Berol ENV226 Plus – a winning formula

4AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry | Berol ENV226 Plus

Berol ENV226 Plus exploits the synergy betweennonionic and cationic surfactants to achieve excellentwetting, fast soil penetration and effectiveness at lowconcentrations.

Berol ENV226 Plus is designed for water-based hardsurface cleaning and effective removal of oily, greasy,waxy and particulate soils without the need forhazardous solvents.

Berol ENV226 Plus can be formulated in EU Ecolabelall-purpose and sanitary cleaners.

What is a narrow range ethoxylate?

A narrow range or peaked ethoxylate has an EO distribution curve that isnarrower than the equivalent standard alcohol ethoxylate with a considerablylower content of unreacted alcohol and lower foam than standard ethoxylates


Highly targeted performance

Focused composition for improved degreasing

Our narrow range ethoxylates

• Are centered at the exact EO level required for effective cleaning

• Have very little unreacted alcohol and thus there is almost nounwanted “greasy soil” in the product

• Have low levels of higher ethoxylates resulting in more rapid foamcollapse

• Require less or no defoamers


Achieve better performance with less product

Highly viscous Clear liquid Thick paste Slightly viscous

Better low temperature handling

Lower viscosity at 0°C than standard alcohol ethoxylates



Berol 260Excellent fatty soil removal in water based cleaning productsespecially when it is combined with performance boosting co-surfactants

Berol 266

Two cloud points in water, effective cleaning at high and lowtemperatureCleaning products often contain two nonionic surfactants withdifferent cloud points, Berol 266 can often replace both costeffectively

Cost effective solution

Our methods to assess cleaning performance• Non-mechanical cleaning tests (ANSC’s black box)

• Mechanical cleaning tests (IKW standard using the Sheen scrubber)

• The type of soil used in the test reflect the actual cleaning/degreasingability of the products.• Tough to clean greasy soil collected from a train engine for I&I

cleaning applications• Commercially available Lambert soil mixed with corn oil and water for

household cleaning applications• Standardized soil for quality assessment of All-Purpose Cleaners

according to IKW recommendation (SÖFW-Journal 130, 10-2004,pages 83-93)
