FAQ about Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate

1.Q: What is Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN)?

   A: The most notable feature of Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN) is the porous structure inside the particles. This structure gives it low moisture content, good loose texture, and excellent flowability, as well as a high oil absorption rate.

2.Q: What is the main use of Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN)?

    A: It can manufacture ANFO. Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN) is the core ingredient in the production of Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) explosives. Its porous structure allows it to quickly and evenly adsorb fuel oil, forming a high-performance explosive.

3.Q: What are the hazardous properties of Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN)?

    A: Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate(PPAN) is classified as a Class 5.1 Oxidizer and has two major hazardous properties. The first one is its strong oxidizing property. In the event of a fire involving combustible materials, it can intensify the fire. The second one is its explosion risk. When mixed with reducing agents, organic matter, flammable substances (such as sulfur and phosphorus), or metal powders, it can form explosive mixtures that may ignite or explode upon friction, shock, or impact. It may also explode when subjected to strong shock or rapid heating.
