SLURRY OF MICROCAPSULES USED IN PRODUCTION OF ODOR CONTROL ANIMAL LITTER

摘要

Most conventional animal litters develop malodors fairly quickly. An animal litter as described herein selectively releases an odor masking component in response to agitation of the litter by an animal. The animal litter comprises absorbant particles having microcapsules affixed to exterior surfaces of at least some of the absorbant particles. The microcapsules encapsulate the odor masking component, which is released when the microcapsules are ruptured. The novel feature herein is a slurry of the microcapsules used in the production of the litter.
