Quick Answer

Bentonite cat litter is a clay-based litter made from natural sodium bentonite (SiO₂ ≥ 65%). Our standard ball grade GOR-NB-112A forms firm, non-breaking clumps within 3 seconds, absorbs ≥ 300% of its own weight and keeps dust at ≤ 0.5%. MOQ: 10 tons. Ideal for mass-market brands and high-volume retail. → Aligns with the #1 purchase driver: "safe for my cat & family."

✅ Best For

Mass-market / value brand positioning
High-volume retail (supermarkets, big-box)
Markets where clumping strength is priority #1 → Easy scooping means higher perceived quality & repeat purchases.
Budget-conscious importers

⚠️ Not Recommended For

Eco-friendly or flushable product lines → Premium eco-positioning that commands 15–25% higher retail price point.
Markets banning clay litter (some EU cities)
Premium natural product positioning → Aligns with the #1 purchase driver: "safe for my cat & family."

Particle Size Ranges

Bentonite is formed by rolling clay into spherical particles, not extrusion. Particle size is controlled by sieving into ranges.

Particle Size Range	Clumping	Dust	Best For	Ideal Buyer Type
Fine 0.5–1.5 mm	Firm clumps within 3s	≤ 0.5%	Tighter clumps, reduced tracking	Premium bentonite lines
Standard 1–3 mm★ RECOMMENDED	Firm clumps within 3s	≤ 0.5%	Best cost-performance balance. Most popular choice.	Mainstream importers & distributors in value-focused markets
Coarse 2–4 mm	Firm clumps within 3s	≤ 0.5%	Low-tracking, cleanliness-focused positioning	Buyers prioritizing cleanliness

ⓘ Why No Fixed Diameter Options?

Bentonite is made by rolling clay into spherical beads, not extruding through dies like plant-based litters (tofu/cassava). This means particle size is controlled by sieving into ranges, not by selecting a fixed diameter. If your market requires precise cylindrical pellets with selectable diameters (1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0 mm), consider our NaturePure™ Tofu Cat Litter instead.

Two Bentonite Grades: Ball & Crushed

Both grades are natural sodium bentonite, available for OEM and private label. Values are production baselines — bulk density may vary slightly by mine and batch, and is tested batch by batch for volume orders.

ⓘ Which Grade Fits Your Market?

Ball bentonite is the proven mass-market choice with balanced cost and performance. Crushed bentonite offers near-zero dust and higher absorption for premium positioning. Not sure? Request samples of both grades and test them side by side, or ask for a quote.

ORDER CONTROL

Order Quality Control & Batch Consistency

Consistent quality across every shipment is what separates a reliable supplier from a risky one. Every Gormeet order is governed by a 6-point batch control system — from raw material intake to container loading.

Batch Tracking System

Every production lot receives a unique batch ID linked to raw material source, production line, date, and operator — full forward and backward traceability.

QC at Every Stage

Quality checkpoints at raw material intake, in-process production, finished goods, and pre-shipment — no stage skips, no exceptions.

Hold & Release

Finished goods are quarantined in a hold zone until lab tests pass. Only the QC manager can authorize release — failed batches never ship.

COA with Every Shipment

Each container includes a Certificate of Analysis with actual test values for all 7 dimensions — not just a pass/fail, but real data you can verify.

Tolerance Standard

Pre-defined tolerance ranges for every metric. If any value falls outside spec, the batch is held — no negotiated exceptions, no "close enough" shipments.

Customer Sample Retention

Retained samples from every batch kept for 12 months. If a customer reports a quality issue, we test the retained sample against the complaint — accountability built in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from importers and brand owners about bentonite cat litter.

Q: Why is bentonite so much cheaper than tofu or cassava?

Bentonite is natural mined clay — raw material costs are a fraction of processed plant fibers. It is the most accessible material across all cat litter types, making it ideal for high-volume, value-focused markets.

Q: Can bentonite cat litter be flushed down the toilet?

No. Bentonite is clay-based and does NOT dissolve in water. Flushing will cause clogging. Always clearly label packaging as non-flushable to protect buyers from plumbing issues.

Q: What markets are best suited for bentonite?

Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam), Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), and Eastern Europe. These markets prioritize cost and clumping performance over low-dust and flushability requirements.

Q: What is the difference between bentonite and mixed litter?

Pure bentonite (dust ≤ 0.5%) is the most accessible material and is not flushable. Mixed litter combines tofu and bentonite to balance cost, dust and clumping — also not flushable. Choose based on your buyers' priorities.

Q: Can I customize particle size, scent, and packaging?

Yes — we offer 3 particle size ranges, 5 standard scents plus custom fragrance (unscented, lavender, lemon, baby powder, green tea), optional activated carbon or baking soda additives, and custom packaging with your logo (MOQ 10 tons for printed bags).

Q: What MOQ and lead time should I expect?

Standard and OEM orders: MOQ 10 tons per formula. Lead time depends on formula, packaging and order volume — confirmed in your quote before production. We ship promptly after production and QC release.
