UFC85 is mainly used in urea fertilizer production as anti-caking and enhancement agent for urea fertilizer, as glue for wood processing, or as preservatives for medical and food industries.
Currently, domestic fertiliser plants need around 14,000 tonnes of UFC85 per year, which they used to import.
PVFCCo Director General Cao Hoai Duong said after Unit UFC85 is put into operation it will bring about a revenue of VND400-500 billion annually.
