| Appearance | Uniform cylindrical, light cream | Mixed strips + granules | Irregular cylindrical, off-white | Mixed strips + spheres | Spherical gray/blue | Translucent beads | Irregular crushed |
| Moisture Content | ≤10% | ≤10% | ≤10% | ≤10% | ≤8% | ≤1% | ≤10% |
| Hardness (kg/cm²) | 8.5-10 | 9-11 | 9.5-11 | 11-13 | 12-15 | N/A | 7-9 |
| Clumping Performance | Firm clump ≤3s | Firm clump ≤2s | Firm clump ≤3s | Very firm ≤2s | Hard clump ≤1s | N/A (non-clumping) | Fast clump ≤2s |
| Drop Test (1m×10) | Pass (<5% breakage) | Good (<7% breakage) | Pass (<8% breakage) | Very good (<4% breakage) | Excellent (<2% breakage) | N/A (beads bounce) | Good (<10% breakage) |
| 12-Hour Stability | No disintegration | Stable | No disintegration | Very stable | Rock solid | Beads unchanged | Minor surface softening |
Raw material: Pea fiber (primarily from Shandong, China — the world's pea fiber hub).
Manufacturing process: 14-step precision process including 5-stage dedusting. NaturePure series by Gormeet achieves <0.5% dust rate.
| Grade | Absorption d'Eau | Temps d'Agglomération | Taux de Poussière |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade S (Premium) | >350% | 3-5 seconds | <1% |
| Grade A | 300-350% | 5-8 seconds | 1-2% |
| Grade B | 250-300% | 8-12 seconds | 2-3% |
| Grade C (Economy) | 200-250% | 12-15 seconds | 3-5% |
B2B Recommendation: Best choice for premium market positioning. MOQ 10 tons for all orders.
Raw material: Sodium bentonite clay (primarily from Inner Mongolia and Turkey).
Manufacturing process: Mining → crushing → drying → granulation → screening.
| Taille de Particule | Temps d'Agglomération | Taux de Poussière |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5-1.0mm (Fine) | 3-5 seconds | 8-15% |
| 1.0-2.0mm (Medium) | 5-8 seconds | 5-10% |
| 2.0-2.5mm (Coarse) | 8-12 seconds | 3-8% |
B2B Recommendation: Good for budget market, but declining in Europe due to environmental regulations. Consider transitioning to tofu or mixed.
Raw material: Silica gel (SiO₂·nH₂O) beads.
Manufacturing process: Sodium silicate solution → acidification → aging → washing → drying.
| Type | Capacité d'Absorption | Taux de Poussière | Fréquence de Remplacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Crystal | 80-100% weight | <0.5% | 3-4 weeks |
| Colored (Blue/Pink) | 100-120% weight | <0.3% | 4-5 weeks |
B2B Recommendation: Niche market for low-maintenance cat owners. Good margins but limited market size.
