There is provided an absorbent composition for water-based liquids, wherein dusting normally associated with handling of powdered absorbent materials is significantly reduced. The composition can be an animal litter, such as cat litter. The composition is formed by mixing a filler with a de-dusting agent and spraying an aqueous slurry of a deodorizing agent onto the mixture. The mixture is then added to a water absorbing material such as clay to uniformly mix the deodorizing agent with the water absorbing material.

Animal litter composition

The present invention is directed towards an absorbent composition and its method of production and use. More specifically, the present invention relates to an absorbent composition comprising a liquid absorbing material, at least one alkaline earth metal peroxide, and an acidic material. The acid maintains a high hydrogen peroxide release profile under acidic conditions, such that the composition is found surprisingly effective in mitigating fecal odor.

Absorbent composition for mitigating fecal odor

There is provided an aqueous liquid deodorizing composition for animal lifter and a method of deodorizing animal litter by contacting the litter with the composition by spraying. The composition comprises a crusting inhibitor.

Animal litter deodorizing composition and method

An animal litter such as a clay material is treated to reduce the bulk density thereof by contacting the clay material with an aqueous electrolyte solution and then heating at an elevated temperature. Substantial reductions in bulk density have been achieved without reducing the absorption capacity of the clay granule.

Puffed bentonite litter

The present invention is directed towards a clump recognition animal litter that enables a user to visually identify and dispose of all used litter portions from unused litter, regardless of clump size and clump location within the litter. The clump recognition animal litter comprises a clumping component and a color-indicating material. The litter clumps and displays a color in response to wetness.

Clump recognition animal litter

An animal litter composition comprising a particulate, water-absorbent clayey component such as bentonite and a solid particulate compacted sodium bicarbonate.

Clumping compacted bicarb litter

A resealable fiber board container for pulverized fragrance-producing ingredients, e.g., for carpet deodorizer formulations, the interior walls of which incorporate a polyvinylidene chloride coating for limiting the escape of fragrance from the container. The coating may be readily stripped from the container after use to facilitate environmentally sound disposal.

Resealable container for pulverized materials incorporating

There is disclosed an animal litter composition comprising 1) a particulate, water absorbent clayey component, e.g., sodium bentonite, containing at least one water-swellable clay mineral, e.g. montmorillonite; 2) a water-soluble salt, e.g., a sodium salt of a carboxymethylcellulose; and optionally (3) a solid particulate deodorizing additive component comprising sodium bicarbonate (SBC) or potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material, e.g., expanded perlite, having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of SBC or KBC, the coated particles of SBC or KBC being stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles of the siliceous material. On contact with a waste aqueous liquid such as urine, the litter composition forms clumps which can be easily removed from the remainder of the litter and can be disposed of with relatively little disintegration.

Animal litter containing a water-swellable clay, carboxymethylcellulose,

An animal litter composition comprising 1) a particulate, water absorbent clayey component, e.g., bentonite, containing at least one water-swellable clay mineral, e.g. montmorillonite; and 2) a solid particulate deodorizing additive component comprising sodium bicarbonate (SBC) or potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material, e.g., expanded perlite, having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of SBC or KBC, the coated particles of SBC or KBC being stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles of the siliceous material.

Animal litters containing a deodorizing additive

There is disclosed a solid particulate deodorizing additive composition for a water-absorbent animal litter comprising sodium bicarbonate (SBC) or potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material, e.g., expanded perlite, having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of SBC or KBC, the coated particles of SBC or KBC being stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles of the siliceous material.

Deodorizing additives for animal litters

An air deodorizer, and a method for deodorizing rooms therewith, utilizing an aerosol of a solution containing from 2-25% by weight of non-toxic, non-oxidizing, deodorizing agent, said solution constituting liquid droplets having a weight average droplet size of less than 50 microns, more than 90% of said droplets having a size, by count, of less than 10 microns.
