Technical Grade Urea | High-Purity Industrial Urea Supplier

What is Technical Grade Urea?

Technical Grade Urea is a high-purity, industrial form of urea (chemical formula CH₄N₂O) specifically manufactured for non-agricultural applications. Unlike its agricultural counterpart, this grade is characterized by a higher purity level (typically ≥99%) and a nitrogen content of at least 46%, making it a versatile chemical compound for various industrial processes .

IGSAS, Turkey’s only urea producer with a capacity of 560,000 tons/year, supplies high-quality urea products that meet stringent industrial requirements . With over 50 years of experience, IGSAS stands out as a reliable partner in the global fertilizer and industrial chemicals market.

This high level of purity ensures consistent performance in critical industrial applications .

Chemical Properties and Precautions

Understanding the chemical behavior and safety protocols is essential for the proper handling of Technical Grade Urea.

Chemical Structure: Urea is an organic compound with the structure (NH₂)₂CO. In its solid form, it presents as white prills or crystals. It is neither acidic nor alkaline in solution, making it safe for a wide range of chemical processes .

Precautions: While Technical Grade Urea is considered a low-hazard material, safe handling practices are recommended:

• Avoid Inhalation: Avoid breathing dust, mist, or vapor.

• Skin and Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

• Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Protect from direct sunlight, rain, and moisture to prevent caking. Ideally, use pallet racking to avoid double stacking .

Common Research Applications Include

Technical Grade Urea is a critical raw material for numerous industrial sectors due to its high purity and nitrogen content.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

One of the most significant applications is in environmental control for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Technical Grade Urea is used to produce the urea solution (often known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF) injected into the exhaust streams of diesel engines, power plants, and cement factories. This process allows engines to perform efficiently while destroying harmful NOx emissions .

Resins and Adhesives

It is a key component in the production of urea-formaldehyde resins and adhesives, widely used in the wood panel industry (e.g., particleboard, plywood) due to its excellent bonding properties .

Animal Feed

High-purity urea serves as a non-protein nitrogen (NPN) source in ruminant animal feed supplements, providing a cost-effective way to meet protein requirements for livestock .

Other Industrial Uses

• Chemical Synthesis: As a raw material for manufacturing other chemical compounds.

• Water & Sewage Treatment: Used in certain treatment processes.

• Textile & Inks: Utilized in pigment manufacturing and ink formulations .

• Cloud Seeding: A less common but established application for weather modification .
