  • Patent number: 4474683
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of soap and soap/synthetic detergent products from raw materials normally employed in the manufacture of such products including fatty acids, triglycerides and caustic or alkali by subjecting such raw materials to intensive countercurrent mixing whereby saponification takes place in a relatively short time to yield a product, preferably in granular or powder form, which requires no further drying for most uses. The resulting product can, if desired, be then subjected to plodding, extrusion and stamping to form soap in bar form. The starting material can also be a mixture of such raw materials where neutralization has proceeded to some degree, preferably the neat soap stage.

  • Patent number: 4289644
    Abstract: A solid, non-thixotropic pre-wash cleaner is disclosed. Its ingredients are a balanced system of selected paraffinic hydrocarbon solvents and nonionic synthetic detergents, tallow soap and sorbitol. The sorbitol binds the composition into a solid mass suitable for forming into a soap stick. Sodium thiosulfate, perfume and color are optional ingredients and may be added for preservation and aesthetic enhancement.

  • Patent number: 4230693
    Abstract: An antacid tablet is prepared which contains a combination of an antacid ingredient, sugar, and fat and which has a hardness requiring no more than 9 pounds peak force to cause a blunt probe to penetrate its surface. Included also are processes for preparing such a tablet in which an antacid ingredient, sugar, and melted fat are mixed, cooled and milled to produce a powdered mixture, and the mixture formed into tablets. Further improvements include using a fine sugar, 90% of which will pass a 200 mesh screen; maintaining the plungers and dies of the tableting machine above the melting point of the fat; and utilizing a limited pressure (50 to 600 pounds per square inch) in the compressing of the tablets. Another feature involves controlling the moisture to within 3 to 10% based on the weight of the tablet.

  • Patent number: 4126679
    Abstract: A novel combination of powdered materials such as zirconium and aluminum salts suspended in a solid solution of volatile silicones and long chain alcohols. The silicones and alcohols are brought into solid solution by mixing the components in liquid phase at temperatures not to exceed 150.degree. F. (66.degree. C.). The addition of the powdered material to the silicone oil and alcohol matrix prevents the separation of the components upon cooling.This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 655,665, filed Feb. 5, 1976, now abandoned.

  • Patent number: 4083796
    Abstract: A novel dye system and improvement to the conventional method of preparing highly colored soap and synthetic detergent bars is disclosed. In the making of soap bars, for example, a solution of water, glycerine and dye is added to soap pellets in the amalgamator along with a slurry of uncolored soap additives to produce a highly colored soap product, thus solving the problem of introducing high concentrations of dyes to soap pellets at the amalgamator, particularly in the presence of a slurry heavy with additives. This makes it feasible for one slurry tank to serve multiple amalgamators producing different highly colored bar products.
