Safe Working With NaOH / KOH

NaOH / KOH is one of the key in the production of soap. NaOH in many places in my shop selling building materials as a solid anti-chemicals, while the KOH was bought in a store of chemicals. NaOH / KOH should be treated with caution. If it will not cause danger to both you and other people. If t splashed liquid NaOH / KOH should immediately wash with water that much, but if treated properly there is no problem.

Safetly steps to handle the NaOH / KOH:

  • 1. 
    first
    Do not pour water to the top of the NaOH / KOH. Always to pour / mix NaOH / KOH in water, with slowly.
  • 2. 
    second
    Be careful, less “splashing” especially to the body, the skin or eyes. Better wear glasses.
  • 3. 
    third
    Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • 4. 
    fourth
    Always wear rubber gloves while working with it.
  • 5. 
    fifth
    Use the mask to make the solution NaOH / KOH with water.

Materials / ingridients we need to make soap

  • Oil or Fat

    Almost all the oil / natural fat can be made into soap. Find an easy course like: Coconut Oil, Sawit Oil, Olive Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil

  • NaOH / KOH

    To change the oil / fat into soap. Can buy in the stores of chemicals, take a technical course.

  • Water

    As a catalyst / solvent. Select distillate water or packaged drinking water. The water's not good pam, contains many minerals.

Tools we need

  • A simple mask

    Solvents used during the making of NaOH / KOH only.

  • Glasses

    Solvents used during the making of NaOH / KOH only

  • A pair of rubber gloves

    Used during the making of soap process

  • Plastic bottles

    For the water container

  • Kitchen scale

    Kitchen scale with the smallest scale of 1 to 5 grams

  • Small plastic bag

    To consider NaOH / KOH

  • Stainless steel spoon or plastic-mold polipropilen

    Stainless steel spoon or plastic-mold polipropilen for NaOH / KOH and stir it.

  • Vessel of glass or plastic-polipropilene

    To the solution NaOH / KOH with water.

  • Plastic container

    To consider and and mix water and oil, in this case we can use plastic bucket

  • Cloth or fabric

    To close the mold after the soap filled

  • Plastic thin

    To print coat

  • Printed
  • Blender with its caps
  • Cloth or fabric

    To close the blender. we used the different cloth or fabric from the one that we used to close the mold after the soap filled
