Granular Urea (Carbamide)

Granular Urea or carbamide is a solid organic compound that is colorless and odorless. It is highly soluble in water and practically non-toxic and serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds.

Urea is widely used in fertilizers as a convenient source of nitrogen. More than 90% of world industrial production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Therefore, it has the lowest transportation costs per unit of nitrogen nutrient. The standard crop-nutrient rating (NPK rating) of urea is 46-0-0.

It is also an important raw material for the chemical industry. Urea is a raw material for the manufacture of two main classes of materials: urea-formaldehyde resins and urea-melamine-formaldehyde used in marine plywood.

Some niche uses of Urea include it uses as a component of animal feed, providing a relatively cheap source of nitrogen to promote growth.

It a main ingredient in hair removers and some skin cream, moisturizers, hair conditioners. Urea is an ingredient in many tooth whitening products. Along with ammonium phosphate, it is used as a yeast nutrient, for fermentation of sugars into ethanol.
