hold dirt in suspension.

Liquid detergents (Soap) share same properties with solid detergents. A detergent is expected to consist of the surface-active agents or ingredients which are the essential ingredients and subsidiary ingredients (supplementing ingredients).
In all detergents, the surface-active agent forms the most important part of the detergent. All the ingredients needed in the production of liquid soap (liquid detergents) will be listed later.
Note: in this lesson we hope to learn how to make a multi-purpose liquid soap. That is, one that can be used for basic cleansing like: washing of plates, cars, laundry etc.

INGREDIENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR PRODUCTION

Materials (chemicals) Needed For The Production Of 20 Litres Of Liquid Detergent (soap)

Nitrosol/Antisol or C.M.S..........1 tin milk cup ( very full).
Sulphonic acid..............1 litre
Caustic soda.................1/3 tin milk cup
Soda ash...................1/2 tin milk cup
Texapon...........................5-6 teaspoonfuls
Formaline........................5-7 teaspoonfuls (optional)
Perfume(Fragrance)........as desired.
SLS. (Sodium laurate sulphate)..............5-6 teaspoonfuls
S.T.P.P (sodium Tripolyphosphate).........5-6 teaspoonfuls
Colorant.................as desired
Water........................19 litres

THE APPARATUS (TOOLS) NEEDED
Containers (Plastic bowls)
Hand gloves
Nose mask
Stirring rod (Turning Stick)

METHOD OF PREPARATION
-Dissolve the caustic soda with 1 litre of water and allow to stay for 30 minutes to 1hr or over night.
-Dissolve soda ash in 1 litre of water and allow to stay for 30min/hr or over night.
-Get your sulphonic acid, pour inside an empty bowl, and add your perfume (fragrance) to it and the texapoon, then add like 3-4 litres of water and stir very well for about 5 – 10 minutes.
-Dissolve the SLS with 2 tin milk cups of water
-Dissolve the STPP with 2 tin milk cups of water also
-Get the Nitrosol but if it is C.M.C you’re using, make sure it is dissolved 2 days to the preparation of the soap with 4-5 litres of water. If you are using Nitrosol, it’s used instantly (as in, no need soaking it down).

PREPARATION
-Get the Nitrosol that has been dissolved in water or the C.MC. that has been dissolved 2 days to the preparation of the soap.
-Add the dissolved sulphonic acid, texapon and perfume to either the Nitrosol or  depending on the one you are using and stir very well.
-Add the already dissolved caustic Soda and stir very well.
-Add the already dissolved soda ash and stir properly.
-Add formalin to the content and stir properly.
-Add the dissolved S.T.P.P and stir.
-Add the dissolved SLS to the content.
-Dissolve your colourant in water and ensure that the colourant is completely dissolved, then add it to the solution and stir thoroughly.
-Add some quantity of water to the mixture, depending on the thickness of the mixture.
Leave the mixture for some hours or preferably till the following day and then package for use or for sale.
