An excrement treatment material is composed of a grain that has a hydrophobic property. The grain contains a water-absorbent material as a main material, and contains baking soda.

Excrement treatment material and method for manufacturing the same

Provided is a water absorbing material having a granular core portion and a coating layer portion coating the granular core portion, which does not produce color before use and with which a test result can be determined only after use. In the water absorbing material, the coating layer portion is composed of 90 wt % to 96 wt % of a substrate and 10 wt % to 4 wt % of an excretion test material, the excretion test material contains a porous adsorbent having an adsorbance of 25 wt % or greater and including micropores, and an excretion test indicator adsorbed on the micropores of the porous adsorbent, and the excretion test indicator is added in an amount in the range of 0.015 wt % to 0.10 wt % relative to the total amount of the coating layer portion.

Water absorbing material and manufacturing method therefor

A sheet transporting device having a plurality of sheet pay-out mechanisms. A pick-up mechanism is associated with each of the pay-out mechanisms and carries rollers therewith. The pick-up mechanism draws out a sheet from the associated pay-out mechanism and then bodily rotates to accommodate the sheet in a collection mechanism. Such a procedure is repeated the number of times corresponding to the number of pick-up mechanisms existing in the device. Hence, despite that the device has a plurality of pay-out mechanisms, it is possible to collect all the sheets in a single collection mechanism and drive them out collectively to the outside of the device via a single outlet.
