Urea
Urea, also known as (NH 2) 2 CO., is a colorless organic chemical compound of karbamide. It is very soluble in water and has a pka close to zero. It is produced not only by humans, but also by many other mammals, as well as by amphibians and some fishes. Urea was the first natural compound synthesized artificially by using inorganic.
The primary raw material used to produce urea is natural gas that connects costs directly to gas prices. As a result, new facilities are only being built in areas with large natural gas reserves where prices are lower.
The market price for urea relates directly to the world price of natural gas and demand for agricultural products. Prices can be very variable and unpredictable at times. Bors Group is positioned to recognise the world markets and to offer competitive prices.

-Agriculture
More than 90 percent of the world’s urea production is designed to be used as nitrogen-released fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all commonly used solid nitrogenous fertilizers (46.7%). Therefore, the unit nitrogen has the lowest shipping cost per nutrient. Urea is also used in many multi-component solid fertilizer formulations. Urea is very soluble in water, so it is very suitable for use in fertilizer solutions.
-Chemical Industry
Urea is a raw material used in the production of many important chemicals:
Various plastics, especially urea-formaldehyde resins.
Various adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde or urea-melamine-formaldehyde used in sea plywood.
Potassium cyanide, another industrial raw material.
Urea nitrate, an explosive.
