    Product Name: Slow Release Urea (SRU) Fertilizer
    Other Names: Controlled Release Urea, Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF)
    CAS Number: 57-13-6


    🌱 Product Overview

    Slow Release Urea (SRU) is a high-efficiency nitrogen fertilizer designed to release nutrients gradually over time, aligning with the nutritional needs of crops throughout their growth cycle. By reducing nitrogen loss through volatilization and leaching, SRU maximizes nutrient uptake while minimizing environmental impact.


    ✅ Key Benefits

    • Controlled Nutrient Release: Delivers nitrogen over weeks or months, reducing the need for multiple applications.

    • Higher Efficiency: Minimizes losses due to leaching, denitrification, and volatilization.

    • Eco-Friendly: Supports sustainable agriculture by reducing nitrogen runoff into waterways.

    • Labor-Saving: Fewer applications mean lower labor and operational costs.

    • Consistent Growth: Promotes uniform crop development with steady nitrogen supply.


    📦 Typical Composition

    • Total Nitrogen (N): 46%

    • Release Duration: 45 to 120 days (depending on coating type and conditions)

    • Available in:

      • Polymer-Coated Urea (PCU)

      • Sulfur-Coated Urea (SCU)

      • Urea-Formaldehyde or Urea Aldehyde


    🌾 Application Areas

    • Cereals (rice, wheat, maize)

    • Fruit orchards & vegetables

    • Turfgrass, golf courses & landscaping

    • Controlled environment agriculture (CEA)

    • Suitable for both basal and top dressing


    📦 Packaging Options

    • 25kg woven PP bags with liner

    • 500kg / 1000kg jumbo bags

    • Custom packaging available


    🧪 Storage & Safety

    • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

    • Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and moisture

    • Use gloves and protective gear when handling

    🌾 Product Name: Slow Release Urea Fertilizer (SRU)
    Chemical Formula: CH₄N₂O
    CAS Number: 57-13-6
    Appearance: White or off-white granules
    Nitrogen Content: Typically 46% N (depending on formulation)


    🔍 Product Description:

    Slow Release Urea (SRU) is a next-generation nitrogen fertilizer engineered to provide consistent nutrient availability over an extended period. Unlike conventional urea, which releases nitrogen rapidly, SRU utilizes advanced coating technologies such as polymer coatings, sulfur coatings, or biodegradable materials to delay nitrogen release, matching plant uptake rates more closely and increasing overall nutrient efficiency.

    It is ideal for commercial agriculture, horticulture, turf management, and environmentally sensitive areas where nitrogen loss can be a major concern.


    🌿 Types of Slow Release Urea Available:

    1. Polymer-Coated Urea (PCU) – Offers precise and long-term nitrogen release, excellent for crops with longer growing seasons.

    2. Sulfur-Coated Urea (SCU) – Cost-effective, with sulfur acting as a secondary nutrient.

    3. Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) – A chemically bonded form that decomposes gradually through microbial activity.

    4. Dual-Coated Urea (Sulfur + Polymer) – Combines the benefits of both coatings for enhanced performance.


    ✅ Advantages:

    • Reduces frequency of fertilizer application

    • Improves nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)

    • Minimizes risk of nutrient burn and leaching

    • Enhances crop yield and quality

    • Environmentally sustainable

    • Lower labor and operational costs over time


    🌱 Applications:

    • Agricultural crops (grains, oilseeds, sugarcane)

    • Vegetable and fruit farming

    • Greenhouses and nurseries

    • Golf courses, parks, and sports turf

    • Forestry and landscaping projects

    ECHEMI Editorial Reference
    Urea is a powerful protein denaturant via both direct and indirect mechanisms. A potent emollient and keratolytic agent. Used as a diuretic agent. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been utilized to evaluate renal function[3]. Widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.

It has a role as a flour treatment agent, a human metabolite, a Daphnia magna metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite and a fertilizer. It is a monocarboxylic acid amide and a one-carbon compound. It derives from a carbonic acid. It is a tautomer of a carbamimidic acid.|A compound formed in the liver from ammonia produced by the deamination of amino acids. It is the principal end product of protein catabolism and constitutes about one half of the total urinary solids.|Urea is a nitrogenous compound containing a carbonyl group attached to two amine groups with osmotic diuretic activity. In vivo, urea is formed in the liver via the urea cycle from ammonia and is the final end product of protein metabolism. Administration of urea elevates blood plasma osmolality, resulting in enhanced flow of water from tissues, including the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and eye, into interstitial fluid and plasma, thereby decreasing pressure in those tissues and increasing urine outflow.

    Reactivity Profile:

    UREA is a weak base. Reacts with hypochlorites to form nitrogen trichloride which explodes spontaneously in air [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 63:3530-32]. Same is true for phosphorus pentachloride. It reacts with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Reacts with strong reducing agents to form flammable gases (hydrogen). The heating of improper stoichiometric amounts of urea and sodium nitrite lead to an explosion. Heated mixtures of oxalic acid and urea yielded rapid evolution of gases, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and ammonia (if hot, can be explosive). Titanium tetrachloride and urea slowly formed a complex during 6 weeks at 80° C, decomposed violently at 90 C, [Chem. Abs., 1966, 64, 9219b]. Urea ignites spontaneously on stirring with nitrosyl perchlorate due to the formation of the diazonium perchlorate. Oxalic acid and urea react at high temperatures to form toxic and flammable ammonia and carbon monoxide gases, and inert CO2 gas [Von Bentzinger, R. et al., Praxis Naturwiss. Chem., 1987, 36(8), 41-42].
