Application Note: Moisture Determination of Liquid Soap
Maintaining optimal moisture levels during the production of soap is critical to achieving the highest quality product. When the moisture content becomes too high or too low, product quality becomes inferior and waste occurs. For accurate moisture determination and regulation in your product, you need a top quality soap moisture analyser.
This information is intended as a guideline for development of a moisture analysis and content determination method and parameter setting. Materials vary throughout the world and we will be more than happy to test customers’ individual samples.
