Ammonium nitrate

Ammonium nitrate

Siman Ltd can offer the two types of the industrial ammonium nitrate- high density ammonium nitrate and low density ammonium nitrate.

Ammonium nitrate comes in two primary forms based on density: high-density (HDAN) and low-density (LDAN). The density of ammonium nitrate influences its applications, especially in the explosives and oil and gas (Fracking/Well Stimulation) industries.

1. Low-Density Ammonium Nitrate (LDAN):

  • Description: Low-density ammonium nitrate is typically used for explosives, particularly in the production of ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil), where its porous structure allows it to absorb fuel oil. LDAN is also referred to as porous prilled ammonium nitrate.
  • Density: The bulk density of LDAN is typically between 0.6 to 0.9 g/cm³.

2. High-Density Ammonium Nitrate (HDAN):

  • Description: High-density ammonium nitrate is primarily used as a fertilizer. Its non-porous nature makes it less suited for explosive applications but ideal for agricultural uses where it acts as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer for crops.
  • Density: The bulk density of HDAN is typically between 0.9 to 1.1 g/cm³.

Packing- 25 kg bags; big bags.
