Description

Product name: urea phosphate
Molecular formula: CO(NH₂)₂·H₃PO₄
Molecular weight:  158.0
CAS NO.: 4861-19-2
Properties and uses: Urea phosphate is a compound that is easily soluble in water and the aqueous solution becomes acidic; it is insoluble in ether, toluene and carbon tetrachloride. Urea phosphate is a white, water-soluble crystalline material that has a variety of applications in agriculture and industry.

Urea phosphate is primarily used as a source of nitrogen and phosphorus for plants. The combination of urea and phosphoric acid in this compound provides two essential nutrients for plant growth, enabling a rapid supply of nitrogen and improving plant utilization of phosphate. Urea phosphate can be used to adjust the pH of soil or solutions. It acts as a pH buffer, helping to maintain desired pH levels in a variety of applications. In industry, urea phosphate is used as a flame retardant in materials such as textiles and wood products. It helps reduce the flammability of these materials and is often used in the production of fire-resistant coatings. It can also be found in some coatings and paints that require flame retardant properties. It is used in various chemical processes, such as the production of detergents, ceramics and metal surface treatments, to provide nitrogen and phosphorus. In the construction industry, urea phosphate is used in adhesives and binders for a variety of materials, including wood and laminate. Urea phosphate is occasionally used in animal feed formulations as a source of supplemental nutrition for livestock.

Urea phosphate’s versatility as a fertilizer and flame retardant, as well as its ability to control pH, make it a valuable compound in agricultural and industrial applications. Its ability to provide nitrogen and phosphorus essential for plant growth makes it a popular choice for increasing crop yields and improving the quality of agricultural produce.
