The present invention relates to light color, shelf-stable liquid compositions of overbased calcium carboxylate soaps and a process for their preparation. The inventive soaps are prepared by neutralizing calcium base in a mixture of two different aliphatic carboxylic acids and carbonating the mixture in the presence of a non-polar hydrocarbon solvent and a polar organic solvent as a promoter under controlled temperature conditions. The overbased calcium carboxylate soaps of the invention contain 20%-90% by weight of C.sub.7 to C.sub.25 saturated carboxylic acids, which are branched on carbon 2, and between 1% and 20% by weight short chain saturated carboxylic acids. These liquid compositions have light colors and excellent heat stability. They can be used as anticorrosion/antirust additives, and paint dryers and stabilizers, in paints, coatings and lubricants, as well as other applications.

A soap making system includes a lye vessel configured to receive a first material, an oil vessel configured to receive a second material, and a blending vessel configured to receive the first material from the lye vessel and the second material from the oil vessel. The lye vessel may include a lye vessel heat energy source and a lye vessel mixer to heat and blend the first material. The oil vessel may include an oil vessel heat energy source and an oil vessel mixer to heat and blend the second material. The blending vessel may include a blending vessel mixer to blend the first material with the second material to produce a soap. A control system to facilitate a forming of the soap may be provided in communication with the lye vessel, the oil vessel, and the blending vessel, for selectively controlling an operation of the soap making system.

The invention relates to bar composition comprising minimum floor levels of C.sub.10 soap while minimizing ratio of unsaturated C.sub.18 soap to caprate. Such bars provide enhanced rapid, antibacterial activity. Disclosed is a soap bar composition comprising: a) 25 to 85%, preferably 35 to 75% by weight of C.sub.8 to C.sub.24 fatty acid soap comprising: (i) C10 soap at 8% or 15% or greater, more preferably 16 to 32% by weight of total bar composition; and, (ii) unsaturated C.sub.18 soap, wherein weight ratio of said unsaturated C.sub.18 soap to C.sub.10 (caprate) soap is 1.2 to 0.1. b) 1 to 45% organic and inorganic adjuvant materials by weight of the composition; and, c) 5 to 30%, preferably 13 to 28% water by weight of the composition, wherein excess of C.sub.10 soap to unsaturated C.sub.18 soap is at least 6%.
