CH3(CH2)nCONa
Soap is a generic name for the alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid derived from animal fats
or vegetable oils.
Sumerians, who inhabited the region between the Tigris and Euphradis rivers, had already
produced soap in 2500 B.C.
Characteristics
1. Widely produced and used in very large volume.
2. It is an excellent detergent.
3. Raw materials independent of the price and availability of petroleum.
4. Biodegrades very readily.
5. Toxicology well known.

Classifications of Surfactants
Nonionic Surfactant
Foaming at room temperature is generally higher for surfactants which have higher HLB.
While the best wetting performance is found near the cloud point (turbidity temperature).
This in accordance that the best surfactant performance is usually found just below the
cloud point (turbidity temperature).

Classifications of Surfactants
Nonionic Surfactant
By adding PO to the fatty alcohol ethoxylate the foam behaviour can be reduced,
also the wetting and emulsifing performance is reduced.
The alkalinity stability could be increased by increasing the PO-chain, but a higher
PO-grade leads to a lower bio-degradability of the surfactant.
To reach products with a high alkaline stability and good degradability n-butyl
endcapped fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used, e.g. Dehypon LT 104 and
Dehypon LT 054.
