Silanols are derivatives of silanes. Silanes are silicon compounds and can be regarded as "silicon homologues" of alkanes based on a carbon skeleton. In silanols, one or more hydroxy groups are bound to a silicon atom. Silanols can therefore be regarded as silicon analogues of alcohols. PEG" is the acronym for polyethylene glycol, "cocoate" is the fatty acid from coconut oil.
