- Product Information
- The next generation of more sustainable high-performance degreasers are vegetable-based narrow range ethoxylates, suitable for use in household, industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning applications. These two primary surfactants provide outstanding degreasing - achieved with more sustainable raw materials.
- Our dedicated cleaning team is always focused on developing new, advanced technologies to help formulators create new products to delight consumers and end-users.
- As a result, we are excited to introduce Berol 360 and Berol 366, both of which are new, unique narrow-range ethoxylate (NRE) surfactant degreasers for use in high-performance cleaning formulations. Berol 360 is targeted for tough I&I applications, where performance is paramount.
- Berol 366 is targeted towards household applications where mildness in use is consumer-preferred. Both materials are produced from vegetable-based raw materials, and the fi nished products are provided to customers with RSPO-certifi cation.
- These technologies have been developed to address the consumer and broader market demand for more environmentally benign products without sacrifi cing the technical and environmental performance customers expect.
- Key Benefits
- Offers proven, efficient degreasing performance coupled with better handling characteristics versus standard ethoxylates in household and I&I applications
- Performs on a par with synthetic NRE’s while providing secondary consumer/regulatory advantages – low odor, low viscosity, more biobased and RSPO-certified
- Gives formulators a novel choice when formulating green cleaning products
- Helps answer the consumer desire for more sustainable cleaning
- Can be incorporated into formulations that can achieve third party sustainability recognition,such as EU Ecolabel

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Compliance
Made from sustainably-sourced, vegetable oils – RSPO certified
- Berol 360 and Berol 366 are both manufactured from a sustainably derived, vegetable-based raw material.
- As a member of the roundtable on sustainable palm oil (RSPO), Nouryon is committed to fi nding raw materials from sustainable sources when available, to reduce the upstream environmental impact of our products.
- They come with RSPO mass balance (MB) certification when issued. These products are also mild in the environment when released, with both products complying at an ingredient level with the requirements of EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Berol 366 should always be homogenized before use, unless the entire quantity is used.
Better material handling
- Narrow range ethoxylates have much lower viscosity at reduced temperatures. Lower viscosity (pourpoint) means easier handling and processing in cooler climates.
- Lower viscosity also provides faster dissolution rates for the product upon formulation. NRE products also generates less foam than standard process ethoxylates, thus a more vigorous agitation can be employed.
- Comparative foaming test using a Ross-Miles foam analyzer illustrates this.
