Test needed for cold process soap
hello,
do you guys have any idea on what to check during processing of cold process soap?
does the baume, temperature and mixing time have any relation with the processing?
thanks. -

Not quite sure of the point of your question. For our cold process soap production, we have a standard production sheet that identified the unique Lot # and data recorded on this sheet includes the Lot # of all ingredients used etc plus room temperature, mixing times, and trace times, unmoulding date/time, and details of cure start and finish times.

@mikethair, this is good information. Thanks for sharing.
Would humidity in the room be a factor?
-
Yes, we record humidity on our production sheets, and of course in our temperature/humidity controlled cure room.
In our case, being in a tropical climate, the humidity in our soap pouring/moulding area stays very constant, and therefore not a variable that will have much impact on our soap pouring/moulding. But nevertheless, in our opinion, still an important variable to monitor for cold process soap.

High shear mixing time and temperature are the keys factors.

do we have standard mixing time and humidity in compounding? so you think baume of lye solution does not affect quality of the product? another thing, what is the recommended humidity in the controlled curing area?
thanks for the information guys.
