DeltaSec
is an exclusive new release. It is a scented dryer litter conditioner for use in stables and horse-boxes while in transit. DeltaSec is made from natural ingredients, and is more economical and absorbent than other leading brands.
DeltaSec’s main strength lies in its powers of absorbency. It has the capacity to absorb between 2 and 3 litres of water per kilo of white powder, while other leading brands manage less than half of this volume. This makes DeltaSec more economical in two respects – firstly, its ability to absorb water helps to reduce the amount of other types of bedding (straw, sawdust) that need to be used with it, and secondly, less DeltaSec itself is needed to do the same job as a competitor product.
DeltaSec also takes part in keeping horses healthy in other ways besides its absorbency. Its essential oils of Eucalyptus and Camphor scent and purify the air to reduce the possibility of respiratory disorders and prevent the production of bacteria that can be harmful to the health of the horse. Extracts of Yucca are also included in DeltaSec’s composition to help neutralise ammonia in the atmosphere, and DeltaSec also helps to repel insects which may cause harm to the horse. DeltaSec’s non-toxic status also ensures that there is no risk of illness to the horse if the product should be swallowed, and because DeltaSec takes on a granulated form when saturated, there is no risk of the horse slipping and becoming injured on a wet floor.
DeltaSec is also an environmentally friendly product, as it is phosphorus-free and biodegradable. It can be safely spread without gloves or other equipment, and once it has been saturated and takes on its granular form, it can be easily disposed of.
