   Technical Data

ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT
iso-BLOX supply an adjunct environmental enrichment to natural beddings. Rodents are highly motivated to shred iso-BLOX to achieve a cotton ball consistency that other natural beddings do not provide. Shredding provides the animals with natural enrichment material to produce a comfortable nest-like environment, ideal for rearing young. The short cotton fibers of the iso-BLOX will not endanger rodents that are put at risk with long-fibered products.

COLOR AND CONSISTENCY
The bright white color aids in the observation of animal discharges. The soft cotton material is both comfortable and highly absorbent.

HIGH TECH PRODUCT
The nature of the product virtually eliminates variables associated with similar products. iso-BLOX are produced from pure cotton fibers that are an FDA-approved raw material for use in human medical products and food production. iso-BLOX are hypoallergenic.

CONTROLLED MANUFACTURING
iso-BLOX are produced in a certified ISO-9001 facility. The highly controlled processes assures a consistent, defined and certified product with a low biocontaminent load.

AVAILABILITY
