What is Cat Global dust-free ore? What is its composition?

Cat Global dust-free mineral sand is a kind of high-end pet cat sand which is made of natural high-quality ore as the core raw material, and has undergone many fine processing and dust-free treatment. It belongs to the upgraded version of mineral cat sand, and is different from the rough process of traditional bentonite mineral sand. Its core advantages are “dust-free treatment” and “natural environmental protection”, while retaining the strong water absorption and stable agglomeration characteristics of mineral cat sand itself, taking into account the comfort of cats and the convenience of pet owners’ cleaning. The selection of raw materials for Cat Global dust-free ore is extremely strict. The core raw materials are all from high-quality ore producing areas around the world, mainly including natural minerals such as bentonite, calcite, zeolite, etc. Among them, the core bentonite is the high-purity sodium bentonite from Ningcheng, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia (the hometown of cat sand in China). The bentonite in this producing area is rich in natural minerals, with excellent colloidal properties and adsorption properties, and it is an ideal raw material for making high-end ore, and its quality is far superior to that of calcium-based bentonite or low-purity ore raw materials used in ordinary ore. In addition to the core ore raw materials, Cat Global dust-free ore is only added with a small amount of natural mineral binder and food-grade deodorizing factor, without essence, pigment and chemical preservative. The whole process follows the production concept of “natural without addition” to ensure that cats will not have health hazards even after eating a small amount by mistake.

The specific components are analyzed as follows:

1. Core raw material: high-purity sodium bentonite (content ≥95%). High-quality bentonite from Ningcheng production area is selected. After manual screening and fine grinding, impurities and coarse particles are removed, and fine and structurally stable mineral particles are retained. Its natural adsorptive cohesiveness is the core foundation for achieving rapid water absorption and stable agglomeration. At the same time, it is rich in trace elements needed by cats, such as iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, which is mild and non-irritating. Different from the traditional bentonite ore, the bentonite selected by Cat Global is deeply purified, which effectively reduces the impurity content and dust generation from the source.
2. Auxiliary ingredients: natural calcite and zeolite (content 3%-4%). Calcite has good hardness and wear resistance, which can enhance the stability of cat litter particles, reduce pulverization during use and prolong the service life. Zeolite, on the other hand, has super adsorption capacity, which can quickly absorb the odor of cat excrement and help improve the deodorization effect. At the same time, its porous structure can lock moisture, further optimize the agglomeration performance and prevent urine from penetrating the basin bottom.
3. Additives: natural mineral binder (content ≤1%) and food-grade deodorizing factor (content ≤1%). Natural mineral adhesive is derived from natural mineral extract, and has no chemical residue, which can enhance the cohesion of cat litter particles, avoid loose and fragile agglomeration, and at the same time, do not affect the environmental protection of cat litter; Food-grade deodorizing factor is extracted from plant essence, which has no irritating smell, can neutralize the odor of cat excrement instead of simply covering it physically, effectively eliminating the problem of “odor rebound” and has no irritation to cat respiratory tract. The production process of Cat Global dust-free ore is extremely complicated. The closed-loop dust-free production process is adopted in the whole process, which is different from the extensive production of traditional ore “simple crushing and screening”. Its core process includes seven links: raw material purification, fine grinding, multi-stage dust removal, high-pressure molding, low-temperature drying, secondary dust removal and aseptic testing, and dust generation is strictly controlled in each link to ensure that the dust content of finished cat sand reaches the ultra-low standard of the industry. Among them, the multi-stage dust removal process adopts dual technologies of industrial-grade bag dust removal and spray dust removal, which can remove more than 99% of dust particles. After the secondary dust removal process, the powder content of the finished cat litter is further reduced, and finally the effect of “no dust in sand pouring and no dust in use” is realized, and the pain point of excessive dust in traditional ore sand is solved from the source. In addition, the particle shape of Cat Global dust-free ore is scientifically designed, and irregular oval particles are adopted, and the diameter is controlled at 2.0-2.5mm, which not only avoids the problem that fine particles are easy to raise dust and be eaten by cats by mistake, but also solves the disadvantages that coarse particles have rough touch and cats are not suitable. The touch is close to natural sand, which conforms to the cat’s sand-planing habit, and even cats who use ore for the first time can adapt quickly.

The core physical characteristics of Cat Global dust-free ore

Cat Global dust-free ore can stand out as the preferred product for pet owners, the core lies in its unique physical characteristics, which not only perfectly solves the pain points of traditional ore such as large dust, loose agglomeration and poor deodorization effect, but also meets the needs of modern pet raising scenes, whether it is high-rise apartments, multi-cat families, sensitive muscle cats or elderly cats, and its core physical characteristics are mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

Extreme dust-free, double protection and health protection.

Extreme dust-free is the core selling point of Cat Global dust-free ore, and it is also the biggest advantage that distinguishes it from traditional ore. According to the relevant evaluation data of Shenzhen Consumer Council, the average powder content of high-quality ore cat litter is between 0.16% and 0.22%, while the powder content of Cat Global dust-free ore is controlled below 0.1%, and the pulverization rate is as low as 0.35%, which is far below the industry average standard, thus truly realizing “no choking when pouring sand, no dust when planing sand”. The realization of its dust-free advantage benefits from two core supports: first, the fine purification of raw materials removes fine dust impurities from ores and reduces dust generation from the source; Second, multi-pass dust-free processing technology, using industrial-grade bag dust collector (collection rate is above 90%, removal efficiency is 99%) and spray dust removal technology to control dust in the whole process of production, grinding, molding and packaging to avoid dust leakage. At the same time, the finished cat litter is dried at low temperature, and the particle surface is dry and smooth, so it is not easy to produce dust flying. Even if cats scrape sand and trample frequently, they will not produce a lot of dust. This ultra-low dust feature brings double health protection: on the one hand, it protects the respiratory tract and urinary system of cats-the respiratory tract of cats is extremely fragile, and long-term inhalation of mineral dust is likely to cause respiratory diseases such as rhinitis and bronchitis, while dust enters the urethra, which may also cause urinary tract infections and other problems. The low dust feature of Cat Global dust-free mineral sand fundamentally reduces such health risks, especially suitable for young cats, elderly cats and respiratory sensitive cats; On the other hand, it protects the pet owner and the home environment, prevents dust from attaching to furniture, floors and clothes, reduces the cleaning burden, and also protects the respiratory health of the pet owner, especially suitable for pet owners who are allergic to dust.

Fast water absorption, stable agglomeration, not easy to disperse and not stick to the bottom.

As a mineral sand product, Cat Global dust-free mineral sand retains the core advantages of mineral cat sand-super water absorption and stable agglomeration. At the same time, through process optimization, the water absorption speed and agglomeration performance are further improved, and the pain points of loose agglomeration, easy agglomeration and bottom sticking of traditional mineral sand are solved. According to the actual measurement, the water absorption speed of Cat Global dust-free mineral sand can reach 1-2 seconds, which is much faster than that of traditional mineral sand (3-5 seconds) and ordinary tofu cat litter (2-3 seconds). It can quickly absorb urine at the moment when cats urinate, prevent urine from penetrating into the bottom of the cat litter basin, reduce bacterial growth, and prevent urine odor from spreading. Its water absorption rate is as high as 85% or more, and a single cat litter particle can absorb 3-4 times its own weight of water. After water absorption, it can quickly coagulate into compact lumps, and the agglomeration strength is as high as 98% or more, far exceeding the average level of the industry. It is not easy to disperse lumps and slag when scooping up, and even if it is a large lump, it can be scooped out completely without leaving debris. At the same time, Cat Global dust-free mineral sand adopts natural mineral binder, which is not easy to stick to the bottom after agglomeration. Even if the cat litter is laid thin (2-3cm), it can effectively prevent urine from sticking to the bottom of the cat litter basin, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, and the pet owner does not need to wipe the cat litter basin repeatedly, saving cleaning time. In addition, its hardness after agglomeration is moderate, so it will not scratch the cat litter basin too hard, nor will it be too soft to cause the agglomeration, giving consideration to practicality and convenience.

Strong deodorization, natural and non-irritating, long-lasting and fresh

The odor problem of cat excrement is a big pain point in the process of pet owners’ pet raising, especially in a closed indoor environment, the odor is easy to spread, which affects the comfort at home. Cat Global dust-free ore can achieve strong deodorization and long-lasting freshness by virtue of the dual functions of natural mineral adsorption characteristics and food-grade deodorization factors, and the deodorization rate is as high as 99.2%, far exceeding the industry average (97.15%-99.16%). Its deodorization principle is mainly divided into two levels: first, physical adsorption, the core raw materials of bentonite and zeolite have porous structures, which have super adsorption capacity, and can quickly adsorb odor molecules in cat urine and feces, and lock the odor firmly inside cat litter particles to avoid odor diffusion; The second is chemical neutralization. The added food-grade deodorizing factor (extracted from plant essence such as green tea and lavender) can neutralize the odor molecules and completely decompose the odor, instead of simply covering it physically, effectively eliminating the embarrassing situation of “odor and odor mixing”. Different from the traditional “pungent deodorization” of mineral sand, the deodorization process of Cat Global dust-free mineral sand is mild and non-irritating, without strong chemical fragrance, only with a faint natural mineral fragrance, which can effectively cover up the odor, without irritating the cat’s respiratory tract, and will not make the pet owner feel uncomfortable. At the same time, its deodorizing effect is long-lasting. Under normal use (single cat family), a single pot of cat litter can keep no obvious odor for 3-5 days, and it can also keep fresh for 2-3 days when used in multiple cat families, reducing the replacement frequency of cat litter and reducing the use cost.

Stable particles, difficult pulverization and long service life.

One of the disadvantages of traditional mineral sand is that the particles are loose and easy to powder, and a lot of dust is easily generated during use. At the same time, the powdered cat sand is easy to agglomerate and stick to the bottom, which not only affects the use experience, but also shortens the service life and increases the replacement frequency. Cat Global dust-free ore has effectively solved this problem through raw material optimization and process upgrade, and the particle stability is extremely strong, and it is not easy to pulverize and break. Its particles are made by high-pressure molding process, with compact structure and moderate hardness. After repeated sanding and trampling by cats, they can still maintain a complete shape and are not easy to pulverize. The pulverization rate is as low as 0.35%, far below the industry average (0.41%-0.97%). At the same time, the added calcite component enhances the wear resistance of the particles and further reduces the pulverization phenomenon. Even if it is used for a long time, there will be no “more and more fine cat litter and more dust”. The characteristics of stable particles and difficult pulverization not only prolong the service life of cat litter, but also prolong the service life of a single pot of cat litter by more than 30% compared with traditional ore. A bag of 5kg cat litter can be used for 1-2 months in a single cat family and 2-3 weeks in a multi-cat family, effectively reducing the use cost of pet owners. At the same time, it also reduces the generation of dust, keeps the home environment clean and tidy, and prevents the powdered cat litter from blocking the filter screen of the cat litter basin. 5. Natural and environmentally friendly, safe and harmless, and suitable for various scenes. Cat Global dust-free ore adheres to the production concept of “natural environmental protection, safety and harmlessness”, and there is no chemical addition in the whole process. The raw materials are all natural minerals, which can degrade naturally and will not cause pollution to the environment. After being discarded, it can be directly poured into the trash can, which conforms to the modern environmental protection concept. Compared with crystal cat litter (mostly composed of silicon dioxide, which is difficult to degrade after being discarded and pollutes the environment), it has more advantages in environmental protection; Compared with tofu cat litter (natural organic matter, easy to be moldy and worm-borne), it is more stable and does not need to worry about deterioration. In terms of safety, the raw materials of Cat Global dust-free ore have undergone strict aseptic testing, and there are no bacteria, eggs and heavy metal residues, which meet the food-grade safety standards. After a small amount of cats eat it by mistake, it will not cause gastrointestinal discomfort, intestinal obstruction and other problems, especially suitable for cats who like licking their hair and are easy to eat cat litter by mistake. At the same time, its particle size is moderate (2.0-2.5mm), and it will not block the esophagus after being eaten by cats, so it is extremely safe. In addition, Cat Global dust-free ore is suitable for a variety of pet raising scenarios, whether it is a high-rise apartment, a small apartment, a multi-cat family or a single cat family, it can be used flexibly. It is insoluble in water, and can be directly poured into the trash can when cleaning, without worrying about blocking the toilet (especially suitable for old pipes); The weight of particles is moderate, and it is not easy for cats to dig out the litter box, reducing the cleaning burden; At the same time, due to its low dust characteristics, it is also suitable for use in a closed indoor environment without causing dust pollution.
