Abstract
A continuous, high speed process for making translucent soap bars which, optionally are provided with a striated pattern. The process uses a mixture of tallow and coconut fatty acids saponified with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. To the neat soap is added a superfatting agent and glycerin and the resulting neat soap is dried to a moisture level of from about 14% to about 18%. The dried soap is thereafter subject to amalgamation where a slurry containing additional glycerin and a polyethylene glycol of molecular weight of about 600 is added to and mixed with said soap. Following amalgamation, the soap is refined and thereafter compacted and extruded into a continuous log which may be cut and stamped into bars. A striated pattern may be incorporated into the translucent bars by adding mica platelets to the slurry at the amalgamation stage and conducting the compaction and extrusion of said soap in an extrusion plodder provided with a compaction plate, such plate having a series of openings through which the soap is forced resulting in soap bars having a unique striated pattern.
