White Crystalline Solid Urea

Urea, a nitrogen-rich compound with the chemical formula CO(NH), plays a significant role in the oil and gas industry, Urea, also known as carbamide, is a highly soluble organic compound. It is synthesized on a large scale from ammonia and carbon dioxide and is primarily used in fertilizers, which accounts for about 90% of its global production. Chemical Properties.
