Abstract
Antimicrobial and odor control animal-related material compositions used to form animal litter or bedding include a base material and a halo active aromatic sulfonamide compound of Formula (I): wherein the variables R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, X, and M are disclosed herein. The resulting animal litter or bedding maintain antimicrobial and odor-controlling properties over extended time periods.
Claims20
An antimicrobial and odor-reducing animal litter, comprising:
- an absorbent base material;
- and
- a halo active aromatic sulfonamide compound of Formula (I):
- wherein R1, R2, R4, and R5 are independently selected from hydrogen, COOR′, CON(R″)2, alkoxy, CN, NO2, SO3R″, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, sulfonamide, halosulfonamide, N(R″)2, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic;
- and
- wherein R3 is COOH, COOM1, COOR′, or CON(R″)2;
- wherein R′ is hydrogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, substituted C1-C18 alkyl, or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl;
- and
- wherein R″ is hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, where the two R″ groups in CON(R″)2 and N(R″)2 may be independently selected from each other;
- X is halogen;
- and
- M and M1 are independently an alkali or alkaline earth metal.
