Description
Specifications
Oleoyl macrogolglycerides, is a mixture of monoesters,
diesters and triesters of glycerol and monoesters and
diesters of macrogols (polyethylene glycols (PEG) with
a mean relative molecular mass of 300). It is obtained
by partial alcoholysis of unsaturated oils containing
mainly triglycerides of oleic (cis-9-octadecenoic) acid
using macrogol (PEG) or by esterification of glycerol
and macrogol (PEG) with unsaturated fatty acids or by
mixture of glycerol esters and condensates of ethylene
oxide with the fatty acids of these unsaturated oils.
The product may contain free polyethylene glycols.
