Industrial Urea
Urea can be widely used as raw materials for the production of melamine, urea formaldehyde resin, hydrazine hydrate, tetracycline, phenobarbital, caffeine, reduced Brown BR, phthalocyanine blue B, phthalocyanine blue BX, monosodium glutamate and other products.
It has a brightening effect on the chemical polishing of steel and stainless steel. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in metal pickling and the preparation of palladium activation solution.
In industry, it is also used as raw material for manufacturing urea formaldehyde resin, polyurethane and melamine formaldehyde resin. When urea is heated to 200 ℃, it generates solid trimeric chloric acid (i.e. cyanuric acid). Cyanuric acid derivatives trichloroisocyanuric acid, sodium dichloroisocyanate, tris (2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, tris (allyl) isocyanurate, tris (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) isocyanate, triglycidyl isocyanate, cyanuric acid melamine complex and so on have many important applications. The first two are new high-grade disinfection and bleaching agents. The total production capacity of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the world is more than 80000 t.
