I am a 4th-year Applied Chemistry student at Chulalongkorn University, currently developing a **clear liquid spray for cat litter deodorization**. My product aims to be used with `Odouraze` fragrance in a single bottle. I am looking for active ingredients that meet the following criteria: * **Safety**: Must be as safe as possible for pets. The spray will be applied to cat litter and allowed to dry completely before the pet uses it. * **Efficacy**: Highly effective against odors from `ammonia`, `amines`, and `sulfides`. * **Compatibility**: Must be compatible with `Odouraze` fragrance, meaning it should not absorb or diminish the fragrance. It must also maintain the **clarity** of the formula. * **Formulation Restrictions**: Should not be an oxidizer, and I want to avoid `quats`, `silver`, powders that cause cloudiness, and strong oils. If possible, please recommend 1-2 most suitable options and provide the following details for each: 1. **Technical Information**: * Recommended usage percentage. * Stable pH range. * Compatibility with `Odouraze` + `Ultra Solve/Propylene Glycol (PG)`. * Effect on formula **clarity**. 2. **Commercial Information**: * SDS/TDS/COA documents. * Packaging sizes and pricing. * Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). * Delivery time. 3. **Pre-blended Deodorizers**: If there are any pre-blended deodorizing agents specifically designed to be compatible with fragrances (i.e., not absorbing the scent), please recommend them. 4. **Labeling and Use Instructions**: Any guidance on appropriate labeling and use instructions for a product intended for cat litter to ensure pet safety would be greatly appreciated.
