The anti-caking method of the present invention includes directly adding an anti-caking agent represented by the general formula (1) to urea, and mixing the mixture to sufficiently coat the surface, such as by treating with a coating drum or coating pan. Alternatively, it can be roughly divided into surface treatment methods, in which the fertilizer is diluted with machine oil and sprayed, and methods in which it is added to the molten state before granulation. Only by heating urea can a sufficient anti-caking effect be obtained. The heating temperature is preferably in the range of 50°C to 130°C, and more preferably in the range of 80°C to 130°C to obtain a higher caking prevention effect.

In addition, in carrying out the present invention, general formula (1) of the present invention
If an inorganic substance such as clay, talc, diatomaceous earth, or formalin is used in combination with the compound shown above, even better anti-caking properties will be exhibited. In particular, when formalin is used in combination, there are effects such as lowering the dust generation rate during granulation and increasing the hardness per granule, and good effects can also be obtained in terms of manufacturing.

In the caking prevention method of the present invention, a metal salt of a fatty acid is heated after treatment or added to molten urea, thereby forming an arrayed layer of molecules with hydrophobic groups (R-) facing outward on the urea surface. It is thought that the anti-caking property is achieved by significantly improving the surface properties of urea and increasing its surface smoothness, but the details are not clear.
