CONT

L'expression [phase oméga] est utilisée pour caractériser l'état physique du savon lisse solidifié lentement; cet état est stable au-dessus de 70 °C. Les savons dits à haute teneur en [phase oméga] ont une vitesse de dissolution plus faible que les savons dits à haute teneur en [phase bêta], ils sont aussi moins fermes. Le mot [phase] a été mis entre guillemets car il ne s'agit pas d'une phase du diagramme ternaire. [Définition normalisée par l'AFNOR et reproduite avec son autorisation.]

OBS

savon solide phase oméga : terme normalisé par l'AFNOR et l'ISO.
