Please note that the TFM (Total Fatty Matter) percentage represents the total amount of fatty matter in soap noodles and is an important indicator of the soap’s quality and performance. As always, specific product specifications may vary among different manufacturers and suppliers. Always refer to the product’s data sheet or contact the supplier for precise and up-to-date information on specification.
