...SOAP INDUSTRY: DOVE (ANALYSIS) SOAP INDUSTRY ANALYSIS ABSTRACT The origins of personal cleanliness date back to prehistoric times. Since water is essential for life, the earliest people lived near water and knew something about its cleansing properties - at least that it rinsed mud off their hands. A soap-like material found in clay cylinders during the excavation of ancient Babylon is evidence that soap making was known as early as 2800 B.C. Inscriptions on the cylinders say that fats were boiled with ashes, which is a method of making soap, but do not refer to the purpose of the "soap." Such materials were later used as hair styling aids. Soap got its name, according to an ancient Roman legend, from Mount Sapo, where animals were sacrificed. Rain washed a mixture of melted animal fat, or tallow, and wood ashes down into the clay soil along the Tiber River. Women found that this clay mixture made their wash cleaner with much less effort. Some of the early instances of commercial manufacturing of soap are: In Britain references began to appear in the literature from about 1000AD, and in 1192 the monk Richard of Devizes referred to the number of soap makers in Bristol and the unpleasant smells which their activities produced A century later soap making was reported in Coventry. Other early centers of production included York and Hull. In London a 15th century "sopehouse" was reported in Bishopsgate, with other sites at Cheapside, where there existed...

...McPherson Everyday Chemistry of Soap The choice that I've chosen for my term paper was the everyday chemistry of soap. The reason I chose this is because I wonder how the soap actually makes things clean, and why when the chemistry part of soap touches your skin or clothes, it up lifts the dirt. Also, I see people that walk around looking dirty, but have iPhones and good material things and wonder if they know how important cleansing your purees really are. For those who don’t know what soap is or what it is used for, soap is a salt of a fatty acid. Soaps are mainly used as surfactants for washing, bathing, and cleaning, but they are also used in textile spinning and are important components of lubricants. Now of days, soap is made up of the fats and oils and reacts with lye which is a sodium hydroxide. Lard, palm oil and coconut oil are types of solids that are used to stay hard and resisted from dissolving is soap dishes and water. Even though soap is known for its cleaning ability, it’s not its only purpose. Some soap can be mixed with gasoline to get gelatinous napalm. It takes longer to catch on fire than pure gasoline. It’s also found in Canned Heat which is soap and alcohol mixed that can be used when you want to keep food warm outside or something. I was upset when I found out that my lab class wasn’t going to be able to do the soap lab due to snow days, it would have been the perfect hands on lab to go right along with my paper. Soap is used in many different ways...

...Transcript of Investigatory Project There are many different types of liquid hand soaps to be found. They come in various colors, textures and scents and perform a variety of functions in addition to cleansing. Soaps with aloe vera soothe chapped skin. Moisturizing soaps preserve skin texture. Fragrance soaps offer aromatherapy. Some feel like luxurious hand creams. Others offer microderm abrasion for removal of dead skin cells. Some improve skin quality. Some turn from liquid to foam. Others come in bright colors that make using them fun for children. Dozens of new soap versions hit the shelves each year to be quickly scooped up by consumers who love what the products offer. The liquid hand soap market continues to expand as manufacturers identify new ingredients that can be added to the product in response to a customer need. One of the latest trends has soap products moving into green areas, using organic products that are safe for both the environment and the consumer.

Soap is a salt of a compound as a fatty acid. A soap molecule consist of a long hydrocarbon chain(composed of hydrogens and carbons) with a carboxylic acid group on one end which is ionic bonded to a metal ion, usually in sodium and potassium. Detergents are structurally similar to soaps, but differ in water-soluble portion. In this experiment we had to prepare soap and compare its properties to that of a synthetic detergent. We also had to compare the relative cleansing ability and costs of soap and some detergents. We were using saponification which date back to 600 BC. There were two different parts for this experiment that requires us to let the making of the soap.

...without much hard work, our OMOSOAP with its perceived- high quality would be aspirational and for once affordable to the consumers. We will manufacture the soap bar as a cuboid in OMO’s symbolic colors- Red and Blue. As mentioned in section one, this will make our product ‘standout’ when consumers are washing with OMOSOAP in a group, and hence strengthen the effect of OMO’s brand identity. PACKAGING: We package the soap using our brand name OMO so that the core benefits of our product (stain removal) can be conveyed explicitly. In addition, for packaging we use the same colors (red and blue) and logo as used for OMO detergent. This we believe would encourage emotional response and better customer recall (Kotler, 1997, p. 38). The advantages of our product are: ·Core product: The soap removes the toughest of stains and makes the clothes stain-free and shining. ·Actual product: According to the evaluations by the NE consumers towards detergents, they attach great importance to the quantity of foam produced in the detergent, by which they judge the ability to clean and whiten clothes. Our product produces a large quantity of lather when used. The two color bar will be engineered to be distinctive, good to smell, easy to hold and to last longer than any other soap bar. ·Augmented product: The soap bar with its 2-in-1 action of stain removal and addition of fragrance would leave the customers with a ‘happy feeling’ once they have done their...

... September 9, 2015 MRS. VILLABROSA ASSIGNMENT: CLEANING AGENT TYPES OF CLEANING DETERGENTS This standard includes general information on the different types of cleaning detergents, their typical uses, and their advantages and limitations. Sample products are listed when known. SOAP Uses: 1. A surfactant (Surface Active Agent). 2. Soaps are produced from naturally occurring fats and oils. Soapless or synthetic detergents are manufactured from organic chemicals usually derived from petroleum. Advantages: 1. Very effective as a bactericide. 2. It will form gels, emulsify oil and lower the surface tension of water. A lower surface tension allows the soap to come in contact with greater surface area than with water alone. Disadvantages: 1. When used in hard water, soap can produce a scum - calcium and magnesium salts present in hard water react with the soap to cause this to happen. Soapless or synthetic detergents do not leave a residual film behind. 2. Considerable rinsing is required to remove soap scum. 3. Soap may produce a greasy build-up on the surface which can be slippery. 4. More expensive than synthetic detergents. Sample Products: 1. "Joy", "Ivory" (Procter & Gamble Co.) ANIONIC DETERGENTS Uses: 1. Commonly known as a "neutral" detergent. 2. The most widely used soapless detergent. 3. Available in both liquid...

...IT401 Information Technology Architectures Discussion Board 3 August 22, 2015 The function of middle ware is to take care of requests. Imagine a room full of people that speak different languages. They need a translator in order to communicate with each other. This is also the case with different computer platforms or software. Middleware is like a translator. Middleware grants users to communicate with each other and other applications in a diversified computing environment (Rosencrace, 2000). Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is middleware that allows various computers and software to work together without being specifically configure to do so. CORBA is standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG), which is responsible for conceiving the standard architecture for distributed objects (Rouse, n.d.). This is done through an object request broker (ORB). An ORB is the part of the program that acts as an intermediary between the requests from the client for a service and the fulfillment of that request. ORB also implements security standards. This is all done in a transparent manner which is not apparent to the user (Gordon, 2015). Another part of the CORBA standard is the Interface Definition Language (IDL), which is used for the interface of remote objects. This is so that different languages can be used by clients (Rouse, n.d.). Advantages of CORBA is that this architecture does support many operating systems, platforms, and languages and...
