- Key Benefits for Formulators
- NPEO free – compliant to increasingly stringent environmental regulations
- Outstanding wetting allows faster penetration to dislodge and dissolve soil, improving detergency of formulation
- Faster room temperature dissolution time than np9 eases handling and manufacturing process
- Good detergency and degreasing performance for all purpose cleaning
- Good compatibility in wide range of formulations offer formulation flexibility and storage stability
- Product Highlights
- Nouryon developed Berol 611 surfactant to offer cleaning formulators an environmentally responsible alternative to NPEO to create high-performing cleaning and degreasing products.
- With the introduction of Berol 611 surfactant, Nouryon is meeting the growing demand for effective cleaning solutions in a wide variety of cleaning applications.
- The versatility of Berol 611 is enabled by its favorable wetting performance, which allows it to achieve effective penetration and surface contact with the cleaning substrates to enhance cleaning performance.
- Berol 611 surfactant demonstrates excellent solubility in water at room temperature with less gelation while reducing processing times and minimizing clogging risks in production lines.
- Its lower foaming characteristics compared to NP9 promotes rinse ability and minimizes pressure load in equipment.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- To maintain color, the product should be stored below, or, in the case of bulk storage, only slightly above the melting point/cloud point. Higher temperatures can be tolerated where color maintenance is not of concern.
- However, the maximum recommended heating coil surface temperature is 100°C. Prolonged heated storage in air can cause discoloration and degradation. Heated storage vessels should be sealed (with a vent pipe) and preferably be nitrogen blanketed.
- If the product is handled and stored at temperatures near or below its melting point/cloud point there is a risk of separation. In such cases the entire amount should be heated until it melts and homogenizes. In applications involving heat, the temperature and time of exposure should be kept at a minimum.
