“Premium bentonite cat litter”
The core demand of pet owners for cat litter has been upgraded from “usable” to “easy to use, safe and suitable”. As the two mainstream mineral categories in the cat litter market, Cat Global bentonite cat litter and mineral sand have become the best choice for different pet raising scenarios by virtue of their unique advantages. Both of them rely on natural mineral raw materials, showing outstanding core properties such as water absorption and agglomeration, but their adaptation to people and use scenarios have their own emphasis. This paper will comprehensively analyze the composition, technology and core advantages of the two, clarify the differences through detailed comparison, and provide professional selection and use guidelines to help pet owners choose accurately according to their own needs, combining the measured data of the industry and the pain points of pet raising.
What are bentonite cat litter and mineral sand? What is their composition and technology?
Cat Global bentonite cat litter and ore are both mineral cat litter, and the core raw materials are all from natural minerals, but there are essential differences in composition and processing technology, which also determines the performance differences between them and shows their natural advantages.
Cat Global bentonite cat litter
Cat Global bentonite cat litter is made of natural bentonite as the core raw material, supplemented by a small amount of natural mineral binders and deodorizing factors, and refined through multiple processes such as screening, crushing, granulating, drying and dust removal. The finished products are mostly irregular granules with a particle size of 2-4mm, which is delicate to the touch and close to the sand texture in cats’ natural habits. Bentonite, the core raw material, is a natural clay mineral, mainly composed of montmorillonite, which has strong water absorption and expansibility-it can quickly absorb water and swell and agglomerate when it meets water, which is also the source of its core advantages. Cat Global selects high-purity sodium bentonite, and after strict screening, impurities are removed to ensure that the raw materials are free from industrial pollution and harmful heavy metals, which meets the pet safety standards. During the processing, the low-temperature drying process is adopted to retain the natural adsorption activity of bentonite, and at the same time, the dust content is effectively reduced by three times of dust removal treatment, giving consideration to performance and safety. In addition, some high-end series will add natural plant deodorizing factors without chemical essence, which can not only improve the deodorizing effect, but also avoid irritating the cat’s respiratory tract.
Cat Global Dust-free cat litter
Cat Global mineral sand (also known as natural mineral cat litter) has a wider range of raw materials, mainly natural quartz sand, zeolite, calcite and other natural minerals, which are made by crushing, screening, polishing, high-temperature sterilization and other processes. The finished products are mostly round and granular, with the particle size slightly larger than bentonite cat litter, higher hardness and more stable particle structure. Different from bentonite cat litter, the core raw material of ore does not need to rely on a single mineral. Cat Global scientifically mixes the raw materials according to the characteristics of different ores, such as taking quartz sand as the substrate to improve hardness and wear resistance, adding zeolite to enhance deodorization and adsorption capacity, and matching calcite to optimize agglomeration effect. The core of its processing technology is high-temperature sterilization and polishing: high-temperature sterilization can completely remove bacteria and eggs from minerals and ensure the safety of cats; Polishing treatment makes the surface of particles smooth, reduces the wear of cat’s soles and reduces the sand rate. The raw materials of ore are all from natural veins, without chemical addition, which is natural and environmentally friendly, and some ore can be naturally degraded, which meets the environmental protection needs of modern pets. The core commonality of the two is that they are made of natural mineral raw materials, and there are no chemical harmful substances, which are suitable for the sensitive physique of cats; The core difference lies in the characteristics of raw materials and processing technology, which leads to different advantages in water absorption, agglomeration and durability.
The core advantages of Cat Global bentonite cat litter and mineral sand analysis
The core reason why Cat Global bentonite cat litter and mineral sand can occupy the mainstream position in the mineral cat litter market for a long time lies in that they have solved the pain points of different pet raising scenes respectively, and their respective advantages are distinct and fit the actual needs of pet owners and cats, and there is no absolute difference between good and bad, only the adaptation scenes are different.
The core advantages of Cat Global bentonite cat litter
The advantages of bentonite cat litter focus on “fitting cat habits, outstanding core performance and high cost performance”, which is especially suitable for pet owners who pay attention to cat toilet experience and pursue convenience and cleanliness, and is one of the best choices for novice pets.
Super absorbent and compact, to prevent odor leakage.
This is the core advantage of Cat Global bentonite cat litter. Relying on the montmorillonite component of bentonite itself, its water absorption speed can reach 1-2 seconds, far exceeding that of ordinary cat litter, which can quickly absorb cat urine, prevent urine from infiltrating into the bottom of cat litter basin, and reduce bacterial growth and odor diffusion. The measured data show that 10g Cat Global bentonite cat litter can absorb 30 times of its own weight of water, and after absorbing water, it quickly expands and forms a compact mass, which has high hardness and is not easy to collapse. When cleaning with a cat litter shovel, it can be easily shoveled out, leaving no residue and not sticking to the bottom, which greatly reduces the cleaning difficulty. This advantage is especially obvious for cats with large urine volume and families with many cats, which can effectively keep the cat litter basin dry and clean and reduce the trouble of odor.
The touch is delicate, which fits the cat’s natural toilet habit.
Cats naturally prefer the touch of sand. Cat Global bentonite cat litter has been finely crushed and granulated, and the particles are fine and soft. The touch is highly similar to the sand when cats live in the wild, and the cat’s acceptance is extremely high, and there is almost no resistance to going to the toilet. Compared with cat litter made of other materials, bentonite cat litter has more comfortable feet and will not wear the delicate soles of cats, especially suitable for cats with sensitive soles such as young cats and old cats. At the same time, the fine particles have good wrapping property, which can completely wrap the cat feces, further lock the odor and keep the environment clean.
Outstanding cost performance and strong durability.
Cat Global bentonite cat litter has a wide range of raw materials and mature processing technology. Compared with mineral sand, it has more advantages in price and is suitable for long-term use. Its dosage is more economical. A pack of 5kg bentonite cat litter can last for 25-30 days for a single cat, and it will not cause excessive economic burden for many cats to use at home. In addition, the particles of bentonite cat litter are not easy to pulverize. Under normal use, even if it is cleaned frequently, a large amount of dust will not accumulate, and the service life is longer, which further improves the cost performance.
Excellent deodorization effect, mild and non-irritating.
High-quality Cat Global bentonite cat litter itself has natural adsorption capacity, which can quickly adsorb odor molecules in urine and feces, rather than simply physical covering. At the same time, some series of natural plant deodorizing factors can neutralize odor molecules, thoroughly decompose odor and keep indoor air fresh. Different from chemical deodorants, natural plant deodorants are mild and non-irritating, which will not stimulate the respiratory tract and intestines and stomach of cats, and will not affect the human body. It is suitable for families with old people and children.
The core advantages of Cat Global ore
The advantages of ore concentrate on “low dust, wear resistance, environmental protection and long-term cleaning”, which is especially suitable for cats with sensitive respiratory tract, pet owners who love to clean, and pet families who pay attention to environmental protection. It is the first choice for high-end pets.
Ultra-low dust to protect respiratory health
This is the most outstanding advantage of Cat Global ore. Compared with bentonite cat litter, the ore has been polished, screened and dusted many times in the processing process, and the particle surface is smooth without fine dust, and the dust rate can be controlled below 0.1%, which completely solves the problem of traditional mineral cat litter flying powder. The actual measurement shows that almost no dust will be generated when the ore is dumped and cats go to the toilet to pull, which can not only protect the cat’s fragile respiratory tract and avoid diseases such as rhinitis and bronchitis, but also prevent dust from adhering to furniture and clothes, reducing the burden of household cleaning, especially suitable for cats with rhinitis pets and sensitive respiratory tract.
The particles are hard and wear-resistant, not easy to be pulverized, and the sand rate is low.
Cat Global mineral sand is made of natural mineral raw materials with high hardness. After high-temperature polishing, the particles are hard, stable in structure, and not easy to be broken and pulverized. Even if cats frequently pull and trample, they can maintain a complete shape. Compared with bentonite cat litter, the pulverization rate of mineral sand is reduced by more than 80%, and there will be no powder accumulation at the bottom of cat litter basin after long-term use, so cleaning is more worry-free. At the same time, the round and smooth particles are not easy to stick to the cat’s feet and hair, and the sand-carrying rate is extremely low, which can effectively prevent the cat from taking the cat litter out of the cat litter basin and reduce the indoor sanitary dead angle.
Natural environmental protection, safety and no burden
The raw materials of Cat Global ore are all from natural veins, without chemical additives, essence and industrial glue. After non-toxic testing, there is no safety risk for cats to eat a small amount by mistake, which is suitable for cats with sensitive stomach. In addition, some minerals (such as zeolite minerals) can be naturally degraded, and will not pollute the environment after being abandoned, which is in line with the environmental protection concept of modern pet raising. At the same time, the production process of ore sand adopts green technology, without waste water and waste gas emission, giving consideration to pet health and environmental protection.
Long-lasting deodorization and remarkable antibacterial effect.
Relying on the porous structure of natural minerals, mineral sand has strong adsorption capacity, which can not only adsorb odor, but also adsorb moisture and bacteria in the air to achieve long-term bacteriostasis. For example, the porous structure of Cat Global zeolite ore can quickly absorb ammonia in urine, and the ammonia removal rate can reach over 96%, which can achieve long-term taste control for 48 hours. Even if it is used by many cats, it can keep no obvious odor indoors. At the same time, the high-temperature sterilization process can completely remove bacteria and eggs from raw materials, and reduce the risk of cats being infected by cat litter, which is especially suitable for young cats and elderly cats with low immunity.
Wide range of application scenarios, adapting to special needs.
Cat Global mineral sand is extremely durable. A single cat can use a bag of 5kg mineral sand for more than 35 days. Multi-cat family use can greatly reduce the replacement frequency and reduce the long-term use cost. In addition, the mineral sand has excellent moisture-proof performance, and it is not easy to agglomerate and mold in humid environment, so it is suitable for use in humid areas in the south. At the same time, its particles are hard, so it is not easy for cats to eat too much by mistake, and it is also suitable for cats with slight pica.
