What is mixed cat litter
Mixed cat litter is made of tofu cat litter and bentonite cat litter. The mixed cat litter combines the advantages of tofu cat litter and bentonite cat litter, and has the advantages of good wrapping, less dust, strong water absorption, odor blocking, and small dust. And quickly agglomerates and does not stick to the bottom of the litter box, and it can be flushed into the toilet after use.
Mixed cat litter is also environmentally friendly because tofu cat litter is made of plant fiber materials, and bentonite cat litter is made of bentonite, neither of them pollutes the environment.
As bentonite is low-cost, the mixed cat litter has a lower price than pure tofu cat litter.
A. Composition of mixed cat litter
Bentonite cat litter is divided into ball-shaped cat litter and crushed bentonite cat litter. Ball-shaped cat litter is more economical, and crushed bentonite cat litter is better in terms of clumping, adsorption, and foot feel. Most of the mixed cat litter on the market is basically a 3:7 mixing ratio: 30% bentonite cat litter, 70% tofu cat litter. Among them, bentonite cat litter basically uses ball-shaped cat litter and a few higher-end categories will choose to mix crushed sand, and the price will be higher.
B. The principle of mixing cat litter
Theoretically speaking, the principle of using mixed cat litter is as follows: the particles of tofu cat litter are long and thin, and when poured into the cat litter box, there will be gaps between them, which cannot be completely fitted during the adsorption process. The dosage will be relatively large. And when bentonite cat litter is mixed with it, bentonite cat litter will fill in these gaps to form a more perfect package.
C.Advantages of Mixed Cat Litter
a. Small dust
The advantage of mixed cat litter dust is for bentonite cat litter. The dust of carefully sifted mixed cat litter is almost the same as that of tofu cat litter.
b. Good agglomeration.
Agglomeration is that compared with pure tofu cat litter, montmorillonite, the main component of bentonite in mixed cat litter, swells with water and becomes sticky. So it is easier to be picked up.
c. High cost effective
You should still remember that the relatively expensive imported sodium-based crushed bentonite cat litter has small dust and strong agglomeration ability, and the mixed cat litter also has these two advantages, and the domestic raw materials are not so expensive, relatively speaking, it is of higher cost effective.
d. Be able to be flushed into toilet
Pay attention to this point. Although the mixed cat litter on the market says so, you must know that there is bentonite in it! Bentonite will absorb water but will not be dissolved in water, so there is still a certain chance of clogging the toilet.
