Application of Soda Feldspar in Soap Production

In the current production of soap the sodium silicate is used as filler. The produced soap features large shrinkage ratio, easy twisted deformation, not beautiful in external form and unstable in bar weight. In said invention the albite is substituted for a portion of sodium silicate and said two are used together as filler of soap. This not only develops the application field of albite, but also improves the quality and external form of soap and the cost is lowered.
