heat the water, caustic and sequestering agent to 180-190'F. Mix the ACINTOL Tall Oil Fatty Acid and cocoanut oil and slowly add to the caustic-water mixture with slow to moderate agitation maintaining temperature (laboratory procedure 1/2-3/4 hr). continue to heat, with agitation for complete saponification, with frequent adjustment for water loss by evaporation. "Die down" of suds is an indication of complete saponification.
