Key Applications
How Bentonite is Used
Clumping Cat Litter (Sodium Bentonite)
Superior Clumping Sodium bentonite expands 12–18 times its dry volume upon contact with liquid, forming tight, solid clumps that fully encapsulate cat urine. Firm clumps do not crumble during scooping, enabling daily spot-cleaning without full litter box replacement — extending litter lifespan to 12–15 uses per box vs. 5–7 for non-clumping alternatives.
High Absorption Bentonite absorbs 3.5–4.0 grams of liquid per gram of material — approximately double the capacity of traditional clay litters. Rapid capillary action pulls moisture deep into granules within seconds of contact, keeping the litter box surface dry and hygienic between cleanings.
Natural Odor Control The ion exchange mechanism in sodium bentonite traps ammonium ions from cat urine, neutralizing odor at the molecular level rather than masking it with fragrance. Lab testing confirms odor molecules remain trapped for 72+ hours post-clumping, suppressing bacterial growth and airborne contamination.
Product specifications:
- Granule size: 0.5–4.0 mm (adjustable per customer specification)
- Moisture content: ≤ 12%
- Absorption capacity: ≥ 350% of dry weight
- Swell index: ≥ 24 ml/2g
- Dust content: ≤ 0.5% (dust-free grades available)
- Bulk density: 0.75–0.95 g/cm³
Target customers: Cat litter brand owners, private label manufacturers, pet product retail chains, e-commerce pet care distributors, OEM/ODM cat litter producers.
Non-Clumping & Lightweight Cat Litter (Calcium Bentonite)
Economy Absorbent Calcium bentonite provides effective moisture absorption at a lower price point than sodium bentonite. While it does not form tight clumps, it absorbs urine throughout the litter bed and requires full box replacement every 5–7 days. Ideal for budget-conscious consumers and shelter/kennel applications where volume usage is high.
Low Dust Formulations Advanced processing and granule screening reduce airborne dust to below 0.5%, minimizing respiratory irritation for both cats and their owners. Low-dust performance is particularly important for households with asthmatic cats or allergy-sensitive family members.
Blended Products Calcium bentonite can be blended with sodium bentonite, activated charcoal, baking soda, or fragrance additives to create mid-range products that balance clumping performance, odor control, and cost. Custom blends allow brand differentiation in competitive retail markets.
Product specifications:
- Granule size: 1.0–5.0 mm (standard), 0.5–2.0 mm (fine)
- Moisture content: ≤ 14%
- Absorption capacity: ≥ 200% of dry weight
- Dust content: ≤ 0.5%
- Available forms: crushed granules, spherical pellets
Target customers: Budget cat litter brands, animal shelters and rescue organizations, kennel and cattery operators, veterinary clinics, wholesale pet supply distributors.
Raw Bentonite for Cat Litter Manufacturing (Bulk Supply)
Crushed & Dried Feedstock Askangel supplies crushed and dried bentonite as raw material for cat litter manufacturers who perform final sizing, blending, and packaging at their own facilities. Consistent montmorillonite content and moisture levels ensure predictable processing and uniform end-product quality.
Custom Granulation Fractionated and dried bentonite in customer-specified size ranges (0.5–1.0 mm, 1.0–2.0 mm, 2.0–4.0 mm, etc.) reduces in-house processing requirements and accelerates time-to-market for new cat litter products.
White & Gray Grades Natural bentonite color grades allow manufacturers to create visually distinct products — white bentonite for premium lines and gray bentonite for standard/economy products — without artificial colorants.
Bulk supply options:
- Crushed and dried: 0–30 mm (raw feedstock for manufacturers)
- Fractionated and dried: custom size ranges per specification
- Minimum order: 20 tons (1 truck) or container loads
- Packaging: bulk (trucks, rail cars), big bags (500 kg, 1000 kg, 1250 kg)
Target customers: Cat litter manufacturers, pet care product companies with in-house processing, private label producers, industrial animal bedding companies.

Why Choose Askangel Bentonite
Advantages of Askangel Bentonite for Pet Care
High Montmorillonite Content 98.5% montmorillonite ensures maximum swelling and clumping performance per granule. Competitors from Turkey, Egypt, and India offer 70–85%, resulting in weaker clumps that crumble during scooping and inferior odor trapping over time.
Ultra-Low Dust Advanced processing and multi-stage screening deliver dust content below 0.5% — meeting the strictest requirements of premium cat litter brands. Low dust means cleaner homes, reduced respiratory irritation for cats and owners, and fewer product complaints at retail level.
Non-Toxic & Chemical-Free 100% natural clay with no chemical additives, colorants, or synthetic binders. Safe for cats, including kittens and breeds prone to pica. Free from heavy metals and harmful contaminants — certified safe for direct animal contact.
Customizable Granule Sizes Askangel offers multiple size fractions from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm, enabling customers to create differentiated products — fine granules for premium clumping lines, coarser granules for lightweight or economy ranges, and custom blends for unique market positioning.
Quality Consistency for Brand Reliability Askangel controls the entire cycle: proprietary deposit → enrichment → drying → crushing → screening. Each batch is laboratory-tested for absorption, swell index, granule size distribution, moisture, and dust before shipment — protecting your brand reputation with every bag sold.
Flexible Logistics & Private Label Support Bulk shipments (containers, trucks), big bags (500 kg, 1000 kg, 1250 kg), or finished retail-ready bags (5L, 10L, 20L) with customer branding. FOB Poti, DAP to your warehouse, CIF to destination port. OEM/ODM programs for turnkey private label production.
