Merck Animal Health has introduced ARMATREX™, a novel spray-on antimicrobial solution now available to U.S. producers as part of a strategic partnership with Good Salt™ Life, LLC. Designed to enhance biosecurity in swine and other livestock environments, ARMATREX creates a long-lasting, invisible barrier against bacteria, fungi, mold, and algae.
ARMATREX is an EPA-registered, ready-to-use silane quaternary ammonium salt that forms a durable antimicrobial coating lasting up to 90 days. The product is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic, making it an ideal addition to existing cleaning and disinfection protocols without disrupting daily operations or risking animal exposure.
“Biosecurity remains a cornerstone of livestock health and production,” said Dr. Justin Welsh, executive director of livestock technical services at Merck Animal Health. “ARMATREX supports our commitment to prevention by providing swine producers with a dependable solution for reducing environmental pathogen load.”
The technology behind ARMATREX allows for application via induction-charged sprayers, promoting even surface coverage while reducing product waste. Unlike traditional disinfectants, it does not contribute to microbial resistance or mutation—an increasingly important factor for long-term herd health management.
“Swine producers know the importance of maintaining clean, biosecure environments,” added Adrian Fulle, President and CEO of Good Salt Life, LLC. “ARMATREX is a game-changer that continues working well beyond application, offering peace of mind in the face of today’s biosecurity challenges.”
ARMATREX is now available through Merck Animal Health and its distributors in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, and 55-gallon containers. For producers focused on performance, sustainability, and herd health, this solution offers a practical step forward in barn hygiene and disease prevention.
