Abstract: | Summary Hexachlorophene is determined in soap by measuring the color produced by reaction with ferric chloride in alcohol solution
with controlled conditions of time and temperature. The precision is within ±5% of the hexachlorophene content at the 1/2%
level or above. As a criterion, any soap that will give a finely dispersed barium soap and that does not form a precipitate
with ferric chloride under the conditions of the method give good results. This includes all milled bar soaps. The effect
of phenolic perfume ingredients on the result is negligible. Five per cent abietic acid in the fatty acid composition has
no effect on the result. The method is slightly modified for use with liquid potassium soaps. |
