THE COLLOID-CHEMISTRY OF SOAPS

are cooled to 18 C. the linolate with its lower absolute gelation 

 capacity again dominates the mixture. While the pure stearate 

 is solid, admixture with sodium linolate yields increasingly softer 

 or liquid systems. 



A final experiment was made by mixing two soaps of 



the same aeries, namely. s><lmm caprylatr with MMimm stearate 



licated in Table XXV. The results of this experiment are 



visible in Fig. 54. The physical state of the soap mixtures if
