Church & Dwight is dedicated to providing products that improve your operation's profitability. This dedication has led to a variety of feed ingredients, while maintaining the strict standards of quality and purity you'd expect from ARM & HAMMER®.

We offer two exceptional rumen buffer products: THE NORMALIZER® feed grade sodium bicarbonate, the standard of the industry; and SQ-810® natural sodium sesquicarbonate. University tests show that both of these products can help achieve improved milk production, dry matter intake, milk components and tolerance to heat stress.

Another Church & Dwight breakthrough is MEGALAC® rumen bypass fat -- one of the most researched and proven products on the market. Studies at various universities and the USDA show that MEGALAC can give cows the extra energy they need to maximize milk production.

Church & Dwight research has also led to new products such as improved MEGALAC PLUS®, now with 6% methionine hydroxy analog, which offers the bypass energy of MEGALAC rumen bypass fat, plus the protein-enhancing benefits of a more rumen-protected form of methionine from the same source.

Another recently developed product, K MINUS® feed grade potassium carbonate, is used to supplement the diets of production animals and horses. This supplies valuable potassium to meet the animals' nutritional needs, while promoting cation/anion balance for optimum productivity.

In addition to quality products, Church & Dwight provides the assistance that customers need for best results. We're constantly working on new processes involving our products and keeping aware of your special needs.


ArmakleenTM

[GO]

In 1989 the Montreal Protocol was signed which laid out a timetable for the elimination of CFC's in an effort to reduce global warming. CFC's had traditionally been used in many industries as inexpensive, effective cleaning agents in vapor degreasing equipment. The ban on CFC's after Jan 1, 1996 forced users to find alternative cleaning methods. This usually involved both the cleaning equipment and the cleaning chemistry.

In 1991 Church & Dwight undertook an effort to develop an alternative cleaning agent for the printed circuit board industry based on the company's carbonate and bicarbonate technology. By 1992 the first product, E-2000, was launched into the marketplace. This original formula was unique in the electronics cleaning industry as it was based on carbonate/bicarbonate technology and did not contain any Volatile Organic Compounds. A second product, E-2001, followed soon thereafter and quickly became the flagship brand. The E-2001 was passed through the rigorous Phase 2 test run by the EMPF in Indianapolis, IN which allowed it to be used in military application. Other versions of ARMAKLEEN including E-2001A, E-2002, E-2003, E-2001P and others followed in the ensuing years. These products were targeted to niches within the circuit assembly market and all maintained the strong environmental and safety profile of the original E-2001. The ARMAKLEEN products proved to have good cleaning capabilities and provide long bath life. Additionally, they had a very mild odor in use which pleased the operators used to working with strong smelling materials. Additional products were added to the ARMAKLEEN line to cover areas such as stencil cleaning and cleaning water soluble paste until the total number of products in the ARMAKLEEN Electronics line reached 10 (a list of the products may be found in the Family of Products sheet).

In 1996 Church & Dwight introduced a line of solid surface cleaning products. Based on the same carbonate/bicarbonate technology as the electronics products and maintaining the same strong worker safety and environmental profiles, these products were designed to provide effective soil removal from metal, plastic, and other solid surface materials. Several markets including aerospace, automotive, and optical were targeted for use with the products. Sold under the ARMAKLEEN name with an "M-" designation, these products have proved effective in many applications where spray, immersion, and ultrasonic systems are used. Additional products will continue to be added to the product line to fill market applications as they arise.
