Urea Technical Grade Prilled
Urea Technical Grade is a white, crystalline solid containing 46% nitrogen. Unlike agricultural-grade urea, the technical grade is produced under stringent conditions to minimize impurities such as biuret, moisture, and heavy metals. It is highly soluble in water, making it a versatile precursor for various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of formaldehyde resins and automotive-grade urea solutions. Moonarc Chemicals ensures a consistent supply of free-flowing prills, treated to prevent caking during long-distance maritime transport.
Applications
- Raw material for urea-formaldehyde (UF) and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins.
- Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems (AdBlue/DEF production).
- Feed additive for ruminant livestock (protein substitute).
- Chemical intermediate in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry.
- Textile dyeing and printing auxiliary.
- Yeast nutrient in industrial fermentation.
Industries served
- Automotive & Transport
- Adhesives & Sealants
- Wood Processing (Plywood/MDF)
- Textiles & Leather
- Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care
- Animal Feed & Nutrition
Key benefits
- High nitrogen content (46% min) for industrial efficiency.
- Exceptional solubility in water and alcohol.
- Lower heavy metal and biuret content compared to agricultural grades.
- Consistent prill size for uniform dissolving and blending.
- Non-toxic and relatively safe handling profile.

Storage
Store in original packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, nitrites). Temperature should ideally be below 30°C. Urea is hygroscopic; ensure bags are kept airtight to prevent caking and degradation.
Handling
Avoid dust formation. Wear personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses). Wash thoroughly after handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Although urea is non-combustible, it decompose at high temperatures to release toxic fumes (ammonia, nitrogen oxides).
Transport
Not regulated for transport (Non-hazardous). Sea: Not restricted (IMDG). Road/Rail: Not restricted (ADR/RID). Air: Not restricted (IATA). HS Code: 3102.1000.
