Urea fertilizer prilled (46% nitrogen)

Description

1. Product Overview

This product is a high-purity, prilled urea fertilizer containing a guaranteed 46% total nitrogen (N), making it the world’s most concentrated solid nitrogen source for agricultural and industrial applications. Its primary industrial use is as a controlled-release, cost-efficient nitrogen input for broadacre crop fertilization, blended compound fertilizers, and select industrial raw material streams. The key value proposition is its ability to deliver the highest nitrogen content per ton, significantly reducing storage, handling, and logistics costs per unit of active nutrient—a strategic lever for any large-scale agribusiness or distributor.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

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

• Purity grade: Agricultural grade; biuret content ≤ 1.0%

• Physical form: Prilled (spherical, free-flowing granules)

• Color: Pure white to off-white

• Particle size distribution: 1.0 mm – 3.35 mm (over 90% within range)

• Bulk density: Approx. 750 – 770 kg/m³ (loose)

• Moisture content: ≤ 0.5% by weight

• Packaging options: 50 kg polywoven/PE-lined bags; 1,000 – 1,200 kg jumbo big bags; bulk in container liners or vessel holds

• Shelf life: 24 months from production date when stored in dry, ventilated conditions (≤ 35°C, away from acidic/oxidizing agents)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industry: Large-scale row crop agriculture (corn, wheat, rice, soybean, sugarcane)

• Operational use cases: Direct soil application as a basal or top-dress dressing; dissolution for fertigation; blending with phosphate (DAP/MAP) and potash (MOP) to produce bulk blends; industrial feedstock for urea-formaldehyde resins and adhesives.

• Performance advantage vs alternatives: At 46% N, prilled urea delivers 2.2x more nitrogen per ton than ammonium nitrate (34% N) and 4.6x more than organic sources (10% N). The prilled formulation ensures narrow particle size distribution, minimizing segregation in blended fertilizers and enabling uniform broadcast spreadability. Lower biuret content (<1%) eliminates phytotoxicity risks for sensitive crops like citrus or pineapple.

• Cost advantage: Reduced transport weight per delivered unit of nitrogen directly lowers freight costs, container loading expenses, and field application passes.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch nitrogen content certified at 46% ±0.5%; biuret, moisture, and particle size attested via third-party SGS or Intertek analysis.

• Supply reliability: Sourced from nameplate-capacity producers with 24/7 operations; ability to maintain year-round availability even during peak agricultural seasons.

• Logistics capability: Export-ready from multiple global load ports (Middle East, Southeast Asia, Russia, Black Sea); multimodal shipping (containers, breakbulk, bulk vessel) with typical lead times 14–28 days FOB.

• Price competitiveness: Direct-to-market pricing model eliminates intermediary markups; volume-based price bands and long-term supply contracts (6–12 months) available for qualified buyers.

• Sustainability & documentation: Compliant with ISO 22242:2020 standards; full regulatory documentation (COA, MSDS, phytosanitary, origin certificate) delivered with each shipment; low-carbon manufacturing options available upon request.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 20 metric tons (MT) (equivalent to one full 20-foot dry container or one bulk truckload)

• Loading capacity per container:

  • 20-foot standard container: 20–22 MT (bagged, max payload)

  • 40-foot standard container: 24–26 MT (bagged)

  • Bulk container liners (20-foot): 22 MT
