"I couldn't find tfm in the dictionary -- what is it?"

<http://www.acronymfinder.com/> has 20 listings for "tfm"

One of them is "Total Fatty Matter (soap)"

Stan,

Thanks for the link (http://www.acronymfinder.com/)! That ought to come in handy!

Personally, I'd vote for "Transverse Friction Massage" as a substitute for "Total Fatty Matter" for use in (with) soap.

what's your process? boiled, semi-boiled or cold?, continuous or batch, saponification or fatty acid neutralization? 28% moisturre seems high.

"1.TFM to be >76% 2.Moisture content to be >28%''

Something is Not Right! 76 + 28 = 104% ! You can't get there from here!

Reduce the water content.
