Refined Baking (RB) Grade - Sodium Bicarbonate - ARM & HAMMER™

Solving Powder Handling Challenges in Commercial Baking

In commercial baking and large scale food manufacturing, consistency is everything. Yet many operations still face persistent challenges—from excessive dusting and poor powder flow to inconsistent dosing that disrupts production efficiency and product quality.

Professional bakers know that particle size matters for reproducible leavening. At the same time, food manufacturers and process engineers must manage powder behavior to ensure smooth conveying, reliable mass flow, and accurate dosing at scale. When baking soda doesn’t perform consistently in the plant, it can create downstream operational headaches.

To address these challenges, Arm & Hammer™ Performance Products has expanded its trusted sodium bicarbonate portfolio with Arm & Hammer™ Sodium Bicarbonate USP No. 1.5 Refined Baking (RB). This new grade is engineered using a specialized separation technique that delivers a tighter particle size distribution—helping reduce dustiness and improve flow characteristics while maintaining the same trusted leavening performance bakers expect.

USP No. 1.5 RB is just one example of how Arm & Hammer™ supports commercial baking with purpose built solutions. With a broad portfolio of sodium bicarbonate grades designed for different applications, particle sizes, and processing needs, manufacturers can select the right product to match both formulation requirements and operational demands.

Whether you’re focused on improving handling efficiency, maintaining leavening consistency, or optimizing production performance, Arm & Hammer™ offers baking soda solutions backed by more than 180 years of expertise.

Arm & Hammer™ Sodium Bicarbonate USP No. 1.5 Refined Baking (RB) is now commercially available in BULK and SUPERSACKS.
