What is cat litter made of?

Cat litter is a necessity in cats' life, which is mainly used to cover excrement and urine. According to different materials, cat litter is mainly divided into plant cat litter, barrel cat litter, diatom sand and so on. Plant cat litter is made of natural corncob, Korean pine and pine, sealed at high temperature, clean and dust-free. Barreled cat litter is made of pine, Chinese fir, birch and other wood, which has the characteristics of good water absorption and deodorization effect. Diatom sand is mainly composed of deep-sea diatoms, which is environmentally safe, odorless and dust-free, and has strong adsorption.

2. Production process

Cat litter is a consumable, and the manufacturing process is relatively simple. The production of plant cat litter requires crushing corncob, Korean pine and other raw materials, screening, filtering, adding water, sterilizing at high temperature and sealing to make processed cat litter products. The production process of barreled cat litter is similar to that of plant cat litter, and the main difference lies in the different raw materials used. In the process of making diatom sand, deep-sea diatoms need to be dried to remove impurities, and then sterilized at high temperature to make diatom sand cat sand.

3. Precautions for use

Some problems in using cat litter. First of all, you should choose the right cat litter for your cat so as not to stimulate its smell too much. Secondly, when using cat litter, you should choose a basin with appropriate capacity and change it regularly every week to avoid bacterial growth. At the same time, the used cat litter should be cleaned up in time, which can be poured into the trash can or sent to the bathroom for incineration. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of use, we can also consider choosing some organic degradable cat litter.

4. Advantages of cat litter

Cat litter has strong adsorption, which can help cover up cat excrement and avoid the spread of odor. In terms of water absorption and deodorization, silica sand cat litter has great advantages over traditional cat litter. Silica sand cat litter has physical and chemical adsorption ability, that is, it will not form solidified blocks when absorbing water, but will decompose urine into odorless moisture and gas for discharge, which is relatively healthier and more environmentally friendly.
