Overview
Urea powder, chemically known as carbamide, is a nitrogen-rich compound with the formula CH4N2O. It is a white, crystalline substance that is highly soluble in water and widely used in various industries. Urea is naturally produced in the body as a byproduct of protein metabolism and is also synthesized industrially for commercial applications. In agriculture, urea powder is a key component of nitrogen-based fertilizers, providing essential nutrients for plant growth. Beyond farming, it is utilized in skincare products for its moisturizing properties and in industrial processes such as the production of adhesives and plastics.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Urea powder is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and hygroscopic nature, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the environment. It has a density of 1.32 g/cm³ and melts at 132-135°C, decomposing before reaching a boiling point. The compound is highly soluble in water, making it easy to dissolve for various applications. Chemically, urea is stable under normal conditions but can decompose when exposed to high temperatures, releasing ammonia and other gases. Its non-toxic nature and high nitrogen content (approximately 46%) make it a valuable resource in agriculture and industry.
Main Applications
The primary use of urea powder is in agriculture, where it serves as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. It is applied to soil to promote plant growth and increase crop yields. Urea's high nitrogen content and solubility make it an efficient and cost-effective fertilizer option. In the cosmetics industry, urea is a common ingredient in moisturizers and creams due to its ability to retain water and soften skin. Industrially, it is used in the production of urea-formaldehyde resins, which are essential for manufacturing adhesives, laminates, and coatings. Additionally, urea powder is employed in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines.
Safety and Storage
Urea powder is generally considered safe for handling, but precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact, which can cause irritation. It is non-toxic but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent caking or degradation. Proper storage conditions include using airtight containers and keeping the powder away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizing agents. In case of accidental exposure, rinse affected areas with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
B2B Procurement Guide
When procuring urea powder for industrial or agricultural use, buyers should verify the product's purity levels, which typically range from 98% to 99.5%. Packaging specifications, such as 25 kg or 50 kg bags, should also be confirmed based on transportation and storage requirements. Price ranges vary depending on market conditions and order quantities, with bulk purchases often attracting discounts. Suppliers should be evaluated based on reliability, product quality, and compliance with industry standards. It is advisable to request samples and certificates of analysis before finalizing large orders.
