Porous
Prill Ammonium Nitrate (PPAN)
CAS No.: 6484-52-2 EINECS: 229-347-8
Molecular Formula: NH4NO3 Molecular
Weight: 80.04
Molecular Structure:
Property:
PPAN is short for Porous Prill Ammonium Nitrate. It is solid type, inorganic oxide, and
subjected to decompose when contacting organic and at high temperature. Decomposition
temperature is 210℃. The PPAN production adopts the KT technology of France,
and the product is characterized by low content of water, anti-caking, high
crushing strength, and high oil absorption.
Our PPAN is treated with anti-caking
agent.

Usage:
PPAN is
commonly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. More importantly,
PPAN has also been used as an oxidizing agent in explosives, including
improvised explosive devices. It is the main component of ANFO, a popular
explosive, which accounts for 80% explosives used in North America.
Corresponding benefits are as follows:
1. Cost effective
2. Consistent prill quality
3. Convenient mixed at the borehole
4. Easily primed
5. Safe and reliable
PPAN is also
used in instant cold packs, as hydrating the salt is an endothermic process.
Package and storage::
25kg bag and 1,000kg bag with
PE liner inside.
PPAN
is extremely hygroscopic and must be stored in a cool, dry and unconfined space.
Avoid contamination with organic material.
Special
precautions: PPAN is moderately toxic; and may decompose under confinement and
high temperature. Under extreme conditions an explosion may occur.
