What is Ammonium Nitrate?

Ammonium nitrate with Formulation NH4NO3 or H4N2O3 is a substance that can also be used by colorless, gravity, between nitric acid and ammonia in different environments. Production use to made agriculture fertilizer, children fire toy, insecticides, explosives, hair color and etc. It is common to use this material in agriculture and explosive substances which provide you with restrictions and prohibitions on the use of ammonium nitrate. is a leading supplier of agricultural ammonium nitrate which can offer the best quality and price based on its expertise.

Application of Ammonium Nitrate in Agriculture

Ammonium nitrate with formulation NH4NO3 is an agricultural fertilizer containing 2 to 5% nitrogen, which is widely used in agriculture due to its high nitrogen content and also ease of plant access to nitrogen.

Ammonium Nitrate - ANFO grade

ANFO has found wide use in coal mining, quarrying, metal mining, and civil construction in applications where its low cost and ease of use may outweigh the benefits of other explosives, such as water resistance, oxygen balance, higher detonation velocity, or performance in small-diameter column.
