Stall Dry Absorbent and Deodorizer

What is Stall DRY?

An all natural blend of Diatomaceous Earth and Calcium Montmorillonite.

• Possesses a CEC ranging between 40 to 47.
• Able to attract and bind positively charged ions.
• Can absorb 125% of its own weight in liquid.
• Has an average pH of 6.

What’s Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)?

• Material’s ability to attract and bind positively charged ions known as cations.
• This ability to attract and bind ions is known as Adsorption.
• The higher the CEC, the more cations a material can hold.

The pH of a substance is a measure of how acidic or basic (alkaline) it is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with a pH of 7 being neutral. With a pH of 6 our Stall DRY® is able to neutralize ammonia when applied topically.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

HOW DOES STALL DRY ABSORBENT & DEODORIZER WORK?

• It absorbs moisture and urine, controls odors and helps to reduce the harmful effects of ammonia. As a result of controlling odors and ammonia, you will notice a reduction of flies in stalls and pens. Made from a natural diatomaceous earth deposit enhanced with montmorillonite clay (also known as calcium bentonite), this product can absorb more than its own weight in liquid. It also has a low pH, allowing it to attract and neutralize ammonia molecules. When sprinkled over bedding, it will absorb moisture from the bedding, keeping it dryer so the bedding can be used longer.

HOW DO I APPLY STALL DRY ABSORBENT AND DEODORIZER?

• Sprinkle a light coat over the stall floor (wood, concrete, dirt etc). Spread additional Stall DRY on wet spots until the surface is dry. Leave this in place. Finally, place the bedding in the stall.
• Daily, as you are cleaning the stall, take out the solids and sprinkle about 16 oz on the wet spots. Allow a short time to dry and put the bedding back in the stall. As a result, the bedding will usually last an extra day or so.
• Sprinkle on manure piles regularly to reduce flies.

IS IT SAFE TO USE WITH ALL ANIMALS?

• Yes, it is completely safe to be used with all types of animals. Please note, this does not include reptiles or amphibians.

CAN IT BE COMPOSTED?

When contained in compost and added to the garden, Stall DRY can also help to aerate the soil and will act as a natural insecticide.
• Mixed with water, Stall DRY has a pH of approximately 6 while pure water has a pH of 7 or 8. Therefore adding Stall DRY to your compost and garden will not affect the pH of the soil too drastically and will not harm your plants (unless they are highly sensitive to changes in pH).
• Please note: any end-product meant for human consumption that has come in contact with Stall DRY should be washed well before being consumed. This is due to the fact that government regulations state that no food grade diatomaceous earth should be present in any end-product that is meant for human consumption.
