  • Agglomerated animal litter
    Patent number: 8268018
    Abstract: Lightweight composite particles, primarily comprising various bentonite clays, but which may include other functional solid particles, are formed by introducing expanding gases or air into the particle forming process. The methods presented create the ability to reduce the bulk density of the composite particles while maintaining and in some cases even increasing the particle strength.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2012
    Assignee: The Clorox Company
    Inventors: Marc P. Privitera, Christina M. Borgese, David J. Lestage, Robert J. Iliff, Donald K. Swatling, Gregory van Buskirk

  • CLEANING SUBSTRATES WITH COMBINATIONAL ACTIVES
    Publication number: 20080095828
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide a method for treating a surface using a cleaning substrate. The cleaning substrate comprises a nonwoven web. The nonwoven web includes hydrophilic materials and chemical actives. The cleaning substrate provides a controlled release of the chemical actives on the surface to be cleaned. Additionally, the cleaning substrate provides a controlled and enhanced foam delivery to the surface being treated.

  • Clumping Animal Litter
    Publication number: 20070289543
    Abstract: Clumping animal litters containing composite particles with increased absorptivity and clump strength are disclosed. Reinforcing fiber materials are combined with a liquid-absorbing material to form composite particles suitable for use as animal litter. The reinforcing fiber materials add structural integrity to the liquid absorbent materials by acting in a manner similar to reinforcing bars (i.e., rebar) in concrete. The fibers need only be present in small percentages to show a consumer noticeable benefit.
