Многие потребители считают, что если это наполнитель для кошачьего туалета стабильного качества, то его использование в течение всего года не должно сильно отличаться.
Однако для заводов, которые долгое время занимаются производством и экспортом наполнителей для кошачьих туалетов, сезонные изменения, безусловно, будут влиять на фактические характеристики наполнителя.
В процессе долгосрочного сотрудничества между LOVE SAND и зарубежными клиентами, потребности клиентов зачастую совершенно различаются в разных странах, климатических условиях и временах года.
Покупатели в Юго-Восточной Азии обычно уделяют больше внимания проблеме агломерации и запаха во влажной среде; европейские покупатели будут больше внимания уделять зимней пыли и статическому электричеству; покупатели на Ближнем Востоке будут ориентироваться на дезодорирующие свойства в условиях высоких температур.
Эти проблемы не случайны.
Сам по себе кошачий наполнитель является адсорбционным продуктом, и на конечный результат его использования влияют такие факторы, как сырье, влажность воздуха, условия хранения и транспортировки.
Поэтому по-настоящему профессиональная фабрика по производству кошачьего наполнителя уделяет внимание не только самому производству, но и должна корректировать структуру продукта, схему упаковки и направление OEM-производства в соответствии с различными рынками и климатическими условиями.
Для импортеров понимание того факта, что «сезонная динамика влияет на качество кошачьего наполнителя», также может помочь им выбирать продукцию более разумно.
Почему летом во влажной среде чаще возникают проблемы?
Лето — относительно период высокой концентрации жалоб в индустрии наполнителей для кошачьих туалетов.
Особенно в регионах с высокой температурой и влажностью многие потребители сталкиваются со следующими проблемами:
- Наполнитель размягчается.
- Запах становится более выраженным.
- Наполнитель быстро намокает.
- Срок службы сокращается.
На самом деле, многие из этих проблем связаны с влажностью окружающей среды.
Одна из основных функций самого наполнителя для кошачьих туалетов — впитывание жидкости.
Когда влажность воздуха очень высока, наполнитель для кошачьих туалетов заранее впитывает влагу из окружающей среды.
В случае с тофу-наполнителем высокая влажность может привести к преждевременному размягчению частиц.
В случае с бентонитовым наполнителем, после длительного намокания, также может ухудшиться прочность агломерации.
Why do Southeast Asian markets pay more attention to moisture-proof performance?
Among LOVE SAND’s export customers, Southeast Asian market usually requires higher moisture-proof performance of packaging.
Because the local area has been in a high temperature and humid environment for a long time. If the packaging is not airtight enough, the product may absorb moisture in advance in the process of shipping.
Therefore, many customers will require:
* Thicker packaging materials
* Stronger sealing structure
* PE inner film packaging
* Tray wrapped film protection
Although consumers usually don’t pay attention to these details, they are very important for long-term stable sales.
Why are dust problems more likely to occur in winter?
Many consumers will find that the same cat litter seems to be “more prone to dust” in winter.
In fact, this is related to air drying and electrostatic increase.
When the air humidity decreases in winter, the friction between particles will become more obvious.
Coupled with the vibration during transportation, some particles are easy to produce fine powder.
Therefore, the demand for low-dust cat litter in winter market is usually higher.
Transportation will also affect dust performance.
Many customers mistakenly believe that the dust problem is only related to production.
But in fact, the transportation process will also affect the final dust performance.
Например:
- The container vibrates for a long time
- Tray extrusion
- Insufficient packaging protection
- The particle strength is unstable
These factors will lead to particle breakage during transportation.
Therefore, LOVE SAND will pay more attention to:
* particle screening
* Dust control
* Compressive capacity of packaging (thickness)
* Pallet stability
Because the real product experience is not only “when the factory ships”, but when the consumer opens the package.
Why does hot weather make the odor more obvious?
The most direct feeling of many consumers in summer is that cat litter pots are more likely to stink.
The reason is actually very simple.
High temperature will accelerate bacterial reproduction, but also accelerate the release of ammonia flavor.
This means that cat litter needs to lock in liquids and odors faster.
If the adsorption speed is insufficient, the odor will spread rapidly.
Why is activated carbon cat litter becoming more and more popular?
In recent years, more and more customers began to pay attention to the formula of activated carbon.
Because activated carbon has stronger adsorption capacity for odor.
Especially in:
* Multi-cat families
* Small apartment
* High temperature areas in summer
This advantage will be more obvious.
In LOVE SAND, bentonite cat litter with activated carbon has become an important product direction for many OEM customers.
Compared with relying solely on fragrance to cover odor, more and more consumers now prefer real adsorption deodorization.

Why does the storage environment affect the properties of cat litter?
Many importers will ignore the storage problem.
But in fact, even if the product itself is stable in quality, if the storage environment is not good, it will also affect the final performance.
Frequently asked questions include:
* The warehouse is damp.
* Direct sunlight
* The tray is damaged
* Long-term stacking pressure
* Poor ventilation
These problems will affect the packaging stability and product freshness.
Tofu cat litter is more sensitive to storage environment.
Наполнитель для кошачьего туалета из тофу is usually more sensitive to humidity than bentonite cat litter.
So many customers will ask:
* stronger moisture-proof packaging
* stricter warehouse management
* Shorter inventory cycle
This is why more and more OEM customers are beginning to pay attention to the “transportation+warehousing overall solution”.
In order to reduce the pressure on suppliers to restock as much as possible, LOVE SAND recommends the use of vacuum tofu cat litter, and the outer carton of cat litter is made of five layers of corrugated paper, which can effectively prevent moisture.
Different markets will adjust the product structure according to the season.
In LOVE SAND, many long-term cooperative customers do not sell the same product all year round.
They will adjust the product direction according to the seasonal changes.
Например:
Summer:
Strong deodorizing product
Activated carbon series
Rapid agglomeration series
Winter:
Low dust series
Product with stronger particle stability
Rainy season:
Moisture-proof packaging upgrade
Higher sealing packaging
This approach can help brands maintain a more stable consumer experience throughout the year.
Why do factories pay more and more attention to climate differences?
With the increasingly fierce competition in the global market, it is no longer enough to simply provide “standard products”.
More and more importers began to demand:
- Adjust products according to regions.
- Adjust packaging according to climate.
- Adjust specifications according to sales channels
Therefore, factories not only produce products, but also need to understand the market.
At LOVE SAND, many OEM projects are discussed in advance:
- Sales country
- Local climate: and recommend suitable packaging.
- Storage conditions
- E-commerce or offline
- Consumer preference
We will recommend hot-selling products, hot-selling fragrance and size according to your sales market, so as to help you enter the market quickly.
This information will directly affect the final product plan.
Cat litter is not a “year-round” product.
Climate, humidity, transportation and storage will all affect properties of cat litter and the end-use experience.
A truly professional factory not only produces cat litter itself, but also needs to understand the real needs of different markets in different seasons.
For importers, it is often more important to choose factories that can understand climate differences, packaging needs and transportation environment than simply pursuing low prices.
In LOVE SAND, we will provide products and OEM solutions that are more suitable for the local environment according to the characteristics of the customer market.
This is also an important reason why more and more overseas customers begin to attach importance to long-term cooperation.
