Coated Prilled Urea
Agricultural Grade — 46% Pure Nitrogen, Fine Size 1-2 mm, Ultra-fast Solubility, Coated for Gradual Release — Supplier: MizanPetroGas
Product Introduction
Coated Prilled Urea, also known in domestic and international markets as Agricultural Prilled Urea or Formaldehyde-treated Urea, is a highly efficient and powerful nitrogen-based fertilizer. With its 46% pure nitrogen content, it holds a special place in the agricultural industry and beyond. This material is produced through a specialized prilling process, where molten urea droplets fall from the top of a prilling tower and solidify into small, uniform spherical particles upon contact with a cool airflow.
The small, uniform size of the prilled urea supplied by MizanPetroGas (1 to 2 mm) results in a significantly higher surface area compared to granular urea. This feature means faster dissolution in water and immediate, efficient nutrient transfer to plant roots. The surface coating, containing 0.12% formaldehyde, acts as an anti-caking agent and a mild urease inhibitor, helping to maintain excellent flowability while controlling the nitrogen release rate in the soil.
Due to its robust and uniform physical structure, this grade of urea is highly suitable for handling, storage, and transportation. Furthermore, its non-toxic nature ensures it poses no risk to mammals or birds, making it a widely used environmentally friendly product in agriculture and forestry. Its high resistance to premature decomposition or evaporation during rainfall extends the fertilizer’s effectiveness in the soil and reduces the need for frequent applications—making it an economical and cost-effective choice for farmers and agricultural industry professionals.
Pricing and Purchasing Coated Prilled Urea
Given the continuous fluctuations in global oil and natural gas markets (the primary feedstock for urea production) and supply and demand conditions, the price of coated prilled urea is constantly changing and does not have a fixed rate. Additionally, logistics, maritime shipping, and land transport costs vary depending on the final destination and delivery terms (FOB, CFR, FCA). To monitor price trends, you can examine the chart provided in this section.

Technical and Structural Overview
Coated Prilled Urea is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂, produced through a prilling process involving the free-fall of molten urea droplets in a cooling tower. The output of this process is small spherical particles with a size of 1 to 2 mm and a smooth, polished surface. Unlike the granulation process, which produces larger (2-4 mm) and more irregular particles, the prilling process results in perfectly spherical, uniform, and dense grains.
The surface coating applied to this grade contains 0.12% formaldehyde, which mainly acts as an anti-caking agent, preventing particles from sticking together during long-term storage. This coating also functions as a mild urease inhibitor, moderating the rate of urea hydrolysis to ammonia in the soil. This gradual release feature is a key advantage over completely uncoated urea, as it prevents nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization and increases fertilizer application efficiency.
The biuret content in this grade is 0.85%, which is a perfectly standard and acceptable limit for agricultural use. While biuret concentrations above 2% can cause toxicity for some sensitive plants, the 0.85% level makes this product completely safe for a wide range of field crops and orchards.

Prill vs. Granule: Why Choose Prilled Urea?
Choosing between prilled urea and granular urea depends on your specific needs. Below are the key differences:
Particle Size
Prill: 1-2 mm (finer)
Granule: 2-4 mm (coarser)
Smaller particles = higher surface area and faster dissolution.
Solubility
Prill: Ultra-fast — ideal for fertigation and foliar spraying
Granule: Fast — suitable for direct soil spreading
Uptake Rate
Prill: Faster uptake due to higher surface area
Granule: More gradual uptake with longer durability
Prilled urea, due to its high dissolution rate and uniform spreading capability, is the best choice for fertigation, foliar spraying, and liquid fertilizer preparation. Furthermore, its formaldehyde coating provides more gradual release than completely uncoated urea, preventing rapid nitrogen loss.
Formaldehyde Coating: The Smart Particle Shield
The presence of 0.12% formaldehyde in the surface coating of prilled urea is a purposeful technical feature, not an impurity. This coating performs three key functions:
Prevention of Caking
Formaldehyde creates a thin layer on the particle surface, preventing moisture absorption and grain sticking in bags and silos. Result: excellent flowability even after months of storage.
Urease Inhibition
Formaldehyde slows down the activity of the urease enzyme (responsible for rapid hydrolysis of urea to ammonia). This means nitrogen is gradually available to the plant instead of being released all at once.
Reduction of Ammonia Loss
By slowing the hydrolysis process, ammonia evaporation into the atmosphere (volatilization) is prevented, and fertilizer use efficiency increases by up to 20% — more profit with less consumption.
