UREA AUTOMOTIVE GRADE UREA (AGU)
|
Automotive Grade Urea (AGU) is a white, solid, cylindrical pellet. It is manufactured by compressing pure urea crystals in a pelletizing process which avoids the melting and heating of the urea where the majority of biuret is formed. It is an organic amide molecule containing 46% nitrogen in the form of amine groups. Urea is infinitely soluble in water and is a benign and safe chemical to handle. This product contains NO formaldehyde.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• Production of Diesel Exhaust Fluid
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• UREA will decompose into ammonia and carbon dioxide at 275°F.
• ALWAYS wash vessels containing Urea thoroughly before attempting repairs requiring welding.
• NEVER allow Urea to come into contact with nitric acid. The resulting chemical is unstable and dangerous.
HAZARDOUS SHIPPING DESCRIPTION
• There are no DOT restrictions, other than weight, to transport Urea prill.
• A large spill of Urea should be recovered dry. All attempts should be made to keep it from dissolving into a vegetated drainage. The high nitrogen content (46%) may kill foliage if not diluted. Dissolved Urea can be handled, if necessary, by a municipal water treatment facility.
• Consult SDS #1137 for more specific and comprehensive information about chemical hazards.
