Urea CAS#57-13-6

Strong Hydrogen-Bonding Capability: Urea forms an extensive and stable hydrogen-bond network both in the solid state and in aqueous systems, enhancing its interaction with other molecules.


Excellent Water Solubility: Due to its strong affinity for hydrogen bonding with water, urea dissolves readily, enabling efficient use in aqueous formulations and processing systems.


Chemically Stable and Reactive Structure: The sp²-hybridized carbon and partial double-bond character of the C–N bonds provide structural stability while maintaining useful chemical reactivity.


High Functional Polarity: The relatively basic carbonyl oxygen enhances urea’s molecular polarity, improving compatibility and performance in chemical, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Product Description

Product Description of Urea CAS#57-13-6

Urea displays state-dependent molecular geometry, adopting a planar configuration in the crystalline state but pyramidal nitrogen geometry in the gas-phase minimum-energy structure. In the solid phase, oxygen atoms form two N–H···O hydrogen bonds each, creating a stable hydrogen-bonding network that disrupts ideal packing and produces an open structure with ribbon-like arrangements and square cross-sectional channels. The sp²-hybridized central carbon imparts significant double-bond character to the C–N bonds, while the carbonyl oxygen shows greater basicity than in formaldehyde. Urea's high aqueous solubility arises from its strong hydrogen-bonding ability with water.


Product Application of Urea CAS#57-13-6

Urea is the primary nitrogen excretion product in mammals, synthesized in the liver from protein metabolism and eliminated in urine. It also occurs naturally in skin as an emollient with diuretic properties. In biochemistry, urea is widely used to denature proteins and solubilize insoluble protein species. It is particularly effective for renaturing proteins denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride, including inclusion bodies, and is often used in combination with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitol to refold denatured proteins into their native conformations.

FAQ

Q1: Is Huafeng Chemical a manufacturer or a trader?
A: We are a professional service provider specializing in chemical foreign trade. Rather than being limited to the products of a single factory, we leverage the chemical industry cluster in Shandong Province to integrate production resources from multiple high-quality manufacturers. This allows us to offer a wide range of sourcing options—covering various product categories and origins—instead of simply pushing a single product. Furthermore, our core competitiveness lies in our professional foreign trade services (covering documentation, logistics, and regulatory compliance), ensuring a smooth and worry-free procurement process for you.


Q2: How is the security of my transaction guaranteed when working with Huafeng Chemical?
A: We strictly adhere to international trade rules (Incoterms® 2020) and accept various payment methods, such as Letters of Credit (L/C) and Telegraphic Transfers (T/T). For new clients, we support small-batch trial orders and can clearly define arbitration clauses and applicable laws within the contract. Additionally, we maintain a robust risk management system to help you mitigate common trade risks, such as exchange rate fluctuations, shipping delays, and document discrepancies.


Q3: Do you have experience serving clients in Russian-speaking regions?
A: Yes. We place great importance on the Russian-speaking market; our team includes Russian-speaking business professionals who are well-versed in the import regulations of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). We understand the importance of EAC certification to clients in these regions and can assist with related compliance inquiries. We have established connections with chemical traders across various CIS countries and have gained valuable experience in specialized packaging and temperature-controlled shipping designed to withstand harsh local winter conditions.


Q4: How do you guarantee product quality?
A: We implement a strict supplier qualification and periodic audit system. A Certificate of Analysis (COA)—issued by the original manufacturer—is provided with every shipment. We also welcome pre-shipment inspections conducted by internationally recognized third-party agencies such as SGS, BV, or ITS. Should the test results fail to meet the standards specified in the contract, you have the right to reject the goods or request a replacement.
