Building Better Amines Armak Company's new Morris, Illinois plant is the world's largest fatty amines facility designed to meet the increasing worldwide demand for these products. Construction of this plant which doubles Armak's U.S. capacity utilizes technology developed through Armak's 37 years of experience in amine production. Many of the world's largest industries—chemicals, cosmetics and toiletries, detergents, fertilizers, synthetic fibers, plastics, petroleum—require Armak amines or their derivatives either as processing aids, chemical intermediates or as active ingredients. Armak is the world's largest producer of fatty amines. In addition to Morris, amine plants are located in McCook and Carpentersville, Illinois, and Saskatoon,

Canada with associated plants in England, Italy and Japan. Other Armak chemical plants produce fatty acid esters, organic peroxides and peroxydicarbonates. The completion of the Morris plant underscores Armak's commitment to continue to lead in fatty amines. Armak has achieved this leadership through applications and process research and through its knowledgeable production, technical support and sales staff.

Armak's Arquad® quaternary ammonium salts are widely used as fabric softeners. Other Armak amines are used as dye assistants, lubricants and/or antistatic agents in the textile industry. Armak amines and their derivatives are used in preparing waterbased asphalt emulsions for highway maintenance and soil stabilization. This technique virtually eliminates the odor/air pollution associated with solvent based asphalt cut-backs.
