Description
Premium Lightweight Prills for Explosives and Fertilizer Applications
Porous Prills Ammonium Nitrate, also known as Low-Density Ammonium Nitrate (LDAN), is a porous granular compound with 33–34% nitrogen content. Engineered through specialized milling and prilling processes, it produces lightweight, porous granules that exhibit superior fuel absorption capacity—perfect for explosive production—and rapid dissolution for agricultural applications.
With a unique porosity and uniform particle size, these prills provide unmatched performance in ANFO mixtures, bulk fertilizer blends, and industrial oxidizer uses.
