Crystal cat litter/silica cat litter

Crystal cat litter, also known as silicone cat litter, is mainly composed of silica dioxide, which can be reused and has strong deodorizing ability, making it popular in the European market.

Quality inspection is a crucial step in the production process of cat litter, as it directly affects whether the product can meet consumer needs and stand firm in the fierce market competition.
1. Dust content is one of the important indicators for measuring the quality of cat litter. Excessive dust in cat litter not only causes cats to raise dust during use, affecting their respiratory health, but may also lead to the spread of dust around the litter box, causing difficulties for the owner's cleaning work. Like bentonite cat litter, due to the characteristics of its raw materials and production process, if the quality control is not strict, dust problems will be more prominent. The commonly used method for detecting dust content is to use a standard electric inspection sieve. The cat litter sample is placed into the sieve, and fine powder is screened through vibration at a specific time and frequency. Then, the fine powder mass is weighed to calculate the powder content. The dust rate of high-quality cat litter should be less than 5% in order to effectively reduce its impact on cats and indoor environment. For example, some brands have greatly reduced the dust content of cat litter by optimizing granulation processes and adding dust treatment steps in the production process, which has won the favor of consumers.
2. Agglomeration is a key manifestation of the practicality of cat litter. After the cat excretes, the cat litter can quickly clump up, making it easy for the pooper to clean, which is an important criterion for measuring the quality of cat litter. When detecting clumping, it is common to simulate the scene of a cat urinating by adding a certain amount of simulated urine to the litter and observing the clumping speed and compactness of the litter. Good cat litter should be able to quickly clump together in a short period of time, and the clumping should be tight and not easily broken. Bentonite cat litter and partially mixed cat litter perform well in terms of clumping, which can meet the daily cleaning needs of poop scoopers. However, tofu cat litter has relatively weak clumping properties. Some production companies have improved the clumping effect of tofu cat litter by improving the formula and adding suitable binders.
3. Deodorizing ability is an important factor in improving the user experience of cat litter. Cat excrement often produces unpleasant odors. If the deodorizing ability of cat litter is insufficient, the entire room will be filled with odors, affecting the quality of life. There are various methods to test the deodorizing ability of cat litter, commonly including ammonia volatilization concentration detection and nitrogen injection detection. The ammonia volatilization concentration detection method involves adding ammonia water to cat litter to simulate odors, detecting the volatilization concentration of ammonia water, and calculating the deodorization efficiency by comparing it with the volatilization concentration of ammonia water without cat litter; The nitrogen injection detection method is to inject nitrogen into the cat litter, simulate air flow, and detect the concentration difference of ammonia before and after injection to calculate the deodorization effect. Some cat litter contains adsorbent ingredients such as activated carbon and zeolite to enhance its deodorizing ability, while others use natural plant essential oils to mask odors and keep the area around the litter box fresh.

4. The particle strength is related to the durability of cat litter during use. If the particle strength is insufficient, the cat litter particles are prone to breakage during sanding, which not only increases dust production but also affects the normal use of cat litter. Particle crushing strength tester is generally used to detect particle strength. Cat litter particles are placed in the instrument, and a certain pressure is applied to measure the deformation and fracture force of the particles under pressure, in order to calculate the particle strength. Cat litter with high compressive strength can better withstand the trampling and digging of cats during use, maintaining the integrity of particles and extending their service life. Different types of cat litter have different requirements for particle strength. For example, pine cat litter, due to its material characteristics, needs to have a certain strength to prevent premature breakage during water decomposition.
