Berol 175: the exclusive high-performance surfactant Macler in Brazil

The Berol 175 is a Dutch multinational Nouryon product distributed exclusively by Macler in Brazil. It is a high-performance surfactant, ideal for formulating cleaning products, such as laundry detergents. It stands out not only for its wide applications but also for its superior performance compared to other traditional surfactants, such as Lauryl Alcohol 7EO and Nonylphenol 9.5 EO.

This performance was demonstrated in several comparative tests carried out by Macler. Continue reading to find out more.

Why replace Nonylphenol 9.5EO and Lauryl Alcohol 7EO with Berol 175?

Nonylphenol 9.5 EO is widely used in the industry but has limitations in terms of sustainability and performance. In this sense, Berol 175 stands out as a modern and efficient alternative, being free of phenols and coming renewable sources, with superior performance. Check out the tests below.

Lauryl Alcohol 7EO would be a great alternative to Nonylphenol 9.5EO, but it does not have the same performance and has a higher cost. In other words, in addition to having a higher price, its low efficiency requires higher dosages compared to Nonylphenol 9.5EO.

This is why Berol 175 stands out, as it is not only a more sustainable alternative but also requires lower dosages for the same performance as Nonylphenol 9.5EO, thus offering a good cost/benefit ratio.

Performance Tests: How Berol 175 Stands Out

Washing machine cleaning performance test

The comparative cleaning performance can be shown in the test below. In it, a white fabric is subjected to standard vegetable/animal soiling and then washed with the laundry formulation to be analyzed. The result is a visibly cleaner fabric after using the formulation with Berol 175.

Impact on viscosity and stability

Furthermore, using Berol 175 in laundry formulations also demonstrated superiority over Lauryl Alcohol 7EO and Nonylphenol 9.5EO, with higher viscosity and a lower cloud point, ensuring stability in adverse conditions.

Wetting time (Draves Test)

When carrying out the Draves Test to measure the wetting time, Berol 175 showed superior results, with time up to 25% shorter compared to Nonylphenol 9.5EO and Lauric Alcohol 7EO. This feature guarantees faster cleaning action, optimizing the performance of the final product.

Other benefits of Berol 175

• Green and sustainable appeal: Free of phenols and renewable sources, making it an ecologically correct choice. 
• Uncontrolled product: Because it is safe for transport and handling, Berol 175 also reduces operational risks.
• It is compatible with any ionic system: cationic, anionic, and non-ionic.
• High chemical stability: even at extreme pHs (acids and alkalines) and in the presence of Peroxide.
• Excellent booster for different surfactant systems.
• Controlled foaming.

By choosing Berol 175, you invest in a product that combines sustainability and high technical performance. It is the solution for those looking for high efficiency in cleaning systems without compromising environmental responsibility.
