Biuret Usage Guideline Biuret was a hot topic of livestock research in the 60s and 70s and almost 50 research articles have been published about biuret since in 1959. Biuret is a feed ingredient that offers many benefits over the use of traditional urea. But because biuret was kept exclusively within the ruminant product portfolio of Moorman Manufacturing (now ADM) until very recently, the history of biuret was unknown to many. Below is the history of the development of feed-grade biuret. Usage Guide For dark Benefits backgrounds: Biuret attracts little water, Biuret is extremely safe.

  • NMR Analysis to Identify Biuret Groups in Common Polyureas
    Chinese Journal of POLYMER SCIENCE ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1007/s10118-018-2130-y Chinese J. Polym. Sci. 2018, 36, 1150–1156 NMR Analysis to Identify Biuret Groups in Common Polyureas Wei-Guang Qiu, Fei-Long Zhang, Xu-Bao Jiang*, and Xiang-Zheng Kong* College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Jinan, Jinan 250022, China Abstract Polyureas (PU) are well known as a class of high impact engineering materials, and widely used also in emerging advanced applications. As a general observation, most of them are only soluble in a very limited number of highly protonic solvents, which makes their chemical structure analysis a great challenge. Besides the presence of abundant hydrogen bonding, the poor solubility of PU in common organic solvents is often ascribed to the formation of biuret crosslinking in their molecular chains. To clarify the presence of biuret groups in PU has been of great interest. To this end, two samples, based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) respectively, were synthesized by precipitation polymerization of each of these diisocyanates in water-acetone at 30 °C. Their chemical structures were analyzed by high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR, and through comparison of their NMR spectra with those of specially prepared biuret-containing polyurea oligomers, it was concluded that biuret group was absent in all the PU prepared at 30 °C. In addition, this NMR analysis was also applied to a PU obtained by copolymerization of TDI with ethylene diamine (EDA) and water at 65 °C in EDA aqueous solution. It was confirmed that biuret unit was also absent in this PU and that EDA was more active than water towards TDI.

Moreover, it is not clear whether covalent bonds are neces- sary for durable wood adhesion. To better formulate an Abstract adhesive with high bondline durability, the molecular char- acteristics of the interaction between the adhesive and wood Solution-state NMR provides a powerful tool to observe the should be better understood (Yelle 2009).
