Frequently Asked Questions
What is PEG-80 glyceryl cocoate used for?
PEG-80 glyceryl cocoate is a nonionic surfactant, the PEG (80 EO) glyceryl ester of coconut fatty acids. It is used as a mild surfactant in cleansing systems, as an emollient/skin-conditioning component, and as a solubilizer to disperse oils and fragrances in formulations.
Is glyceryl cocoate from coconut?
Yes. Glyceryl cocoate is derived from coconut fatty acids esterified with glycerin; in this product the glyceryl ester is further ethoxylated with about 80 ethylene-oxide units to give the PEG-80 grade.
Is PEG-80 glyceryl cocoate a plastic?
No. It is a liquid ethoxylated fatty ester surfactant, not a molded or solid plastic. It is supplied for formulation as a surface-active liquid.
What is the CAS number for PEG-80 glyceryl cocoate?
The grade is supplied under CAS 8201-46-5 and typically classifies under HS heading 3402.42 (nonionic surface-active agents). Verify the tariff line for your destination with your customs broker.
