Zeolite Odor Control

Air fresheners or perfumes can only remove the smell from the environment for a short time. Zeolite, on the other hand, eliminates the source of the odor.

Zeolite, due to its naturally porous structure and ion exchange cation trapping properties, takes up and removes the bad smells from the farm and barns. The foul odors are produced mostly by the conversion of ammonium into ammonia gas.

Zeolite odor control works by soaking up the moisture from the animal excrement and removal of ammonium by trapping it into the seize like structure before it turns into a gas. The ions are held up in the crystalline mineral structure and are not water soluble.

The mineral added in the cat and other animals litter boxes can be disposed of into the gardens and lawns in the plant beds, zeolite absorbs and slowly releases the nitrogen and other nutrients in the waste to the plant acting as a slow-release intelligent fertilizer and aerating agent.

Zeolite effectiveness in Odor Control:

Zeolite odor control is preferred because it doesn’t only mask the odor but removes it from the environment, unlike an air freshener or perfume. The mineral with its crystal-like structure containing many pores traps the foul odors in its form through cation exchange and removes them from the surrounding environment.

Zeolite is effective in odor control because it has a seize like structure that absorbs liquids and, in the process, the suspended particles, gases and matter are adsorbed along with the liquid and trapped within the porous structure.

The two properties of absorption and adsorption work together to control noxious odors in animal waste areas.

Zeolite removes the moisture and liquid content in the waste and also traps the always converting ammonium and ammonia gas along with the liquids, ammonia is produced by microbial activity.

The mineral also doesn’t produce slipperiness on the surface. It is used even when it soaks up water and moisture. This makes zeolite suitable for use on all types of floors and surfaces.

Clinoptilolite mineral also eases the cleaning of damp and moist places such as barns and the basement by soaking up the moisture and water. You don’t have to dry the area before cleaning as the application of zeolite automatically removes all moisture and odor and dries up the place to be cleaned.

Zeolite is non-hazardous, and no reactions have been reported to date. It is not harmful to animals or humans. It doesn’t cause hypersensitivity or chemical sensitivity. Even if ingested, it is harmless for every living creature. This makes zeolite suitable for a wide range of usage without any concern as it is not flammable too.

Benefits according to Applications:

1. Barn deodorizing:

It removes ammonium and liquid wastes in the barn. This way, it controls the odor and fly population too. It is generally regarded as safe for both humans and animals for use. It removes gases and makes the environment better for animals as it removes stress from them and makes it better for the workers too.

2. Cat litter boxes:

Effectively removes odors by eliminating the liquid content from the waste. It provides sufficient clumping easy clean up. The litter can be used in the lawns or plants as a fertilizer. It is completely safe for pets and is non-carcinogenic.

3. Stall Air Freshener:

Zeolite odor control helps by removing ammonia and absorbing moisture from horse waste. It removes bacteria and pathogens from the air and, in return, prevents the animal from getting respiratory complications. Improves bedding quality and controls fly population. Horse hoof problems are reduced.

It is non-hazardous, non-carcinogenic, and entirely safe for any kind of use as if it contains no artificial additives. Beneficial in soil amendment and provides high surface traction.

4. Household Odor control:

The normal household requires odor control too. Zeolite controls odors produced from smoke, shoes, pets, compost, and rotting food. It is also helpful in maintaining smells from refrigerators and freezers. Carpets, rugs, cloth laundry and diaper storage foul smells can be removed by zeolite odor control. Fluid spills on floors can be absorbed by zeolite use.

It is natural and contains no artificial additives that make it safe for usage in houses and on any surface.
