AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry has introduced a concentrated liquid surfactant product that provides an environmentally friendly yet equally effective cleaning alternative to heavy-duty degreasers containing high-VOC petrochemical solvents,according to the company.

Readily biodegradable Berol HD mixes easily with builders and water to form highly efficient, aqueous degreasing formulations for heavy-duty, low-VOC cleaning performance. Berol HD cleaner was formally introduced by AkzoNobel at the 2010 American Oil Chemists Society’s Annual Meeting & Expo. It removes tar and bugs from automobiles as efficiently as a high-VOC petrochemical solvent.

According to the company, it is especially effective at removing greasy soils as challenging as asphalt film, leaving a “squeaky clean” surface devoid of the oily residue typically left by petrochemical solvents.
