APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• UREA prill is used as a slow release fertilizer. It must be decomposed by microorganisms before it can be assimilated by plants.
• ALWAYS exercise caution when using this chemical as fertilizer because it has the highest nitrogen content of any solid.
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• UREA can be purchased in bulk quantities of 25-35 tons as well as in 50 pound and 1 ton bags.
• UREA will decompose into ammonia and carbon dioxide at 275oF.
• ALWAYS wash vessels containing UREA thoroughly before attempting repairs requiring welding.
• UREA must never be allowed to come into contact with nitric acid. The resulting chemical is unstable and dangerous.
