@ Strongbest, Can I use 1/2 of 1/4 to represent my 1/10? or shud I Stil go further to divide?
Sir/Ma, one of our most senior Students (Juliana) just answered your question. Lols.

Please, let's stick to the rules at least as a beginner. Later you can try experimenting on your own. But seriously, somethings shouldn't be too much or over used; else, you get a different (negative) result.


Thanks.

Good morning all.


Please what is the average price for the following products:

1. Caustic soda

2. Soda ash

3. Sodium sulphate

4. Fragrance (oil soluble)

5. Colourant



Thanks and remain blessed.
1. Caustic Soda---- 1 kg (180 naira)

2. Soda Ash--------1 kg (90 naira)

3. Sodium Sulphate........1kg (200 naira). Not very sure right now but it's around that price if not even cheaper. Haven't bought in a long while being using the one I have since last year. 1 kg can go a long way except, if you are using it in other production.

4. Fragrance........depends on the quantity you want. You can get as low 100-150 naira.

5. Oil based colourant (oil soluble colour)..................50 naira per sachet.

6. PKO ...................1 litre (200 naira). I know you didn't ask but some else might want to know later. Smile

Please note that, the price given above is the highest you can get the chemicals anywhere. If the price is higher by more than 10-20 naira then, run away.


Thanks.

Sir really appreciate ur effort at least am learning seriously from this skills acquisition, Wia can I get dis materials tnx
My pleasure Sir/ma, I'm glad you are here with us.

Where to get the chemicals depends on your location. If you are in Lagos, kindly go to Ojota chemical market. There you'll get everything and very cheap.

However, if you stay outside Lagos or in Lagos but not too close to Ojota, you can always make enquiries from people around to know where to get your chemicals.

The fact is that, there are chemical markets all around the States of Nigeria but many are yet to be aware of that. Just a little finding and you'll locate one.


Thanks.

Heyllo ma'am @ Juliana, sorry I skipped the last part of your questions. Well, deionised water and distilled water are not really the same.....let's save the stories for another day.

The prescribed method (boiling your water) is just a way of trying to improvise where the required materials are not available for use, it will serve but distilled/deionised water will definitely serve better where required.

For instance, in your air freshener that method (improvised method) will work better instead of just using ordinary water. The boiling helps remove some impurities from the water and helps your end product to smell better.........


Thanks.

Strongbest
abeg explain this Measurements

Sodium Sulphate.....1/10 unit
Alright ma. 1/10 means divide the unit by 10 then use just one part of it.

Let's assume you are using a tin milk cup, that tin milk cup represents the (a) unit.

Therefore, one tin milk cup of sodium sulphate divided into 10 part (1/10) then using just one part.

Uhmmm, if we say 1/2 it means dividing the stuff into two but using one part. Hope it's clear ma.

Please, feel free to ask questions where not clear.

Thanks.

Hello sir, u said that bar soap as is own perfume, pls sir, are u saying dat liquid soap, powder detergent, face powder ete dat d ve their respective perfume, if yes, how do we know/go about it anytime we go to chemical store. Secondly, can boiled water be used/replace d use of distilled or deionised water is some of d production u asked us to use them
Heyllo ma'am, there's a specific fragrance and colourant for soap.

E.g you use water based colourant in liquid soap while in bar soap an oil based(oil soluble) colourant is used. We must understand this little things before trying to make use of them to avoid error.

Just tell them at the chemical store that you want a fragrance for bar soap. They should kind enough to give you the right one.

There's just a very little difference between the fragrances, don't know how to explain the difference here for us to understand but that of bar soap looks kind of more oily in nature.

Thanks.

Good morning strong best. well done for the selfless service you are providing here.
I stormed this thread three days ago and headed for the market to get exactly as described on page 0 wrt liquid soap but an error in production occurred. I didn't know that I will be needing plenty water to mix the nitrosol. I used one litre, (though you didn't state a specific volume) the stuff got clogged and thinking that it will dissolve in the mixture, I added it like that. after some hours I checked but no improvement. I used my hands to try to dissolve but the solution is like pap that has 'koko' in it. is there a way forward?

* I made twenty litres
Ma'am, let's see. Dissolve like two spoonfuls of caustic soda into 1/2 cup of water then pour it into the mixture immediately and stir vigorously.

Try and let's see how it goes.

Once again, sorry about the error.


Thanks.

Oooops! So sorry about the error you made ma.

Ma'am, there's a specification for the quantity of water to be used in dissolving the nitrosol there in page 0. Kindly check again.

Strongbest:
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 C.MC 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.

I have an order from a family this weekend, I shall be sharing pictures from the production with us here, though bathing soap not laundry bar soap.

Will be using some nice mould. Guess that will help us to gain more insight on how to go about our own.

@strongbest, thank u sir, pls sir what is d function of sodium sulphate in dis formular. In responding to grownaira question on honey, u said "u prefer honey in skincare" do u mean honey can be gotten in chemical store? Thanks
Heyllo ma'am, sodium sulphate in the formula helps to increase the hardness of our soap and to increase the forming property or ability of the soap.

If you look at sulphate, being an inorganic salt adds lots value and has lots of functions in cosmetics generally......I may not be able to explain in details how it does that here but it end value is what I just said above.


Well, I have never bought honey from a chemical store before and I don't think they sell such either but you know anything is possible.

What I meant above is, skin care product that doesn't stay on the skin. Not implying it can be gotten from the chemical store ma'am. Smile.

Thanks.
Business › Re: Free Skill Acquisition E-Center by Strongbest(op): 11:09pm On May 13, 2015
Now, we can advance a little. The next thing is how to add fragrance and colourant to our bar of soap in order to have a more colourful product.

If you look at what we have above the product is kind of white in nature.

Normally, a soap produced using PKO always yield a white colour bar of soap when it's ready.

Stay tuned for more.

Thanks.
Business › Re: Free Skill Acquisition E-Center by Strongbest(op): 10:57pm On May 13, 2015
In soap production, every soap maker should be acquainted with the following terms:

-Curing

-Trace

- Gelling (though applicable more in bathing bar soaps)


I think I have explained the terms here before.

Most soap producers will tell you it's not possible to make bar soap without the use of hydrometer, trust me, the most important thing in soap making is accurate measuring which is what the hydrometer actually stands for.


However, while the instrument may fail you at any time, knowing the accurate measurement of each chemical used your self can never fail you.


You observe we have an extra 1 unit of oil in the production right. That 1 unit ensures a complete reaction (saponification) to take place thereby using up the entire caustic soda. Which means, at the end of the entire production when the soap cures, there'll be no caustic left in your bar soap.


Thanks.
Business › Re: Free Skill Acquisition E-Center by Strongbest(op): 10:44pm On May 13, 2015
The measurement used above yield just a bar of soap.

Now, if you want more bars of soap, you'll use a bigger container as your measuring tool, e.g tin milk cup.

Obeying the above rules, it there for means:

1 tin milk cup of caustic soda diluted with 3 tin milk cups of water.

1 tin milk cup of soda ash diluted (dissolved) with 3 tin milk cups of water.

1/10 tin milk cup of sodium sulphate


7 tin milk cups of PKO (palm kernel oil)

Remember a unit here is represented with tin milk cup while in our first experiment above the a red cap (cover) represents a unit.

Hope we all got that.

Business › Re: Free Skill Acquisition E-Center by Strongbest(op): 7:46pm On May 13, 2015
Using the red cover as our measuring tool:


1. Caustic soda......1 unit

2. Soda ash...........1 unit

3. P.K.O................7 units

4. Sodium Sulphate.....1/10 unit

Direction

- Dilute the caustic soda with 3 units of water

-Dilute the soda ash with 3 units of water

-Add the sodium sulphate into the dissolved caustic soda and stir




PREPARATION:

- Pour the PKO into an empty dry container

- Add the dissolved caustic soda (solution of caustic soda and sodium sulphate) and stir

- Add the dissolved soda ash and stir

- keep stirring till trace is reached.

-Now, pour out the pap like mixture into the mould and allow to stand for about 4-7 hours.

Remove from mould and allow to cure for 2-4 weeks.

Before you move on with the experiment, hold on for an explanation on some important point to note.

Be right back.

@stongbest: Thanks boss for the wonderful tutorials. I produced my shearbutter cream today. My ingredients are as you instructed (shearbutter, pko and fragrance). I added some quantity of honey into the mixture, cos I know that honey is a very good friend to the human skin grin.
That must be nice Sir. Just hope the honey you added wasn't too much though. I usually prefer the honey in soap or on any skin care that won't stay on skin for too long.
