Key Benefits

Robust – can be used with many active ingredients and solvents; Tolerant to temperature and quality variations; Convenient – easy to use and dose; Effective at low concentrations; Better hard water tolerance; Reduced complexity and stock keeping; Berol® 9960 is a nonionic / anionic emulsifier blends for standard aromatic solvent based EC formulations; The basic pair consists of Berol 9960 and Berol 9968.; Depending on the HLB of the EC the emulsifier ratio needs to be determined by means of a ratio check. Berol 9927 and Berol 9969 can be used in more hydrophobic formulations.
