ronthepon Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I really need some information on what on earth this means. Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distilled FFA - 50% min MNI - 1% max TFM - 95% min Acid value - 230 min SV - 240 min USM - 1 IV - 19 max Titre - 20-28 ------------------------------------- Palm Fatty Acid Distilled FFA - 50% minMNI - 3% maxTFM - 95% minAcid value - 175 minSV - 198 minUSM -1.5 maxIV - 50 minMP - 53 max Here is what I already know. This has got something to do with soap making. FFA - Free Fatty Acid TFM - Total Fatty Matter Here is what I need to know. What the short forms are in full and what they correspond to. Which, out of the two, is more viable for making soap. Please, people, post any info about this that you may feel is useful.Anything at all!

UncleAl Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 The acid value titrates the carboxyls which will become the active soap. Iodine value (IV) measures unsaturation. The kernal product will give you an active hard soap that does not spoil. The second product will give you a milder softer more emolient soap that may go rancid over time. If this is more than hobbiest you want to talk with your technical people - the old farts. That they know what works is not as important as they know what does not work. ronthepon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
