Granular Urea N46%

2–4 mm granules for bulk blending & broadacre spreading

CBIL brokers agricultural-grade granular urea at 46% nitrogen minimum, biuret ≤ 1.0% and moisture ≤ 0.5%, from Middle East and CIS producers. The variables that actually price and place a granular cargo are physical, not just chemical: granule size distribution (typically 90%+ between 2 and 4 mm), crushing strength (2.5–3.5 kgf on a 2.8 mm granule), dust content and the anti-caking coating. Those numbers decide whether the product survives multiple handlings, spreads evenly at width, and arrives free-flowing rather than as a set block in the bottom of the hold. We arrange SGS or Intertek certification of nitrogen, biuret, moisture and size distribution at load port, with size-guide-number and uniformity-index reporting where a blender needs it.

A buyer picks granular over prilled when the urea is going into a bulk blend or through a spinner spreader. Granules are harder, denser and closer in particle size to DAP, MOP and ammonium sulphate, so a blend holds together in transit instead of segregating into stripes across the field — and they throw a consistent 24–36 m pattern that prills cannot match. Granular also handles bulk-vessel discharge, stockpiling and repeated transfer far better, which is why long trade lanes and inland distribution default to it. If you are dissolving the urea in water, feeding a resin plant or a DEF line, the extra hardness is cost you do not need — prilled is the sibling grade for that. Supply is structured in 50 kg PP bags, 1 MT jumbo bags and bulk vessel on FOB, CFR and CIF terms into your nominated port.

Granular Urea N46% — buyer questions

Why specify granular urea instead of prilled?

Two reasons: blending and spreading. Granules are harder and sized close to DAP and MOP, so a bulk blend does not segregate in transit — prills are smaller and lighter and will separate out. And a spinner spreader throws granules a consistent 24–36 m; prills are too light for that width. If you are neither blending nor broadcast-spreading, prilled will usually do the same nitrogen job for less.

What crushing strength should I ask for?

2.5–3.5 kgf on a 2.8 mm granule is the working band for material that will be handled several times — vessel discharge, stockpile, bag, truck, spreader. Below about 2 kgf you start generating dust and fines, which cost you product, block a blender and give an uneven spread. Ask for it on the COA; a lot of sellers report nitrogen and biuret and stay quiet about the physicals.

How do I stop urea caking on a long voyage?

Coated product plus dry packaging. Urea is hygroscopic, so moisture at bagging is the real culprit — insist on ≤ 0.5% at load port, anti-caking-coated granules, and PP bags with a sealed liner for humid discharge ports. We write the coating and the moisture cap into the contract rather than leaving them to the producer's default.

Does biuret content matter for broadacre use?

Less than for foliar. Biuret is phytotoxic and matters most in foliar spray and sensitive crops such as citrus, where buyers want ≤ 0.3%. For soil-applied broadacre nitrogen, standard ≤ 1.0% material is fine and prices better. Tell us the application and we will not over-specify you.
