Whatsapp Order

 Urea Extra Pure is a high-quality, white crystalline compound widely used in laboratory, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications for its high nitrogen content and excellent solubility. It functions as a chaotropic agent in protein studies, a nitrogen source in biochemical and agricultural research, and a moisturizing and keratolytic agent in skin-care products. Its purity and stability make it an essential reagent in analytical chemistry and organic synthesis. Proper storage in airtight containers is necessary to avoid moisture absorption, and handling precautions should be observed to prevent dust inhalation and skin or eye contact.
