The polyoxyethylene ethers of glucopyranoside are called gluceth (e) (for comparison see: laurethe as polyoxyethylene ether of lauryl alcohol; steareth as polyoxyethylene ether of stearyl alcohol and others). In the name of glucethete the inserted numbering means the average number of ethylene oxide units per mole. Gluceth-10, for example, is the INCI designation for a polyoxyethylene ether with 10 ethylene oxide units per mole.
