More than 90% of world production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Urea is a raw material for the manufacture of many important chemical compounds, such as : plastics (urea-formaldehyde resins), adhesives (urea-melamineformaldehyde) and industrial feedstock (Potassium cyanate).

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
Before handling and using of product , the personnel must be aware of the dangers implied. This information is available in SDS and on the product label. Any unavoidable deposit of dust must be regularly removed. Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
The product should be stored in cool, dry conditions, in well sealed receptacles and protected from heat and direct sunlight. Store the product only in the original receptacle. Suspend de unloading process in case of high humidity (> 74%), drizzle, fog or wetness of the conveyor/ transport system. Keep closed the ventilators of the hatches till the complete discharge of cargo. The plastic covers/sheets if any on the cargo has to be retained till the total discharge of the cargo from the hatches. Keep opened only hatches being discharged . The remaining hatches to remain closed as precaution against bad weather & contamination. To avoid deterioration of product quality and size, grabs should preferably be used for discharging the cargo, or other means like bucket elevators with rubber conveyors can be used. Ship unloaders having screw conveyors should not be used. Spilled cargo should be segregated and not mixed with the normal cargo.
