Used as a protein denaturantUrea is a raw fabric for the manufacture of organic resins and is used as protein denaturant sealant and in agriculture, dyes, fuels, functional fluids, intermediates, paint additives and coating additives. Urea is used as a nitrogen-release fertilizer, on-corroding alternative to rock salt for road de-icing, browning agent in factory-produced pretzels, cloud seeding agent, a deep eutectic solvent and type of ionic liquid.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
