Core offering

Bear River Zeolite Co. mines and processes natural clinoptilolite zeolite (85-95% purity) from its Preston, Idaho deposit and sells it in bulk (1-ton minimum) and in packaged forms across agriculture, industrial, and household applications. The product line includes multiple mesh sizes, surface-modified zeolite variants, and branded consumer sub-products such as Cattleprime (feed additive), Grizzly Grip (winter traction), PURRfectly Natural Kitty Litter, Odor Eliminator, Floor Clean & Deodorizer, Algae Eater, Horse Stall & Trailer, and Artificial Grass Infill.

Product overview

Bear River Zeolite (BRZ) is a mining and production company that extracts and processes high-grade natural clinoptilolite zeolite from its mine in Preston, Idaho. The core product is BRZ Zeolite, which is 85–95% pure clinoptilolite with a Mohs hardness of 3.5–4, high CEC (180–220 meq/100g), and water absorption of >55% by weight. BRZ Zeolite is the foundational material sold across all product lines. The company offers BRZ Cattleprime as a dedicated animal nutrition/flow agent product. Across the household segment, the company markets BRZ Grizzly Grip (traction control), BRZ PURRfectly Natural Kitty Litter, BRZ Odor Eliminator, BRZ Floor Clean & Deodorizer, BRZ Algae Eater, and BRZ Horse Stall & Trailer as branded consumer products. The industrial segment relies on unbranded BRZ Zeolite mesh products sold by particle size grade for applications including water filtration, air filtration, odor control, pozzolan, remediation, mining, nuclear remediation, oil & gas, and landscaping. The company is OMRI Listed and AAFCO/AAFCO-compliant for organic and feed use.

Products and services

• BRZ Zeolite (Natural Clinoptilolite) High-grade natural clinoptilolite zeolite (85-95% purity) mined in Preston, Idaho, with CEC 180-220 meq/100g, surface area ~24.9 m²/g, and water absorption >55% of weight. Sold as the foundational bulk material across agriculture, industrial, and household applications.
• BRZ Cattleprime Zeolite-based flow agent and feed additive for animal nutrition, leveraging high CEC to bind ammonium, support beneficial rumen microorganisms, reduce pH, and improve livestock health and feed utilization. Sold in bulk.
• BRZ Zeolite Mesh Size Grades Multiple mesh-grade zeolite products matched to specific application verticals including animal feed, soil amendment, composting, anaerobic digestion, pelletizing, odor control, water and air filtration, environmental cleanup, animal litter, synthetic turf infill, nuclear remediation, carrier use, landscaping, traction, aquarium, and multimedia filter beds.
• BRZ Grizzly Grip Winter traction product for ice and snow removal that absorbs up to 55% of its weight in water, turns dark green when moist to absorb radiant heat for melting, and prevents refreeze. Non-toxic and non-corrosive to concrete, rebar, and vehicles, unlike chloride-based de-icers.
• BRZ PURRfectly Natural Kitty Litter Pet litter product using clinoptilolite zeolite's moisture and odor absorption properties to control odors in litter boxes.
• BRZ Odor Eliminator Household cleaning and deodorizing product in bag form for placement in moisture- or odor-prone areas; absorbs moisture to inhibit mold and mildew odor development.
• BRZ Floor Clean & Deodorizer Household product for workshops and garages that absorbs solvents, fluids, oils, and their associated odors, including emergency situations such as sewage backup.
• BRZ Algae Eater Pond treatment product that adsorbs nitrogen (ammonium) buildup, removing the nutrients algae need for growth to control algae in ponds.
• BRZ Horse Stall & Trailer Animal product that prevents odors and absorbs moisture in horse stalls and trailers with no additives; ammonium from urine and manure is adsorbed and held in the zeolite, and the spent material can be recycled as fertilizer.
• BRZ Clinoptilolite Zeolite Artificial Grass Infill Artificial grass infill that provides weight to hold artificial grass in place; the natural green clinoptilolite enhances grass appearance, is durable, helps regulate temperature and moisture, and eliminates pet odors and yellow staining.

Others

• United States Antimony Corporation: U.S. mining company that appears alongside Bear River Zeolite in product disclaimers, suggesting a corporate or distribution relationship. Relevant as a potential affiliated/partner entity for understanding BRZ's corporate structure and indirect channel.

Emerging players

• Apyron Technologies: Specialty zeolite-based product developer for water purification and emissions control applications. Comparable as a smaller specialty player using zeolite media for environmental remediation.
• International Zeolite Corp. Canadian junior company developing natural zeolite applications for agriculture, water, and industrial uses. Comparable as a smaller competitor targeting similar end markets with natural zeolite feedstock.

Direct peers

• KMI Zeolite: U.S. natural clinoptilolite zeolite miner and processor serving water filtration, agriculture, and industrial customers with comparable mesh-sized product offerings and direct sales motion.
• St. Cloud Mining Company (Imerys): One of the largest U.S. producers of natural clinoptilolite zeolite, now part of Imerys. Directly comparable as a competing natural zeolite miner selling into agriculture, water filtration, and industrial markets with similar mesh-grade product lines.

Broad incumbents

• Clariant: Large specialty chemicals incumbent producing zeolite-based catalysts and adsorbents for refining, petrochemical, and emissions control. Broad incumbent with overlapping catalyst/adsorbent applications to BRZ's industrial segment.
• UOP (Honeywell): Global incumbent in molecular sieves and synthetic zeolite catalysts for petrochemical, refining, and gas processing. Overlaps with BRZ in adsorption media but specializes in engineered synthetic zeolites rather than natural clinoptilolite.
• BASF: Diversified chemicals incumbent offering zeolite-based adsorbents, catalysts, and animal feed additives. Competes with BRZ in filtration catalysts and feed-grade mineral products as part of a much broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Zeolite Australia: Australian natural zeolite miner and supplier for agriculture, water, and industrial uses across the Asia-Pacific region. Comparable product offering but primarily serves Australian and Asian customers.
• Zeocem, a.s. Slovak natural zeolite miner producing clinoptilolite for European agriculture, water, and industrial markets. Comparable as a nonmetallic zeolite miner with similar end-market segmentation but primarily serving European customers.
