Sodium Bicarbonate

FMC produces a full range of grades of sodium bicarbonate. Special grades can be created to meet customer specific requirements. Particle size is the major criterion for classifying bicarb into different grades.

FMC Animal Nutrition has been a supplier to the feed industry for more than 25 years. We manufacture ISO9002 and GRAS feed grade sodium bicarbonate in Green River, WY. FMC Corp. is unique in that we are vertically intergrated in all aspects of product production at our Green River facility. We are committed to producing only "pure and proven" products for the animal feed industry.

Dairy Usage: Sodium bicarbonate has been traditionally used as a buffer to maintain rumen pH, alleviate butterfat depression due to low fiber diets, and aid fiber digestibility.

Poultry Usage: In broiler and turkey diets sodium bicarbonate is used as a sodium source to maintain electrolyte balance, improve heat stress tolerance, and dry litter. In layer diets sodium bicarbonate is used to improve eggshell quality, particularly in older hens and during heat stress. Powder #1, and fine granular #2 grades have a wide range of uses in foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Granular grades #4 and #5 are found in foods and doughnuts, cleaning compounds, pharmaceutical, and many other products.

No. I Treated Free Flowing is specially formulated with a small amount of a food-grade flow promoter for applications where free flowing properties are especially important. Industrial bicarbonate is also used in other diverse applications.

All USP grades meet the United States Pharmacopoeia and Food Chemicals Codex specifications for general suitability in pharmaceutical and food applications. Food grade sodium bicarbonate meets the quality specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex.

Sodium bicarbonate is available in bulk shipped by hopper truck, pneumatic truck or rail cars. Sodium bicarbonate is also packaged in 50lbs. poly-lined bags. Bagged product is palletized with 54 bags to a pallet and wrapped.
