  MCT vs CCT

  Posted by mhart123 on February 5, 2020 at 1:05 pm

  Working on a dry spray and I am wondering why when alcohol and CCT are mixed its a clear solution no separation, but when alcohol and MCT are mixed, it is cloudy and then obviously separates when it isn’t mixing.

  Could you type out what the acronyms CCT and MCT mean?

  CCT usually refers to capric and caprylic triglycerides and MCT to medium chain triglycerides. Depending on the manufacturer, they are synonymous whereas others really produce pure CCT whereas their MCT contains more lauric acid which would explain why @mhart123 experiences turbidity with MCT but not CCT.
