  • CONCENTRATED LIQUID SOAP FORMULATIONS WITH GREATER THAN 50% LONG CHAIN SOAP AND FATTY ACID HAVING READILY PUMPABLE VISCOSITY
    Publication number: 20110039746
    Abstract: The present invention provided concentrated soap compositions, particularly those where long chain (>C14) soap and fatty acid comprise >50% of soap and fatty acid. The compositions are formulated in such reasons that, quite unpredictably, despite high soap concentration, they have viscosity which allow them to be pumped from, for example, consumer packaging (e.g., bottles) and/or transit or storage points during manufacture (e.g., pipes, storage tanks, etc.).
