Request a Quotation View SpecificationsSmall, round prills
Made by spraying molten urea down a tower. Economical and widely used for direct application and blending.
Larger, harder granules
Made in a fluid bed granulator. Stronger and more uniform, suited to bulk blending and mechanical spreading.
Typical Specifications
Indicative commercial values for fertiliser grade urea. The final specification is agreed in the contract and confirmed by the independent inspector's report.
| Parameter | Prilled | Granular |
|---|---|---|
| Total nitrogen (% m/m) | min 46.0 | min 46.0 |
| Biuret (% m/m) | max 1.0 | max 1.0 |
| Moisture (% m/m) | max 0.5 | max 0.5 |
| Particle size | 1.0 – 2.8 mm (90% min) | 2.0 – 4.0 mm (90% min) |
| Crushing strength, typical | approx. 0.8 – 1.0 kgf | min 2.0 kgf |
| Bulk density, typical (kg/m³) | approx. 740 | approx. 750 |
| Appearance | white, free-flowing | white, free-flowing |
Values are indicative only and depend on the producer. Granular urea is often treated with a conditioning agent to prevent caking. Cargo quality is established by independent sampling and laboratory analysis at the load port.
Why Urea
The highest nitrogen content of any solid fertiliser, at a low cost per unit of nitrogen.
46% Nitrogen
More plant nutrient per tonne, which lowers freight, handling and spreading costs.
Many Crops
Used on cereals, rice, maize, sugar cane, vegetables, fruit and pasture.
Flexible Use
Applied dry, dissolved in water, or blended with other fertilisers.
Inspected Cargo
Quality and quantity verified by an independent inspector at loading and discharge.
Applications
Mostly used as fertiliser, with smaller industrial uses.
Agriculture
Direct application and blending into NPK fertilisers.
Resins
Urea-formaldehyde resins for wood panels and adhesives.
Animal Feed
Nitrogen supplement for ruminant feed, using feed grade product.
Industry
Melamine, diesel exhaust fluid and other chemical production.
Commercial Terms
- Supply: bulk cargoes by dry bulk vessel, or packed in 50 kg bags and 1,000 kg big bags
- Payment: as agreed in the contract
- Inspection: independent inspector, sampling and analysis at load and discharge
- Documents: ICPO, SCO, CI, PPOP
- Storage: keep dry, because urea absorbs moisture from the air
Delivery Terms
Loading at export terminals worldwide. Delivery to discharge ports as agreed.
