AMMONIUM NITRATE
POROUS PRILLS

Product Description

​

Industrial Grade AMMONIUM NITRATE prills are specifically designed to be used as a solid oxidizer ingredient for explosive compositions such as ANFO, WR ANFO, Heavy ANFO emulsion and watergels. They are small-sized, low-moisture content, non-setting, porous spheres (prills) which are a lower density than agricultural grade AMMONIUM NITRATE used for fertilizer. The particle density of the prills is such that, when liquid fuel is properly applied to and mixed with them, the prills absorb the fuel uniformly which enhances reactivity. AMMONIUM NITRATE is highly soluble in water and does not precipitate with any common chemical. Industrial Grade AMMONIUM NITRATE is available in bulk by railcar or truck.

​

Application  Recommendations

•Industrial Grade AMMONIUM NITRATE is used extensively in the mining industry and is intentionally made very porous to allow for the rapid uptake of liquid fuel oil. The prill is coated with a trace amount of waxy anti-caking material to enhance flowability and handling characteristics.

•AMMONIUM NITRATE will decompose into ammonia and nitric acid fumes at 350°F
