  1. What is the difference between CETETH-n and CETEARETH-n
  2. What is meant by cetyl/stearyl ether? An ether of POE with a mixture of cetyl and stearly alcohol?

OK, to answer my own question: Ceteth refers to cetyl alcohol ether, and ceteareth refers to an ether of a mixture of long-chain fatty alcohols, mostly cetyl and stearyl. --Slashme 18:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
