UREA N46

Urea N46%, also known as 46% urea, is a nitrogen-based fertilizer widely used in both agricultural and industrial sectors. Let’s explore its key features:

1. Composition:
   • Urea N46% contains 46% nitrogen.
   • Other components include 1% biuret, half% moisture, and half% formaldehyde.
   • The particle size of urea granules is typically about 2 to 4 mm.
2. Agricultural Use:
   • Urea is employed directly as a fertilizer or as an additive in other fertilizers.
   • It serves as a foliar application, can be applied as a solid fertilizer by hand or sprayer, or mixed with irrigation water.
   • Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, and urea helps accelerate crop growth and yield.
   • More than 90% of the world’s urea production is allocated to agriculture.
   • Urea has the highest nitrogen content among solid nitrogen fertilizers (approximately 46.7%).
3. Industrial Applications:
   • In the industrial sector, urea finds use in:
     • Plastics production
     • Adhesives manufacturing
     • Pharmaceuticals
     • Cosmetics
     • Filter production
4. Production:
   • Urea is synthesized from anhydrous ammonia (NH3).
   • Its high nitrogen content (46%) contributes to its cost-effectiveness.
5. Packaging and Transportation:
   • Urea is packaged in polyethylene and propylene bags or other suitable containers.
   • It can be shipped in bulk or packed with care to prevent spillage.
6. Storage:
   • Shelf life is approximately 6 months from the production date.
