Application Information
  • Berol® 609 is intended to be used as a direct drop-in for NP9 or NP10. 
  • Similar surfactant properties (cloud point equal to NP9).
  • Better handling characteristics (lower pour point and viscosity, dissolves much more quickly in cold water).
  • No need to modify other components of existing formulations to maintain performance.
