The UREA SOLUTION is created by dissolution of the pure amide directly into clean condensate so there are no ions of any metals present. The lowest salt-out temperature possible for UREA solution is 12oF at a 32.5% UREA concentration. The 40% UREA solution has a salt-out temperature of 32oF.
UREA prill is a small diameter, spherical white solid. It is an organic amide molecule containing 46% nitrogen in the form of amine groups. UREA is infinitely soluble in water and is suitable for use as an agricultural and forestry fertilizer as well as for industrial applications which require a high quality nitrogen source. It is not a poison to mammals and birds and is a benign and safe chemical to handle.
UREA LIQUOR solution is created by dissolution of the pure amide directly into clean condensate so there are no ions of any metals present. It is a clear, colorless solution with a slight ammonia odor.
The UREA/AMMONIUM NITRATE (UAN) solution is created by dissolution of the amide and nitrate salt in water. It may have a slight ammonia odor. Approximately 35% UREA blended with 45% AMMONIUM NITRATE makes a fertilizer solution that is 32% nitrogen by weight.
REFRIGERATION AMMONIA is a colorless gas shipped under pressure as a liquid. It has a pungent characteristic odor that is highly irritating to the mucosal membranes of the eyes and lungs. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. It absorbs readily into water to form alkaline ammonium hydroxide solution which is corrosive to bodily tissue.
AQUA AMMONIA, aqueous ammonia and ammonium hydroxide are synonymous terms referring to a solution of ammonia in water. Aqua is a high purity solution produced using demineralized water and is suitable for applications that require low levels of trace minerals. This product is used in stack emission control systems to neutralize sulfur oxides from combustion of sulfurcontaining fuels and as a method of NOx control in both catalytic and non-catalytic applications. It is also used for pH control, nutrient for waste disposal systems and wood treating.
