Powdery soap are mostly used in the washing of cloth, mopping of floors and many other applications that the user might deem fit. You are advised to ensure that you keep strictly to the formulation.
EQUIPMENTS
Same as in the production of laundry soap plus drier and pulveriser (mesh net)
FORMULATION TABLE
Chemicals and the required quantity
Palm kernel oil or fatty acid 4 LITERS
Caustic soda 1 KG
Soda ash 2 KG
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ½ LITERS
Ammonium 30 MILI LITERS (MLS)
Industrial salt (Na2CO3) 150 MLS
Colorant TO TASTE
Perfume TO TASTE
Foaming agent 250 MLS
Sulphuric acid 30 MLS
PROCEDURE
Prepare the caustic soda solution as described in the production of laundry soap and ensure that the density is at the stated value.
Allow to stand for three days (72 hrs) minimum. You can allow it to stand for more than three days if you want but should not use when it is not up to 3 days.
The reason why some powdery detergent is corrosive is because the caustic soda did not blend long enough in water before starting the production process.
Add the soda ash to the caustic soda solution and stir very well until uniformly blended
Pour the palm kernel oil into the mixture and add the colorant while stirring vigorously (only in clockwise direction) till it blends well.
Add the hydrogen peroxide, ammonium, industrial salt, fuming agent and the perfume into the mixture above.
Pour into a dryer for drying or spread under the sun to dry
After drying pulverize or grate and then sieve.
Package into sachets for the market
