Stearic Acid Saponification

The Saponification of Stearic Acid
The ancient good workers were quite clever in the matter of oil. Stearic acid is often an important thing in saponification.

Looking at the method of saponification, first take an appropriate amount of stearic acid and put it in the kettle, accompanied by alkali, alkali can be caustic soda and the like. Mixing the two, the fuel under the kettle burns, so that the temperature gradually rises. The things in the kettle are like boiling, surging up and down, just like a dragon fighting in the abyss.

When the stearic acid and the alkali liquid phase combine, the molecules are staggered, and the structure is gradually changed. The carboxyl group of stearic acid and the metal ion of the alkali make a blind date, and then become the main body of soap. This change is also not temporary, and it must be done when the heat is right and the time is right.

After it has melted, it is cold, and you can get a bar of soap. Its quality may be hard or soft, and its color may be white or yellow, depending on the raw materials and production methods. Soap has a wide range of uses, it can clean clothes, remove scale and filth; it can also be used as a cream to moisturize the skin and nourish the face.

Workers perform this saponification technique, and they should observe its subtleties and examine its changes. The temperature and the proportion of materials are all related to the quality of soap. Therefore, good workers should be careful about the saponification of stearic acid, and strive for excellence, so that they can get high-quality products to meet the needs of the world.
