Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An excrement treatment material is composed of a grain that has a water-repellent property. The grain contains a water-absorbent material as a first main material, and contains gypsum as a second main material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . An excrement treatment material composed of a grain that has a water-repellent property, wherein the grain contains a water-absorbent material as a first main material, and contains gypsum as a second main material, and wherein the grain has a water-repellent rate of 80% or more. 2 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 , wherein the water-absorbent material is an organic substance. 3 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 2 , wherein the water-absorbent material is recycled paper. 4 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the water-absorbent material with respect to the grain is from 51% to 56%. 5 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the gypsum with respect to the grain is from 38% to 42%. 6 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 , wherein the grain contains a sub-material in addition to the first main material and the second main material. 7 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 6 , wherein the grain contains an adhesive as the sub-material. 8 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive is cornstarch. 9 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 6 , wherein the grain contains colorant as the sub-material. 10 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 9 , wherein the colorant is chalk powder. 11 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 6 , wherein the grain contains a water-repellent agent as the sub-material. 12 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 11 , wherein the water-repellent agent is paraffin. 13 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 6 , wherein the grain contains a deodorizing antimicrobial agent as the sub-material. 14 . The excrement treatment material according to claim 13 , wherein the deodorizing antimicrobial agent is copper sulfate or catechin powder. 15 . A method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material composed of a grain that has a water-repellent property, the method comprising: a grain forming step of forming the grain that contains a water-absorbent material as a first main material, and contains gypsum as a second main material, wherein the grain has a water-repellent rate of 80% or more. 16 . The method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material according to claim 15 , wherein the water-absorbent material is an organic substance. 17 . The method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material according to claim 16 , wherein the water-absorbent material is recycled paper. 18 . The method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material according to claim 15 , wherein in the grain forming step, the grain is formed that contains a sub-material in addition to the first main material and the second main material. 19 . The method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material according to claim 18 , wherein in the grain forming step, the grain is formed that contains an adhesive as the sub-material. 20 . The method for manufacturing an excrement treatment material according to claim 18 , wherein in the grain forming step, the grain is formed that contains colorant as the sub-material.
