Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound that is widely used in agriculture, industry, and as a feedstock for the synthesis of various chemicals. It is a colorless, odorless, and highly soluble solid that is commonly found in fertilizers and is a byproduct of the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds in animals, including humans.
In agriculture, urea is one of the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizers due to its high nitrogen content, which is essential for plant growth. It is often applied directly to soil or in liquid form and is especially useful for boosting the growth of crops like wheat, corn, and rice.
Urea is also used in the production of resins, plastics, and adhesives. It is involved in the manufacturing of various chemicals, such as isocyanates, which are used in the production of polyurethane foams and coatings. Additionally, urea is used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries in creams, lotions, and other topical formulations for its moisturizing properties.
SAFETY:
Labelling according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) not required
As a chemical, urea is relatively safe to handle, but it can be toxic in large amounts, especially if ingested. It should be stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain its stability.
