Feature
N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) from Huashihang Chemical Group is a white crystalline solid.
Its molecular weight of 229.3 g/mol. It is a stable compound with a melting point of 110-112°C and a boiling point of 397.6°C at 760 mmHg. NBPT is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 200 g/L at 25°C.
NBPT is also known for its low toxicity and environmental impact. It has been classified as a low-risk substance by the European Union. It is not considered a hazardous material under normal handling conditions. This makes NBPT a safe and effective option for use in agriculture and other industries.
Use
Agricultural
N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) is used as a urease inhibitor in agriculture.
Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. It makes nitrogen loss from soil through volatilization. NBPT inhibits the activity of urease. It reduces the conversion of urea into ammonia.
NBPT is commonly a fertilizer additive, particularly in urea-based fertilizers.
NBPT has also use in turf management, particularly for golf courses and sports fields.
Industry
The study says NBPT has one use as a corrosion inhibitor for metal surfaces and as a flotation agent for minerals.
Pharmaceuticals
NBPT has also promise as a potential drug candidate. Some studies suggesting it has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
Packaging
25kg/Cardboard drum or Kraft paper bag, 500kg/jumbo bag
Storage
Store in cool and dry air-flowing area preventing sunlight. Shelf life: One year.
