Synthetic detergents in the soap industry

Abstract

It is the opinion of the authors that much can be done to improve the efficiency of soap in hard water by building it on a ternary system, which will make it more competitive against built synthetic detergents in areas of low and medium hard water. This appears to be particularly advantageous because of the present low prices of fat and greases and the large stocks that are available today © 1950, The American Oil Chemists' Society.
