Область применения

The main consumers of ammonium nitrate are the following industries:

- Agriculture ;

- Manufacture of compound fertilizers ;

- Mining complex ( as a component of explosives );

- The coal industry ;

- Manufacture of explosives;

- The construction industry ;

- Furniture and wood industry;

- Petrochemicals.

Universal highly concentrated nitrogen fertilizer containing ammonium and nitrate forms of nitrogen  in equal quantities to supply the plants throughout the growing strength of the period. Can be used on all soils and all crops.  Most effective in early spring feeding winter crops as basic fertilizer for spring crops , corn, sunflower , etc. In row application for potatoes, beets , etc. good effect is obtained by simultaneous application of phosphorus and potassium. Use it for fertilizer and fertilizing of winter grain and tilled crops . Fractional make ammonium nitrate to reduce the loss of nitrate nitrogen leaching . On calcareous soils contributes to acidification of the ground. It has excellent physicochemical characteristics , which facilitates storage and application . Fully water-soluble .In addition , ammonium nitrate is widely used for the production of complex fertilizers , as well as various types of fertilizer mixtures

Packaging and storage

Ammonium nitrate packed in polypropylene bags with valve and liner made ​​of polyethylene film (type B)  Ts 00203849-105:2017. Product weight in bags must be no more than 50 kg with a tolerance of ± 0,5 kg. Released to consumers in bags and in bulk. Ammonium nitrate packed in polypropylene bags, stored in a covered, dry and clean warehouses,  protecting the product from moisture. Ammonium nitrate packed in bulk, stored in warehouses with controlled temperature (less than 30 0 C) and humidity (no more than 50%)

Transportation

Transportation nitrate in bags made ​​in covered railway wagons and auto transport. Nitrate can be transported unpackaged in mineral fertilizer or cement hopper and trucks with shelter

Product safety information

Ammonium nitrate is a class IV hazard ( low-hazardous substances ) . Maximum permissible concentration of ammonium nitrate in the working area of industrial premises - 10 mg/m3.Ammonium nitrate is an oxidizing agent and a fire hazard. At a temperature of 210 0C and interaction with sulfur, pyrite sulfur , acids, superphosphate , bleach powder E - metals (especially zinc ) decomposes releasing toxic oxides of nitrogen and oxygen. The escaping oxygen can cause a fire of combustible materials ( bags ) and , as a consequence , the fire . Ammonium nitrate in terms of explosion relatively insensitive to shock , friction, impact , remains stable in contact with sparks of varying intensity. In the case of ammonium nitrate contamination of organic materials or strong fire decomposition of ammonium nitrate can go into an explosion . Fires arising from open flame or due to detonation , high temperature salt and lack of heat exchange with air ( closed space ) , melts , decomposes explosively .
