Frequently Asked Questions

Because Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidizer that can be used to manufacture explosives, it is a controlled substance under the Ammonium Nitrate Rules, 2012 in India.

Melt is the hot liquid form usually transported in heated tankers for immediate processing. Prills are small beads made by spraying the melt; porous prills absorb oil better for mining applications.

Ammonium Nitrate itself does not burn, but it is a strong oxidizer that supports and intensifies the combustion of other materials.

Technically yes, but it is not cost-effective. Agricultural grade is specifically coated to prevent caking and is priced for the fertilizer market.
