Suitable for a Variety of Cleaning Formulations

The performance of this product is specifically designed to effectively tackle greasy soils of the type found in household and industrial and institutional end-uses. During the development process, we have carefully optimized the performance and degreasing properties to be suitable for use in a range of cleaning applications.

• Hard surface cleaning - Tackling a variety of soils, including formulations using moderate amounts of caustic to enhance performance
• Liquid laundry - Helps addressing challenging sebum (and other oily soils), which have become more difficult to remove in low temperature wash systems Compatible with anionic cleaning systems
• Automatic dishwash - As standard dishwash machine temperatures decline, high melting fats are an increasing problem, Berol® Nexus surfactant can help with degreasing action
• Manual dishwash - Complements the function of nonionic surfactants used widely as cleaning agents in liquid dish-soap, including concentrated product formats
