PEG-6 caprylic/capric triglyceride is a PEG-modified medium-chain triglyceride derived from coconut or palm kernel oil fractions. CAS 68954-97-2.

Where is PEG-6 caprylic/capric triglyceride used?

• Cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food-grade systems: emulsifier, solubilizer and carrier
• Personal care: solubilizes fragrance oils, essential oils and lipophilic actives into aqueous systems, enabling clear gels, micellar waters and rinse-off products
• Pharmaceuticals: improves oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble APIs, notably in self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and soft gel capsules
• Food and nutraceuticals: encapsulation and emulsification of fat-soluble vitamins and flavor compounds
• Coatings and adhesives: plasticizing carrier and dispersant for pigment and resin systems
• It requires low-viscosity, hydrophilic-compatible processing.

Commercial specifications

• Conforms to excipient standards for oral and topical applications
• Bulk supply in drums and IBCs; smaller quantities for formulation development
