  • Method of improving the crushing strength, impact resistance and compressibility of urea, and urea composition
    Patent number: 8084642
    Abstract: A method of improving the crushing strength, impact resistance and the compressibility of urea granules by the addition of a compound to the molten urea, wherein the compound comprises both a polyvinyl compound and an organic molecule consisting of 1-10 carbon atoms and 1-10 polar organic groups.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2003
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Yara International ASA
    Inventors: Erik Bijpost, Luc Vanmarcke, John van der Hoeven, Ruud van Belzen
  • Urea composition having reduced compressibility, cake formation and dust formation, and process for its preparation
    Patent number: 7824565
    Abstract: Colorfast urea composition having reduced compressibility, cake formation and tendency of re-crystallization of the urea granulate, wherein the granulate further contains at least two different biodegradable polymers, of which at least one polymer is preferably a polyalkenyl amine compound. The other polymer is preferably polyaspartic acid or polyvinyl alcohol. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of such a urea composition.

  • Method of improving the properties of urea granules
    Publication number: 20070125142
    Abstract: A method of improving the properties of urea granulates, more especially the caking tendency, the dust formation and the foaming tendency in aqueous media, by the addition of an additive to the urea, wherein the additive comprises a carboxylic acid compound with the general formula XY—(Z)—COOH, in which Z is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon with 1-25 carbon atoms and X and Y are selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom or a polar organic functional group, and in that the additive is added as a solution in a polar solvent to the urea granulates, which are subsequently dried.
