Merck Animal Health, known as MSD Animal Health outside of the United States and Canada, a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (NYSE:MRK), today announced the commercial availability of ARMATREX^™ (silane quaternary ammonium salt), an EPA-registered, spray-on antimicrobial solution, as part of a partnership agreement with Good Salt^™ Life, LLC, the product manufacturer. Merck Animal Health will market and sell the product in the United States.

 ARMATREX is an odorless, colorless and non-toxic solution. It creates an invisible and durable barrier to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold and algae. The barrier provides up to 90 days of protection and antimicrobial activity and can enhance biosecurity when used in conjunction with cleaning and disinfecting protocols.

“The importance of biosecurity and protecting animals and property from disease spread is a top concern for consumers and producers alike,” said Justin Welsh, D.V.M., executive director of livestock technical services at Merck Animal Health. “Directly aligned with our strategy of prevention, we are excited to partner with Good Salt Life, LLC to provide this innovative product because biosecurity and pathogen control are essential parts of the food supply chain.”

“Keeping animals healthy starts with maintaining clean environments. That’s really what this partnership is about,” said Adrian Fulle, President and CEO of Good Salt Life, LLC. “ARMATREX gives producers and other animal health stakeholders an easy-to-use tool that works long after it’s applied. We’re excited to work with Merck Animal Health to provide this technology to market and help improve biosecurity across animal health facilities.”

“ARMATREX can be used in a variety of animal health settings to meet various biosecurity needs,” added Welsh.

 The ready-to-use formulation does not require mixing or measuring. ARMATREX can be applied with induction-charged technology to provide uniform coverage of treated surfaces, decreasing product waste. It does not cause microbial adaptation, resistance or mutation.

ARMATREX is available in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, or 55-gallon presentations from Merck Animal Health or its distributors. In addition to ARMATREX^™, Good Salt Life, LLC offers advanced chemical delivery systems for antimicrobial solutions on surfaces. By leveraging innovative technology, these systems help ensure efficient and thorough application, reducing product waste while enhancing biosecurity and pathogen control in animal health facilities.
