PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (R = Coconut fatty acid chain)
Description: PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is formed by adding 7 moles of ethylene oxide to the glycerol monoester of coconut fatty acids (mainly lauric, myristic, palmitic, and oleic acids). The molecule contains both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) properties through ester and ether bonds, providing excellent surfactant performance. The HLB value of 12-14 makes it ideal for water-based formulations.
