Product Description Product Description - Urea (Carbamide)1. Introduction to UreaUrea, chemically known as Carbamide with the formula CO(NH2)2, is one of the most important nitrogen-containing compounds in the chemical industry and agriculture. It appears as a white, odorless, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Urea is considered the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, owing to its high nitrogen content (46% N), excellent solubility, easy handling, and cost-effectiveness.As a non-toxic, stable, and versatile material, Urea is also extensively applied in industries beyond agriculture, such as resins, adhesives, plastics, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and environmental engineering. Its wide applicability and efficient performance make it an essential commodity in both developed and developing economies.2. Chemical Properties of UreaChemical Name: Urea / CarbamideChemical Formula: CO(NH2)2Molecular Weight: 60.06 g/molCAS Number: 57-13-6Appearance: White crystalline granules or powderNitrogen Content: 46% (highest among solid nitrogen fertilizers)Solubility: Highly soluble in water (1080 g/L at 20°C)Melting Point: 132 - 135°CpH (10% Solution): Neutral to slightly alkaline 3. Grades of UreaUrea is produced in different grades to meet diverse industry requirements. The two most common types are:Agricultural Grade UreaUsed primarily as a nitrogen fertilizer.Available in prilled and granular forms.Granular urea is larger in particle size and dissolves slower, making it suitable for mechanized spreading.Prilled urea has smaller particles and is ideal for blending with other fertilizers or for industrial use.Industrial Grade UreaUsed as a raw material in chemical synthesis and manufacturing.Applications include resins, adhesives, plastics, formaldehyde-based compounds, de-icing solutions, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.Often required in higher purity levels compared to agricultural grade.4. Advantages of Urea as a FertilizerHigh Nitrogen Content (46%) - provides more nitrogen per unit weight than any other solid fertilizer.Excellent Solubility - dissolves quickly in water, suitable for foliar sprays, fertigation, and drip irrigation.Cost-Effective - delivers maximum nitrogen with lower transportation and storage costs.Neutral pH - safe for most soils and compatible with a wide range of crops.Versatility - can be applied directly to soil, used in liquid fertilizers, or blended with other nutrients.Safe and Stable - non-flammable and relatively safe to handle compared to ammonium n-i-trate. 5. Applications of Urea5.1 Agriculture (Fertilizer Industry)Urea is the world's most important nitrogen fertilizer, accounting for more than 50% of global nitrogen consumption.Suitable for all major crops: wheat, rice, maize, barley, sugarcane, cotton, vegetables, fruits, and oilseeds.Enhances crop yield, quality, and protein content.Compatible with other fertilizers (phosphates, potash, trace elements).Can be applied:Directly to soil (broadcasting, side-dressing, top-dressing)As foliar spray after dissolving in waterThrough irrigation systems (fertigation, hydroponics)5.2 Chemical IndustryResin Production: Urea is a key raw material for urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, widely used in plywood, particle boards, adhesives, laminates, and coatings.Melamine Production: Urea serves as the feedstock for melamine, which is essential in producing laminates, plastics, dinnerware, and surface coatings.Plastic Industry: Used in the manufacture of urea-moulding compounds and plastics with high durability and resistance.5.3 Automotive & Environmental ApplicationsD-i-esel Exhaust Fluid (DEF): High-purity urea solution (32.5% urea + 67.5% deionized water), known as AdBlue? or AUS 32, is used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from d-i-esel engines.De-Icing Agent: Urea is used as a safer alternative to salt for airport runways and highways, preventing corrosion of concrete and metal.5.4 Medical & Cosmetic IndustryPharmaceuticals: Used in topical creams and ointments as a keratolytic agent for skin hydration and treatment of conditions like eczema and psoriasis.Cosmetics: Incorporated in lotions, shampoos, and moisturizers for its hydrating and softening properties.Medical Testing: Urea derivatives are used in laboratory testing and diagnostics.5.5 Other ApplicationsAnimal Feed: Urea is used as a non-protein nitrogen (NPN) source in ruminant animal feed, aiding in protein synthesis.Explosives Industry: Urea is used in the production of urea n-i-trate, an intermediate for explosives.Textile Industry: Urea improves dye absorption in fabrics during the dyeing process.Laboratory Reagent: Used in molecular biology as a protein denaturant and RNA stabilizer.6.

Packaging & StoragePackaging Options:25 kg woven PP bags with PE inner liner50 kg woven PP bags with PE inner liner500 kg / 1000 kg jumbo bagsCustomized packaging available upon requestStorage Conditions:Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.Keep away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.Avoid mixing or storing with oxidizing agents and acids.Handle with clean, dry equipment to prevent contamination.8. Handling & SafetyUrea is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-hazardous under normal conditions.Avoid inhalation of dust; use protective masks if necessary.Prevent contact with moisture as it is highly hygroscopic.Wash hands after handling to avoid skin irritation.In case of spillage, sweep and collect into a clean, dry container. 9. Global Market OverviewUrea is the largest-volume nitrogen fertilizer traded internationally. Key production regions include China, India, Middle East, Russia, and the United States, while major consumers are Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America due to high agricultural demand.With increasing demand for sustainable agriculture and emission control technologies (DEF/AdBlue?), global urea consumption is expected to grow steadily in the coming years. 10.
