[Scientific and technological achievements] hydrophilic plant cat litter
Nowadays, it has become a choice for many people to keep a lovely cat to accompany themselves and their families, and cat litter is essential. I can always hear the troubles of cat owners about cat litter, such as: scattering with a shovel, powdering and sticky bottom, and obvious peculiar smell......
The hydrophilic plant cat litter introduced by the editor today was developed by the Institute of Micro-nano Technology of the Table Interface of our hospital (hereinafter referred to as the "Table Interface Institute"). It is a scientific and technological achievement after the organic combination of hydrophilic technology and plant fiber substrate. Next, please follow Xiaobian to learn about it ~
science and technology research and development
Cat litter is an object used by the owner to bury feces and urine for cats. It has good water absorption and is mainly represented by soil sand (bentonite cat litter) and plant sand (tofu cat litter).
Soil and sand
The main component of soil sand is bentonite, which is the most common cat litter. It is very hygroscopic and can quickly absorb the water in the feces and form a large hard mass. However, the dust of bentonite cat litter is too large. If the litter box is placed in the room, a layer of fine white powder will gradually adhere to the surface of the furniture, and the cat also has a fishy smell. Moreover, bentonite cat litter cannot be directly washed into the sewer and is not easy to handle. At the same time, the dust of bentonite cat litter is easier to be licked by cats, which will damage their respiratory and digestive systems.
Tofu cat litter
The material of tofu cat litter is more environmentally friendly and can be dissolved in water. The tofu cat litter can be directly washed into the sewer after use, which is more convenient to clean. Tofu cat litter is dust-free and will not cause damage to the cat's respiratory system. At the same time, because its ingredients are non-toxic, there is no need to worry about damage to the digestive system after the cat eats it by mistake. However, the agglomeration of tofu cat litter is slightly worse, and it is easy to stick to the bottom.
Hydrophilic plant cat litter
The hydrophilic plant cat litter developed by the surface interface is based on the selection of natural plants with high fiber content and low content of perishable ingredients such as fat and protein,Through physical crushing and puffing technology, the specific surface area of the material is increased, and then the basic fiber material is modified by super hydrophilic molecular groups to form super hydrophilic modified plant fiber material, which improves the water absorption and water absorption rate of plant fiber.
science and technology innovation
Next, the editor will introduce in detail the "wonderful effect" when the "hydrophilic technology" meets the "plant fiber substrate".
Absorb water faster and save more
Hydrophilic plant cat litter raw materials through physical and chemical methods, the selected plant fiber substrate hydrophilic modification, improve the water absorption performance of such materials, so that its water absorption rate is better than the traditional tofu cat litter. Due to the large amount of water absorption, the amount of cat litter used will be reduced.
Comparison of water absorption rate
Quick agglomeration non-stick basin
Hydrophilic plant cat litter compared to ordinary tofu cat litter, strong water absorption, more easily clumping. Under the same amount of water, it is not easy to stick to the bottom.
Fast dispersion and easy flushing
Hydrophilic plant cat litter also has the characteristics of the existing tofu cat litter, has good water solubility, can achieve rapid dispersion, more easy to directly flush sewers, does not block
water solubility test
Non-toxic harmless zero formaldehyde
By the authority of the SGS acute oral toxicity test, the test results are non-toxic and harmless, not afraid of cats eating. At the same time, after a number of harmful substances testing, the results are up to standard. At the same time, the product is tested by video formaldehyde, and the test result is zero formaldehyde, which really protects the safety of cats.
Improved process, low dust
The production of hydrophilic plant cat litter adopts the most advanced multiple dust control measures. Quality control of each batch of shipped products to keep the amount of hydrophilic plant cat litter dust low. At the same time, the strength of cat litter particles is further improved through process adjustment, which effectively reduces the amount of dust generated during transportation and use, and is more conducive to the health of cats.
Patented technology, more deodorant
The plant fiber material used in the hydrophilic plant cat litter is mainly composed of cellulose and lignin, and the content of perishable components such as protein and fat is very low, so the corruption is avoided. At the same time, the plant fiber material we use is a porous material, which has been tested by the international authority SGS to achieve a better deodorization effect, which is the gospel of "shoveling excrement officials.
application value
On the one hand, based on its good performance characteristics, hydrophilic plant cat litter can provide a healthier and more reliable use experience for the majority of cat owners. On the other hand, most of the materials selected for hydrophilic plant cat litter are post-harvest waste of crops, and the annual output is huge. If it is not handled correctly, it will cause environmental pollution and other risks. This kind of material has low cost and large stock. The rational use of such materials can not only produce economic value, but also provide good social value for environmental governance.
Institute of Table Interface Micro-nano Technology
In the micro-nano technology research institute, there are not only the Yangtze River scholars and the Ministry of Education's new century talents and other leading talents in scientific and technological innovation, but also doctors and high-end talents from well-known universities at home and abroad. The team relies on the accumulation of scientific research achievements in the Department of Mechanics and the State Key Laboratory of Tribology of Tsinghua University for decades, with the policy support of Tianjin and the technical support of Tsinghua University, realize the industrial transformation and application of technologies such as adsorption/catalytic integration, plant amino acid extraction and purification, and chlorine dioxide slow release, carry out the transformation of related results of self-assembly technology, scientific research industrialization, technical support and product services, and establish related products The operation mode of corporatization.
