Brief Overview
In order to make soap noodles, vegetable oils such palm, coconut, olive, and/or animal fat (tallow) must be saponified and then mixed with sodium hydroxide. Both expert soap producers and amateurs use these noodles rather frequently. They provide a blank canvas that may be customized with colors, scents, and other ingredients to create unique soaps. The process is finished with additional personalization by stamping, pressing, and molding, producing the finished soap product.
Manufacturing Process
Triglyceride and sodium hydroxide are combined to produce soap using the main process for soap manufacture, called direct saponification. As a byproduct of hydrolyzing fats and oils, glycerol and fatty acids are produced. The next step is to neutralize these fatty acids using sodium hydroxide. Methyl esters are produced when methanol is used in the transesterification of fat or oil. Methanol is a byproduct of the saponification of the methyl ester using sodium hydroxide, which yields soap.
