Thats my understanding too, you are 100 % percent correct my friend! But what about HLB, 15.5 means that the 77.5 % of the molecule is hydrophilic…it doesn’t make sense.
Hi! I am trying to understand why the hlb factor for cetyl alcohol is too high (15.5) although this molecule is lipophilic? There must be a formula to calculate this 15.5 value…
