A comprehensive, freely-redistributable sap chart?

[MetalSubstance]

Hi all,

Along with soapmaking, my other major hobby is working with computers. One of my pet projects is to work on a soap recipe database program complete with a lye calculator. I am looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date list of NaOH sap values that I can incorporate into my program without infringing on anyone's copyright. If such a beast exists, it would be great!

Thanks,

Soapers Choice http://soaperschoice.com/products_list.php would be a great place to start. They give the normal range of oils.

One thing to keep in mind as that SAP values can differ slightly from supplier to supplier. Adding the ability to edit the exact SAP of a specific oil within the database would be helpful.

Have fun!

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to include a sap editor in my application.

many soapmaking books contain SAP value charts as well. the everything soapmaking book is one.
