Urea, with the chemical formula (NH2)2CO, is a common nitrogen source in agricultural production, primarily used as a fertilizer or in the manufacturing of other nitrogen-based fertilizers (such as NPK). Additionally, urea is used as an adhesive in the wood industry, particularly in the production of industrial wood products like plywood.
Applications:
-
Agriculture: Urea is widely used as a nitrogen source in agriculture, either as a direct fertilizer or in the production of other nitrogen-containing fertilizers (NPK).
-
Industrial use: Urea reacts with formaldehyde to form urea-formaldehyde resin, which is used as an adhesive in the wood industry, especially in the production of industrial wood products like plywood.
Packaging:
-
Urea is delivered in bulk by tank trucks with a capacity of up to 20 tons.
-
It is also available in 50-kg bags.
