Product Description of Ammonium Nitrate 6484-52-2

Ammonium nitrate 6484-52-2, with the chemical formula NH4NO3, is a nitrate of the ammonium cation and is typically a white crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water, readily absorbs moisture and forms lumps, and absorbs a large amount of heat when dissolved. It can undergo explosive decomposition when subjected to violent impact or heat, and decomposes when exposed to alkalis. It is primarily used as a fertilizer and in industrial and military explosives.

Application of Butyl Ammonium Nitrate 6484-52-2

Ammonium nitrate has a wide range of applications, primarily used in the production of industrial explosives and agricultural nitro-based compound fertilizers. Due to its product diversity, the application areas of ammonium nitrate can be further categorized in multiple dimensions:

1.Industrial explosives: Low-density ammonium nitrate is used in mixed explosives (such as ANFO explosives), which release large amounts of gas (N₂, O₂) during detonation, making it suitable for explosive manufacturing and special chemical processes; high-density ammonium nitrate, due to its high stability, is commonly used as a component in safe explosives and is widely applied in mining, railway and road construction, and other fields.

2.Agricultural fertilizers: Agricultural-grade ammonium nitrate, containing 34% nitrogen, is used directly as a nitrogen fertilizer or in the formulation of compound fertilizers, rapidly increasing soil nitrogen content and promoting crop growth.

3.Industrial and chemical applications: Industrial-grade ammonium nitrate is used in the production of propellants, fireworks, and energetic materials; In commercial refrigeration, ammonium nitrate’s ability to absorb a large amount of heat when dissolved makes it a key component in refrigeration systems, used in temporary cooling systems; in glass manufacturing, ammonium nitrate is used as an oxidizing agent or clarifier to improve glass properties; in analytical reagents, ammonium nitrate is used in laboratory chemical analysis (such as nitrogen content determination).
