How Urea Hydrogen Peroxide Works

On the mechanism of action of peroxyurea
Peroxyurea is a mixture of both urea and hydrogen peroxide. It is usually a white crystal with good stability and is easily soluble in water.

The effect of peroxyurea is first in its decomposition in contact with water. Water is the medium for all things biochemical. Peroxyurea gradually decomposes in contact with water and releases hydrogen peroxide. This hydrogen peroxide, a strong oxidizing agent, has the ability to sterilize and bleach. In the case of sterilization, it can break the cell wall, membrane and internal structure of microorganisms, causing inactivation of bacteria and achieving the effect of disinfection. In various medical places, this agent is often used to sterilize, keep the environment clean, and protect everyone's health.

Furthermore, the released hydrogen peroxide is also related to bleaching. In fabrics, paper, etc., the colored quality encounters this oxidant, and its structure changes due to oxidation, and the color fades away, achieving the purpose of bleaching. In daily homes, if the clothes are stained, use a lotion containing peroxyurea to wash them, remove the stains or remove them, and restore the color.

In addition to the decomposition of peroxyurea, urea remains. Urea is a commonly used nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. It can replenish nitrogen in the soil for plant growth. The plant root system absorbs it, and through a series of biochemical changes, it turns into its own substance, which helps the stems and leaves to flourish and the fruits to be fruitful.

Therefore, with its unique decomposition characteristics, peroxyurea can be used in sterilization, bleaching, and fertilizing fields, and has many benefits in life and production.
