Bentonite Cat Litter VS Activated Carbon Bentonite Cat Litter
Activated carbon sand and ordinary ball sand have significant differences in composition, characteristics, application areas, advantages and disadvantages. The choice of material depends on the specific usage scenario and needs.

Bentonite Cat Litter VS Activated Carbon Bentonite Cat Litter


There are significant differences between activated carbon cat litter and ordinary cat litter in many aspects. 

Here is a detailed comparison between the two:

Main ingredients:


Activated carbon cat litter is based on traditional cat litter, with a certain amount of activated carbon added. 

Activated carbon is a natural substance with adsorption properties. Its microporous structure can effectively absorb 

harmful substances and odors in the air, thereby achieving a deodorizing effect.



Advantages:


Good deodorizing effect: 

Due to the adsorption of activated carbon, the deodorizing effect of activated carbon cat litter is far better than that of ordinary cat litter.

Good foot feel: 

The particles of activated carbon cat litter are usually designed to be more comfortable, and cats feel good when stepping on them.

Good water absorption: 

It can quickly absorb cat urine and reduce the spread of odor.

Strong wrapping: 

The particles are small and can cover the cat's feces well, keeping the cat litter box clean.

Almost dust-free: 

Due to the addition of auxiliary ingredients (such as corn starch, coconut shell powder, etc.), 

activated carbon cat litter produces less dust during use, which is more beneficial to the respiratory health of cats.



Disadvantages:


Higher price: Activated carbon cat litter is usually more expensive than ordinary cat litter.

Cannot be flushed into the toilet: Due to the material characteristics of activated carbon cat litter, 

it cannot be flushed directly into the toilet, otherwise it may cause blockage and needs to be put into a garbage bag and thrown into the trash can.

Although ordinary cat litter has a certain adsorption effect, its deodorizing effect is not as obvious as that of activated carbon cat litter.



Advantages:


Relatively low price: Ordinary cat litter has a low manufacturing cost, so the price is relatively affordable.

Widely used: Ordinary cat litter has a large share of the market due to its affordable price and easy access.


Disadvantages:


Weak deodorizing effect: 

Compared with activated carbon cat litter, ordinary cat litter has a poor deodorizing effect and 

needs to be replaced more frequently to keep the cat litter box clean.

Easy to generate dust: 

Ordinary cat litter is more likely to generate dust during use, which may affect the respiratory health of cats.

Poor wrapping: 

Some ordinary cat litters have large particles or irregular shapes, which may not wrap cat feces well.



There are significant differences between activated carbon cat litter and ordinary cat litter in terms of main ingredients, 

deodorizing effect, foot feel, water absorption, encapsulation, dust generation, and price.


Choosing which cat litter depends on the specific needs and budget of the cat owner. If you pursue better deodorizing effect 

and cat's respiratory health, and the budget allows, activated carbon cat litter is a good choice.


If the budget is limited or you pay more attention to cost-effectiveness, ordinary cat litter is also a viable choice.
