How Montmorillonite Content Determines Cat Litter Quality? The Breakthrough Advantages of Bentonite Cat Litter

Montmorillonite is a natural layered silicate mineral with exceptional adsorption, expansion, and ion exchange properties. Its content in bentonite cat litter directly determines the following key performance aspects:

1.Clumping Strength: Higher Content Prevents Crumbling

Montmorillonite rapidly expands upon contact with liquid, forming a tight “water-locking network.” Litter with ≥80% montmorillonite clumps within 3 seconds and remains intact when scooped (lab tests show low-content litter has a 35% breakage rate, whereas high-montmorillonite litter is only 5%).

2.Long-Lasting Odor Control: Adsorption Instead of Masking

The interlayer pores of montmorillonite physically adsorb ammonia and sulfide odor molecules, while its negative charge neutralizes positively charged odor particles. The higher the content, the longer the adsorption efficiency lasts (comparative experiments show high-montmorillonite litter achieves 90% odor suppression over 72 hours, while regular litter only reaches 60%).

3.Dust Control: Purity Determines Respiratory Safety

Low-purity montmorillonite litter contains impurities that generate dust, irritating cats’ respiratory systems. Medical-grade purification removes quartz and other impurities, reducing dust levels to below 0.1% (meeting international pet safety standards), making it ideal for kittens and senior cats with sensitive noses.

4.Natural Antibacterial Properties: Reducing Bacterial Growth

The alkaline environment of montmorillonite (pH 8.5-10) naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections in cats. This is a core advantage of medical-grade raw materials.

BoryPet’s New High-Montmorillonite Bentonite Cat Litter: A Scientific Breakthrough

Based on montmorillonite’s performance logic, we have launched a revolutionary Bentonite Cat Litter, made with ≥95% pure montmorillonite and enhanced with the following technological advancements:

• Zero Chemical Additives – Relies on natural mineral-based odor control, eliminating chemical interference with cats.
• Nano-Level Dust Screening – Three cyclone dust removal processes ensure an “ultra-low dust” experience when pouring.
• Instant Absorption & Water-Locking Layer – Forms a protective membrane around waste, preventing litter from sticking to the bottom of the litter box.

Let professional-grade mineral components protect every cat’s instinctual health.
