Multiply your lye amount by 0.9672 when swapping Palm Kernel Oil for Coconut Oil (76 deg).
Inverse 1.0339 when swapping Coconut Oil (76 deg) for Palm Kernel Oil.
500 g swap · pure NaOH
- 500 g Palm Kernel Oil
- 88.50 g NaOH
- 500 g Coconut Oil (76 deg)
- 91.50 g NaOH
- Lye_A = Lye_B × factor
- 91.50 × 0.9672 = 88.50
