English term or phrase: Bulking material

Hello all,

I am translating an instructions manual for an environmentally friendly toilet and I would appreciate any help you can provide, as I cannot find the Spanish equivalent for "bulking material".

"You do not need to use bulking material in the XXX. Adding it during post-composting is sufficient."

I found "agente espesante", but I am not aware what kind of "agentes espesantes" can be put in a toilet.

Thanks a lot in advance for your comments!

material para aumentar el volumen

Explanation:
Normalmente, un "bulking material" sirve para aumentar el volumen, no el espesor. En todo caso, si no sabes exactamente de qué material se trata, lo mejor es una traducción como "material para aumentar el volumen".
