Urea fertilizer granular

Description

1. Product Overview
This is high-purity granular urea (46% nitrogen), the world’s most widely used solid nitrogen fertilizer. Its primary industrial use is broad-acre cropping and precision agriculture for cereals, oilseeds, and cotton. The key value proposition is maximum nitrogen density per ton, reducing freight and storage costs per unit of nutrient. Strategically, it remains indispensable for food security and yield optimization in price-sensitive global grain markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: CO(NH₂)₂, min 46% nitrogen by weight

• Purity grade: Premium industrial grade, biuret content ≤ 1.0%

• Physical characteristics: White to off-white free-flowing granules, 2–4 mm size (90% within range), bulk density ~0.75 t/m³, angle of repose ~28°

• Packaging options: 50 kg woven bags, 1.2 MT jumbo bags, or bulk vessel

• Shelf life: 24 months in dry, ventilated conditions below 35°C

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Large-scale row crop farming, compound fertilizer blending, and turf/ornamental production

• Specific use cases: Direct soil application via broadcast spreaders; dissolution for fertigation or foliar sprays; blending with phosphate/potash for custom NPK grades

• Why it performs better: 46% N content outperforms ammonium sulfate (21% N) or calcium ammonium nitrate (27% N) on cost-per-unit-nitrogen; granular form minimizes dust and caking vs. prilled urea, enabling high-speed spreading accuracy

• Cost advantage: Lower application passes, reduced warehousing footprint, and diminished moisture absorption risk

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 22241-1 / 8150 compliant with batch-level lab certificates; biuret and moisture tightly controlled

• Supply reliability: Contracted production from multiple Gulf and Southeast Asian plants; 12-month rolling capacity booking

• Logistics capability: Dedicated warehousing at key ports (Rotterdam, Singapore, Houston, Santos) with 48-hr dispatch

• Price competitiveness: Direct mill allocation + hedging on urea futures; transparent index-linked pricing

• Sustainability: Low-carbon ammonia feedstock options available upon request; loss-inhibitor coating ready for enhanced efficiency

• Technical support: Agronomic application calculators and material safety data sheets (MSDS) in 6 languages

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT (one flexi-bag equivalent)

• Loading capacity: 25–27 MT per 20-ft dry container (jumbo bags); 50–54 MT per 40-ft container; bulk vessel – up to 60,000 MT per shipment
