Urea is an organic compound (CO(NH₂)₂) produced from the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) under high pressure and temperature. In the petrochemical and fertilizer industries, Urea is the most widely used nitrogen-based product due to its high nitrogen content (46% by weight), excellent solubility, and costeffectiveness. It is manufactured in granular or prilled form, with granular Urea being the preferred type for export and agricultural applications due to its strength, uniformity, and resistance to caking.
Typical properties include:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemical Formula | CO(NH₂)₂ |
| Nitrogen Content | 46% minimum |
| Biuret Content | ≤ 1% (to prevent plant toxicity) |
| Moisture Content | ≤ 0.5% |
| Granule Size | 2 – 4 mm (90% minimum for granular grade) |
| Melting Point | 132 – 135 °C |
| Solubility in Water | 1080 g/L at 20°C (highly soluble) |
| Appearance | White solid (granules or prills), free-flowing |
| Bulk Density | 0.72 – 0.78 kg/L |
Values may vary depending on production method and refinery specifications.
• Highest nitrogen content among solid fertilizers (46%).
• Excellent solubility, making it suitable for liquid fertilizer and foliar applications.
• Neutral pH and minimal environmental impact when properly applied.
• Uniform granules, ideal for precision agriculture and export.
• Multi-sector usability, from agriculture to petrochemicals.
• Agriculture: Widely used as a nitrogen fertilizer to enhance crop yields (rice, wheat, maize, sugarcane, etc.).
• Industrial applications: Used in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine, and adhesives.
• Petrochemical processes: Feedstock for producing chemicals like urea resins, plastics, and coatings.
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF / AdBlue): High-purity Urea is dissolved in deionized water to reduce NOx emissions in SCR systems.
• Animal feed: Supplemented as a non-protein nitrogen source in ruminant nutrition
Urea (Petrochemical Grade) is supplied in:
• 50 kg polypropylene bags with inner liner
• 500 kg – 1000 kg jumbo bags for bulk handling
• Bulk shipments in vessels or railcars for export markets
• Custom packaging upon client request
• Classified as non-flammable and non-toxic, but should be handled with care.
• Store in dry, cool, and well-ventilated areas to avoid caking and moisture absorption.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; use PPE (gloves, goggles, dust mask).
• Keep away from water sources to prevent contamination.
• Follow safety guidelines as per MSDS, ISO, and FAO specifications.
