Abraxodyne Chemical

Abraxodyne Chemical (commonly shortened to Abraxodyne or Abraxo) was a pre-War company which produced detergents and other cleaning-related products in the United States, and a fully owned subsidiary of RobCo Industries.Red bottom line on the ad poster
==Background==
A fully owned subsidiary of RobCo Industries, the company's most well-known product was Abraxo cleaner, a household detergent widely used in Washington, D.C., Boston, Appalachia and the southwest U.S. before the Great War. Its product range also included a food sanitizer designed to unlock additional nutritional value in food and beverages by removing trace bacteria.Sanitizer instructions 
Like many other staple household names, Abraxodyne was heavily invested in marketing. One notable example was sponsoring guided tours, such as Dick Shale's tour of the Appalachian countryside. The company sponsored the tour surrounding the Colonel Kelly monument.Dick Shale: "Hi, I'm Dick Shale, here to welcome you to the Colonel Kelley monument. As you take in the view and history, consider using Abraxo brand cleaning products... I would. This monument, deep in the wooded heart of.. *aside* wait where? *back to script* the heart of the Appalachian countryside, overlooking majestic Grafton lake... Graft-Town Lake? I can't read my own writing. I hate these last minute changes! Kelley raised the 1st West Virginia and became its Colonel in May of 1861. Later in June at the battle in Pilippi, uh, Philippi he was severely wounded. I like to think that the Colonel would have used Abraxo cleaning products. You can learn more about the battle at Philippi at the Philippi Battlefield Cemetery. I can't wait, to see YOU there! Ok, cut, that's it, I *recording cuts off* I think that went pretty well. Lunch here yet?"
===Pittsburgh Complex===
Abraxodyne Chemical performed research into new chemical products at their Pittsburgh facility, such as prank cyanide tablets, rodent mace, industrial grade drain cleaner, a chemical lab kit for kids, and glow in the dark hair spray.Product ID cheat sheet The experimental hair spray was used on an employee as a prank,Office pranks memo causing scarring and requiring surgery for the employee.Get well soon Margaret The industrial drain cleaner was created and sent out on a "trial run" without developing a neutralizer for the product,The Trench terminal entries; Jacob's terminal, Getting Out of Hand and its waste byproducts severely corroded the train cars of the Pittsburgh Union Railroad.The Trench terminal entries; Jacob's terminal, Urgent Memo These byproducts caused at least three railroad employees to become ill,Pitt.

However, management at the company refused to properly supply equipment to its neutralizer research team."Mission Critical" is a joke! In addition, plastic waste barrels were used instead of metal barrels to store the harmful byproducts despite the plastic barrels' tendency to leak and cause a reaction that had the potential to devastate entire city blocks.Concerned employee Management encouraged repairing any leaking plastic barrels with adhesive tape and WonderGlue, citing "financial circumstances out of our control."Waste storage memo Eventually, the company began emptying their warehouse of the barrelsJanitor note 2 and illegally dumping the waste.Janitor note 3
===After the Great War===
Like other companies, Abraxodyne was scoured by the nuclear holocaust and disintegrated. The Pittsburgh complex and its lack of proper containment eventually resulted in the seals failing. The toxic runoff combined with radiation and other chemicals seeped into the ground, causing it to subside and eventually sinking an entire part of the outlying industrial district, creating The Trench.Fallout 76 loading screens: "Toxic runoff from ruined factories and lingering radiation made the collapsed streets of the Trench a serious danger for survivors. Then the Trogs showed up."
Apart from this disaster, Abraxodyne's products lived on. Abraxo remained a household name for cleaning products thanks to the sheer amount of the powder produced.Griffon: "Act now, and I'll throw in a box of Abraxo for, wait for it... FREE! Mix those together and you'll have the best shampoo known to mankind!" Even as late as 2287, Abraxo products would remain in use with many factions, eg. the Brotherhood of SteelBoston Airport terminal entries; Supply depot terminal, Incoming Supply Order RJR-1770 for getting blood off power armor.Artemis: "Oh, and a good way to get Ugly blood out of your armor. Little bit of Abraxo and some water -- works like a charm." Abraxo was also part of common expressions, eg. washing out someone's mouth.Pearl: "[FAILED] If I were your grandma, I'd wash out your mouth with Abraxo for being so rude, child!" It would also be used for making improvised explosives, apart from cleaning,I Put a Spell on You: "Plant a fission battery, conductor, Wonderglue, a box of Abraxo Cleaner, and the plans inside Private Crenshaw's footlocker." including Nuka-Cola grenades.Nuka-grenade (Fallout 3)
