Lanolin Liquid Wax has a saponification (SAP) value of 0.0756 for NaOH (bar soap) and 0.106 for KOH (liquid soap). It's typically used at 1-5% of the oils.
How much lye for Lanolin Liquid Wax?
Lye at 0% superfat = oil weight × SAP. Apply your superfat to reduce it (e.g. ×0.95 for 5%).
| Lanolin Liquid Wax | NaOH (0% SF) | NaOH (5% SF) | KOH (0% SF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 7.6 g | 7.2 g | 10.6 g |
| 250 g | 18.9 g | 18 g | 26.5 g |
