Porous Prill Ammonium Nitrate (PPAN)
CAS No.: 6484-52-2 EINECS: 229-347-8
Molecular Formula: NH4NO3 Molecular Weight: 80.04
Property:
PPAN is short for Porous Prill Ammonium Nitrate. It is solid type, inorganic oxide, and subjected to decompose when contacting organic and at high temperature. Decomposition temperature is 210℃. PPAN is extremely hygroscopic. The PPAN production adopts the KT technology of France, and the product is characterized by low content of water, anti-caking, high-crushing strength and high oil absorption. Our PPAN is treated with anti-caking agent.

Usage:
PPAN is commonly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. More importantly, PPAN has also been used in mining and quarrying. Our PPAN has the following advantages:
1. Cost effective
2. Consistent prill quality
3. Convenient mixed at the borehole
4. Easily primed
5. Safe and reliable
PPAN is also used in instant cold packs, as hydrating the salt is an endothermic process.
