Chemical Formula: CH?N?O
Molecular Weight: 60.06 g/mol
Description:
Urea Technical Grade (TG) is a white crystalline, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water and widely used as a source of nitrogen in various industrial and chemical applications. It is a stable organic compound containing a high nitrogen content (~46%), making it valuable for use in resins, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and as a raw material in chemical synthesis.
Applications:
Resin Industry: Used in the production of urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins.
Textile Industry: Employed in dyeing, printing, and finishing processes to improve color absorption.
Adhesives & Coatings: Component in glue, laminated boards, and surface finishes.
Pharmaceuticals: Used as a raw material for creams, lotions, and dermatological formulations.
Rubber Industry: Used as an anti-caking and de-foaming agent.
Agricultural Chemicals: Sometimes used as a stabilizer or additive in non-fertilizer applications.
