Soap is the traditional washing compound made from the saponification of oil fats and caustic alkali. Commercially, the fat is sourced from tallow, lard, palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, marine oil, etc. Although at present, palm oil and palm kernel oil for the local soap making in Nigeria are readily available, nearly all the alkali for soap making is imported.
Laundry soaps is an essential commodity being used on a daily bases by millions of people around the world for both domestic and industrial cleaning. Most households and offices in Nigeria for example uses soap to wash cooking utensils, do laundry and dry cleaning of clothes, cleaning of offices and factory floor, cleaning of rug carpets and also to maintain a cleaner environment, With the continuous demand for laundry soaps in Nigeria and the world all over, an opportunity exist for any interested entrepreneur or investor to cash in and venture into soap production business in Nigeria.
This documents x-rays the viability of bar soap production on a small scale. There are various methods of production, but two are outstanding. The hot and cold methods. The hot method involves boiling the chemicals in a mixture. The cold method, which is easier and does not involve boiling, is being examined here.
