In modern agriculture, optimizing nutrient utilization is paramount for sustainable growth and increased productivity. N-Butyl-thiophosphoric Triamide, commonly known as NBPT, stands as a pivotal innovation in this endeavor. As a highly effective urease inhibitor, NBPT plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers, particularly urea, which is widely used globally.

NBPT's primary function is to inhibit the activity of urease enzymes in the soil. Urease is a naturally occurring enzyme produced by soil microorganisms that rapidly hydrolyzes urea into ammonium and then to ammonia gas. This process leads to significant nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization, reducing the amount of nitrogen available for plant uptake. By slowing down this conversion, NBPT ensures that nitrogen remains in the soil in a more stable form for a longer period, allowing crops more time to absorb the vital nutrient.

The benefits of using NBPT are substantial. Studies and widespread application in countries such as the United States, Brazil, and Germany have demonstrated its ability to increase nitrogen fertilizer utilization efficiency by an impressive 30% to 40%. This translates directly into improved crop yields, often by 10% to 20%, without the need for increased fertilizer application. Furthermore, NBPT contributes to environmental sustainability. Its half-life in soil is typically 7-8 days, and its final decomposition products, including ammonium, sulfate, and phosphate, have no negative effects on soil health, microorganisms, humans, animals, or water bodies. The product has even undergone rigorous testing and received approval from the US Food Safety Administration (FDA) for its safety profile, making it a reliable choice for agricultural applications.

Chemically, NBPT is identified by its molecular formula C4H14N3PS and a molecular weight of 167.21300. It typically presents as a white to off-white crystalline solid or powder. Its physical properties include a melting point ranging from 56°C to 60°C, a boiling point of approximately 277.4°C at 760 mmHg, and a flash point of 96°C. It exhibits a density of 1.171 g/cm3 and a water solubility of 4.3 g/L at 25°C, while also being soluble in common organic solvents like DMSO, methanol, dichloromethane, and ether. Our product adheres to stringent quality controls, consistently demonstrating an assay purity of greater than or equal to 97.0%.

Beyond its dominant role in agriculture, NBPT's unique properties lend themselves to a range of other industrial applications. It is utilized in the material industry as an anticorrosion agent and flame retardant, enhancing the durability and safety of plastics and rubber. In metal processing, it acts as an effective anticorrosion agent, extending the lifespan of metal parts. Moreover, NBPT serves as a valuable catalyst and reactant in various chemical syntheses, particularly in phosphating reactions, accelerating processes and improving yields.

For optimal performance and shelf life, NBPT should be stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse, preferably at around -20°C or at room temperature in original, tightly closed containers, protected from light and heat. It is typically supplied in 25kg cardboard drums or 500kg bags, offering versatile packaging options to suit different operational scales.
