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


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.
