Urea hydrochloric acid

I have looked extensively for any information on the mixture of urea and hydrochloric acid concentrates . Urea Sulfuric and Urea phosphoric acids are noted as adducts. Anyone know if urea hydrochloric acid is an adduct?

I dont see why it should be. Technically a salt is a mixture of an anion/cation (sounds waffly i know). Whether the anion is sulphate, chloride, nitrate, whatever, shouldnt matter at all.
It will be an ionic product, just like all the others.
Unless you have another definition of adduct, so please specify.

Edit: I just remembered the famous acetaldehyde/ H2SO3 adducts- is that what you are referring to?
