Mined from premium Xinjiang deposits, precision-processed for ultra-hard clumping, near-zero dust, and lasting odor control. The global bestseller — factory-direct with full OEM/ODM support.
While sodium bentonite remains the global gold standard for clumping performance, not all bentonite is created equal. At PreCat, we bridge the gap between raw material potential and engineered excellence. The technical profile below provides a transparent look at our premium formulation's performance. Each metric is the result of standardized stress-testing in our facility, ensuring that the clumping strength, particle distribution, and ammonia absorption you see on paper are exactly what your customers experience in the tray. We don't just follow industry standards; we define them through measurable data.
Full COA, SGS report, and MSDS available on request. Custom spec sheets for OEM clients provided free of charge.

We believe transparent information builds better business relationships. Here's an objective view to help you position this product correctly in your market.
Proven across 50+ markets, trusted by cats and their owners for generations. Here's what sets our formulation apart.
Sodium bentonite's natural swelling property creates the hardest, most reliable clumps of any cat litter type. Our ore is sourced exclusively from high-grade deposits with a montmorillonite content of ≥85%, delivering consistent clumping performance across every batch.
Standard bentonite litter is notoriously dusty. Our three-stage processing — wet screening, vibration sieving, and compressed air purging — removes fine particles far below the industry average, protecting both cats and their owners from respiratory irritation.
The moment bentonite clumps around waste, it physically seals in odor molecules. Our optional activated carbon additive amplifies this effect, adsorbing ammonia at the molecular level rather than covering it with fragrance.
Our sodium bentonite absorbs 2–2.5× its own weight in liquid, meaning less litter is used per scoop event. This directly lowers the effective cost-per-use for consumers — a powerful retail selling point that justifies a premium price.
Bentonite is the only litter type accepted by virtually every litter box design on the market — from basic open trays to fully automated self-cleaning units. Its predictable behavior makes it the safest choice for first-time cat owners and multi-cat households.
Help your buyers make confident decisions with a clear, honest comparison across the key purchase criteria.

Sodium bentonite ore tested for montmorillonite content (≥85%), heavy metals, and moisture before entering the plant. Rejected batches are returned to supplier.
Ore is crushed, screened, and formed into precise granule sizes. Low-temperature belt drying (≤80°C) preserves swelling capacity without degrading the clay structure.
Wet screen → vibration sieve → compressed air purge. Dust rate tested every 2 hours during production. Batches exceeding 0.5% are reprocessed.
Clumping strength, moisture, dust, pH, and heavy metal panel tested before every shipment. COA issued per lot. Third-party SGS inspection available on request.
Our bentonite is sourced exclusively from high-grade sodium bentonite deposits in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia — regions renowned for producing ore with the highest montmorillonite content in China. The ore is transported directly to our Linyi processing facility, eliminating middlemen and ensuring traceability from mine to bag.
Our 4 dedicated bentonite production lines run 24/5, processing up to 6,000 tonnes per month. Each line is calibrated quarterly by our QC team to maintain granule size consistency within ±0.2mm across every batch.
From granule size to bag design, every element is fully customizable. Launch your own label with confidence backed by 20 years of manufacturing expertise.
Six formats spanning every retail and wholesale channel.
