John, I suppose in the trade, the stuff is commonly called urea.  It is also called polyurea in the trade, because it contains a series of urea units linked.  But the linkage is through another organic unit.  The stuff could as well be named poly-whatever-the-other-organic-linkage is, say poly-vinyl chloride.  That name is already used for another material, and I doubt that the linkage is vinyl chloride anyway.  But, the linkage of the urea units is through a plastic resin of some sort.  The material is not simply urea, which when dry is simply a crystalline solid that would be rather weak and is water soluble.  mcneely

However, the mention by another poster that one could simply pea in the exhaust fluid tank would not be a good idea, I am sure.  Urine is not pure urea and water, but contains other substances.  mcneely
