A chemical decomposition of a paint's binder by alkali and moisture from a substrate (e g , new concrete or fresh plaster) Saponified paint may deteriorate, lose its adhesion, and become discolored
a chemical reaction in which an ester is heated with an alkali (especially the alkaline hydrolysis of a fat or oil to make soap)
The reaction between a caustic alkali (lye) and the fatty acids in a vegetable oil or animal fat which results in soap (see How Is Soap Made? and The Chemistry of Soap)
the chemical process which produces soap During saponification, a fatty acid (in our case, the oils) and a base (we use sodium hydroxide - commonly known as lye) react with one another and neutralize into a salt (or soap)
The breaking down of oils into very fine droplets called colloids; to hydrolyze a fat with alkali to form a soap and glycerol
Alkaline hydrolysis of an oil or fat, or the neutralization of a fatty acid to form a soap [Top]
convert into soap by hydrolizing an ester into an acid and alcohol as a result of treating it with an alkali; "saponify oils and fats" become converted into soap by being hydrolized into an acid and alcohol as a result of being treated with an alkali; "the oil saponified
