Artisanal Soap accessible to the Masses: Heureuse Initiative of Young Africans in Fight against Poverty
26/08/2005


Gic Bellomar is a group of common initiative creates on June 18, 2002 with Douala in Cameroun, by a collective of young students anxious to contribute their share by the commutative capacity and technology transfers to the communities in difficult situations. This initiative S? registered voter also in the efforts to overcome poverty, unemployment, the fight against the infections sexually transmissible [AIDS] which undermine youth.




Gic Bellomar has just put on line its practical card of initiation in artisanal manufacture of soap of household.




How to manufacture its soap in residence?




The soap is a chemical known and used since strong a long time. From is the chemical point of view it a potassium D or sodium salt? acid fat obtained thanks to a chemical reaction enters a greasy substance and soda or the potash. The artisanal manufacture of the soap rests on two processes: The hot process, and the cold process.

A- Does hot process or “Semi-Cook”
Certainly the oldest process, it consists in heating the greasy substance moderately and adding to it under agitation and gradually volumes of the soda solution, jusqu? with does exhaustion supplement that? Ci and with L? obtaining D? a homogeneous and clear paste, to which one does add chemical substances allowing L? increase in the odorous, stain-removing and emulsifying properties of the paste of soap and in consequence of the soap in itself.

B- Is cold process
the process cold known as “the most economic process” characterized like such parce qu? it N? do not use heat sources; but rather a system allowing to maintain the temperature in cold medium.

Does the cold process, consist in making gradual additions of the soda solution under constant agitation, on a greasy substance jusqu? with does exhaustion supplement this one, in a made up system D? a bath of ice or D? a bath D? salted water allowing to maintain the temperature in L? interval 0°-40°c. After L? does obtaining the soap paste, one add to it also chemical substances allowing D? to increase the properties stain-removing, odorous and foaming of the soap.

To include/understand the mode D? action of the Lorsqu

soap? one introduces the soap into L? does water, it form on the surface of L? water a soap film which concentrates with the interfaces water/air and water/task contained in the linen to wash. The surface tension of L? is water then lowered, the presence of this soap film then supports the formation of the agglomerations of the staining substance (oil, grease, dust?) who S? themselves coat with soap film.
During this time the film cleans, overlaps also D? does agglomerates of staining substances and surface it L? water presents similar functional groupings then; D? or one attends the dispersion of the globules of the substance staining in the solution of detergent, where it is formed an emulsion. The staining substance and the soap film will be then eliminated by simple rinsing.

Does the manufacture of the soap require L? use of chemicals which can appear dangerous for L? human organism. Several safety requirements are thus to respect in the production.

Safety requirements to be respected




Before any handling or any meeting of artisanal manufacture of the soap of household, the port of the blouse, D? an apron or D? a shirt long sleeves out of jean is obligatory. Rubber or plastic gloves, adapted to the hands are also necessary. To avoid L? inhalation of the toxic vapors coming from the dissolution of soda, to use soaked mufflers or fabrics D? water what L? one covers around L? stop-nose unit. In the event of do contact with the skin of the soda solution, pour L? water in abundance at the point of contact to mitigate the effects of soda.

Before D? to approach the practical phase, it is necessary to know which types of chemicals we will use and which are their roles.

CHEMICALS AND ROLES

N°
SUBSTANCES
ROLES
1
greasy Substance
(palm oil, cabbage tree, coconut?)
Does body to saponify (to transform into soap
2
caustic Soda
To saponify the greasy substance and allow L? does obtaining the hard soaps
3
sodium Silicate
Allow the stability of the shape of the soap and increases the foam rate by softening of L? does water
4
Carbonates (sodium carbonate)
Absorb the tasks of grease and makes it possible to remove them easily
5
Foaming
Allows L? increase in the foaming properties of the soap when L? is water softened
6
EDTA
Permet L? increase in the properties foaming by decomplexation of the structures?????.
7
does Poly phosphate (sodium tripolyphosphate)
Stabilise L? does emulsion of stains to avoid D deposition on the fabrics
8
Perborate of sodium/sodium perchlorate
Fade the tasks on fabrics not tinted
9
Zeolites synthetic (silico? does sodium aluminate)
Allow L? expansion of foam by fixing of the ions calcium
10
Solution saturated with cooking salt
Cooling of L? enclosure reactional and stabilization of the colouring of the textile in certain cases.
11
Perfume
to improve the odorous property of soap
12
Dye
to in the case of give an aesthetic color to the soap

our artisanal manufacture of soap, only products 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are essential. Products 11 and 12 being optional. L? together as-with it is used for the production of the detergent soaps which are then transformed into powder of detergent.

OR TO BUY THE PRODUCTS OF MANUFACTURE OF THE SOAP?

The substances are found greasy (palm oil, oils cabbage tree?) and cooking salt in the trade (gone public). The chemicals as-with them are in the hardware having a ray “produced of soap factory” or in structures specialized in the sale of the chemicals and material of chemical laboratory.

Does NATURAL COLOR OF the SOAP

the natural color of the soap depend on L? oils or mixture D? oil employee as follows: lorsqu? one uses of L? oils cabbage tree, the color of the soap is white, L? palm oil, the color of the soap is yellow clear or cream-coloured color. The palm oil mixture more oil of cabbage tree gives a maroon soap clearly. It should be noted what L? oils D? does olive give with L? oil cabbage tree of the soaps of green colors.

STAGE OF ARTISANAL MANUFACTURE OF the SOAP OF HOUSEHOLD

In the artisanal manufacture of the soap of household, it is necessary for us like:

MATERIALS

- plastic buckets 2 L and 10 L
- a large plastic basin
- me plastic surette of 1 L
- me plastic surette of 400 ml
- a spatula drink some
- a pair of rubber or plastic gang
- a mask nose
- PRODUCED

moulds

- caustic soda 500g
- 3L D? palm oil
- ½ liter D? oils cabbage tree
- sodium carbonate 50g
- 75ml of sodium silicate
- 200ml of foaming
- 10ml D? EDTA (if possible)
- cooking salt (in saturated solution)
- 1 L D? water

N°1 STAGE: To carry out the assembly following:

Bucket of 10 L

Large basin

salted water ices + cooking salt Spatula out of wooden

N°2 STAGE: PREPARATION OF the SODA SOLUTION (does danger Attention confer safety requirements)

Introduire ½ liter D? there do water in a plastic bucket of 2L, pour gently your half kilogramme of soda, made dissolve with L? ide D has? a spatula out of wooden. Soda being completely dissolved, to add y still 1/2 liter D? water, to agitate and let rest the solution during 15minutes.

N°3 STAGE: SAPONIFICATION

the soda solution being at rest, to introduce successively into the assembly of L? N°1 STAGE, 3 liters D? palm oil beforehand denatured or bleached and cooled, and ½ liter D? oil cabbage tree. To add gently almost drop by drop the soda solution of L? N°2 STAGE while agitating D? only one direction and at a regular frequency. At the end of L? addition of the soda solution, to continue to agitate jusqu? with the formation D? a homogeneous paste semi-door (that can take 1h)

N°4 STAGE: ADDITION OF the ADDITIVES

soap paste being ready, very continuously to agitate, add successively, sodium carbonate 50g, 200ml of foaming, sodium silicate 75ml and if possible 10ml D? EDTA while agitating.

STAGE N° 5: COMPLETION

After L? addition of the additives, to continue to agitate very small to make little the paste homogeneous. One makes it run in moulds out of plastic or out of wood having desired forms corresponding to that then one makes dry with L? free air almost with L? shade during 3 days. Time necessary for the beginning of L? use.






We are at your disposal to meet your needs.

To know GIC BELLOMAR in Cameroun in 10 Source

questions: http://nino.akopo.com/post/2007/10/22/connaitre-le-gic-bellomar-au-cameroun-en-10-questions

GIC BELLOMAR was born on June 18, 2002 on the initiative of Martial Oden Bella (from where name “BELLOMAR” besides….). To date, the GIC has several activities:



A distribution D and manufacturing unit? bleach D? an output of 810 liters per month and which has as customers steam pressings, the hotels and hospitals of the town of Douala
an import-export department which works in collaboration with two foreign companies specialized in L? import-export
a Center D? Elimination of illiteracy Functional of itinerant popularization D? AGR
a Cabinet of Services Multi Services specialized in the board of trustees, creation D? company, the reorganization D? companies in difficulties, the repurchase D? companies, data-processing genius, thermal genius and energy, the management of L? environment, L? legal and tax assistance? etc
I propose to you to better do their knowledge in 10 questions (read the continuation).

Q01: Hello Martial. Can you present GIC BELLOMAR at our readers? Who are the founders? When did they have the idea and what justified?

The GIC BELLOMAR which was creates in June 2002 is a regrouping of 31 young technicians, administrative D? companies, students and graduate Young people of L? higher education joined together around the concept of L? car employment, of the promotion of L? entreprenariat in young medium and of the participation in the Community development in order to contribute effectively to the fight against poverty and unemployment in Cameroun through L? socio insertion professional of the young diplomas.

Q02: Which was the originating department of your GIC, and what led you to launch a center of elimination of illiteracy and a service council?

The service D? origin of GIC BELLOMAR is the reinforcement of the capacities of the soap craftsmen and the school young people and academic in artisanal and semi technology industrial of the improved soap.

We have creates a center D? elimination of illiteracy which is for L? itinerant moment by lack D? infrastructure for capacities the young researchers D? employment, women in difficult situations and all other vulnerable people in the field of the generator activities of incomes for fight effectively against unemployment and poverty.

Was the service council set up by a very simple report which is the real problem of competitiveness of SME and SME in Cameroun in order to Contribuer to L? improvement of the productivity, the competitiveness and growth of SME/Cameronian SME and to promote L? private investment.

Q03: Is your GIC profitable and allows it its founders and employees to earn their living?

Is our GIC profitable but does not make it possible these founders yet sufficiently to earn their living seen L? still embryonic state of the group marked by a permanent reinvestment of our profits for D? better a development of our projects in L? optics D? to ensure a real socio insertion professional founder members in a context by still favorable to L? emergence of L? entreprenariat young person following a discouraging taxation.

Q04: If it is not secret, can you give us annual CA of your GIC (for example over 2005 and 2006)? Do you think that the crenel on which you are positioned is carrying in the Cameronian environment?

Obviously because the market of the provisions of intellectual services N? is not very developed in Cameroun and in Africa in general and that of detergents N? is not saturated yet. One cannot live without detergent and disinfecting nowadays.

Q05: If would you must engage (to give hope to some young people), which be competences which you would need?

We seek much more of the honest young people in whom we can place our confidence and that of our partner international who are afraid D more and more? to invest in Africa because of degrading mentalities, which believe like us that L? entreprenariat is the solution with the problem of unemployment and obviously titular D? a diploma of L? professional teaching industrial or commercial qu? it qu? in is the die or specialization and having a spirit undertaking.




Q06: You in the team, that does it pose is relatively young particular problems as for the management of the resources?

Until now us N? let us not have a problem of human stock management considering the choice of the members is rather rigorous as a preliminary.

Q07: How will you classify your 3 projects (bleach sale, centers elimination of illiteracy, cabinet of services) in term of re-entry of sales turnovers?

Cabinet of service multi services to the institutions public and deprived, Production and distribution D? bleach “the Samurai” and the Center D? elimination of illiteracy which with a purely social character.

Q08: Are the production of bleach being a chemical process with possibly risks, which the protection measures taken to protect the employees in contact with this product, as well as the environment?

Are all the employees equipped D? individual protection equipment (does gang, protect nose, noil long sleeves) and are formed with the compliances with rules D? hygienes, with the gestures which save, fire protection and management of the rejections and waste and the setting-up D? a system of environmental management.

Q09: Which are your important customers? How do you find your customers? Do you have some anecdotes on this subject?

The households and let us find we them through our relational network. Once L? did one of us go to deliver L? bleach in a school establishment of the place. At did this period we have problems with our supplier for delivery of bottles having a problem D? sealing, this disadvantage enabled us to gain the confidence of the Mister and to sell our products to him.

Because S? questioning on the quality of our product, it was enough qu? a drop D? does bleach fall on fabric clothing loincloth qu? it carried this day and that this part bleaches for qu? it is convinced of quality of the product and order at once 30 liters D? bleach.

Q10: Which are the development prospects of your GIC? Which future do you hold for him in 3 years for example? Which place do you want to occupy on the Cameronian or sous-régional market, and how can one contact you?

In the 3 next years we wish to be leaders on the Cameronian market of the detergents and the provisions of services intellectuelw and to gain significant parts of markets within under area. (Note: At least, it is clear!)
