Problems solved by technology

However, the silica gel that absorbs a lot of urine remains in the toilet container, which is unhygienic and a cause of bad smell
[0008] In addition, since the granular materials constituting the sanitary sand described in Patent Document 2 are non-absorbent, urine and the like cannot pass through the granular materials and remain on the surface of the granular materials. This residual urine is corrupted and produces a bad smell, which is also a problem.
Furthermore, since a small amount of water in the feces that cannot form a water flow cannot pass through the sanitary sand, the odor of the feces may also remain.
Therefore, it is necessary to discard the contaminated part of the sanitary sand every time the pet excretes, or replace all the sanitary sand once every 1 or 2 weeks. In addition, not only the sanitary sand, but also the absorbent pad must be replaced with a new one, so that The problem of generating a lot of garbage

Embodiment

[0068] Liquid passing experiments were carried out using the sanitary sand of the present invention. Experimental methods are described below. First, the sanitary sand (sample 1) of the present invention, commercially available sanitary sand (sample 2) and the sanitary sand (sample 3) whose surface is all hydrophobic are covered successively in a grate-shaped container with a depth of 30 mm. Next, the grate-shaped container containing the above-mentioned substance to be tested is placed on a pet mat whose weight has been measured in advance. Next, 20 cc of physiological saline was dripped over a period of about 10 seconds from a height of about 30 mm. After standing for about 15 seconds, the weight of the pet mat after absorbing water was measured. Calculate the liquid throughput.

[0069] The results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Table 1 that the liquid throughput of sample 1 and sample 3 increased by about 5% compared with sample 2, but the water droplets of ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a toilet sand used for toilet for animals, suppressing occurrence of odor emitted by excrement left in the toilet sand and to a toilet using the sand. The toilet sand for animals is constituted of a plurality of particulates and is equipped with first particulates having water repellency and second particulates having water-absorbing properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sanitary sand for animals used as litter materials for animals such as cats and dogs. Background technique [0002] As a toilet for animals such as cats and dogs kept indoors, sanitary litter made of granular materials called "cat litter" is placed in a plastic box-shaped container and used. Excreta such as urine excreted by animals is absorbed by such sanitary litter. The owner removes the sanitary sand contaminated by urine or feces from the container together with the feces, and replenishes new sanitary sand according to the removed part. However, cats have the habit of stirring the litter with their paws after excretion, and sometimes the litter with urine or feces attached will adhere to their paws. Also, since the contaminated sanitary sand is diffused, it is difficult to completely remove only the contaminated part. [0003] Sanitary sand used in the above-mentioned toilets includes mineral zeolite or river sand, or...
