UltrAN Ammonium Nitrate products

Name	Description
UltrAN 70	High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with high oil absorption and retention, suited to ANFO production. ANFO is the most widely used and economical civil explosive currently on the market. Can also be used for doping emulsions if this best fits your situation.
UltrAN 70 Low fume	UltraAN 70 Low fume offers greater blast flexibility while avoiding fumes. Designed for underground mines to avoid or reduce NOx emissions. Helps cut power costs required to pump out noxious gasses, reducing overall spend and enabling more continuous mining.
UltrAN 70 Tropical	High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with high oil absorption and retention, suited to ANFO production. Specially designed to make it suitable for wet and humid regions. Product is 100% free-flowing and can be stored for the longer-term because of its exclusive anti-caking technology.
UltrAN 80	Porous prill Ammonium Nitrate, free-flowing and well-suited to doping emulsions as it offers increased blast performance and improved sensitivity when blended to the matrix emulsion.
UltrAN 80 Tropical	Specially designed to make it suitable for wet and humid regions. Product is 100% free-flowing and can be stored for the longer-term because of its exclusive anti-caking technology. Well-suited to doping emulsions as it offers increased blast performance and improved sensitivity when blended to the matrix emulsion.
UltrAN 100	High density Ammonium Nitrate, providing higher energy blasts per m³.
UltrAN 100 E	A special grade of high density non-porous Ammonium Nitrate used in the manufacture of matrix emulsion. Provides higher energy blasts per m³. Effective in very wet conditions and climates because of its purified non-porous quality dense prill. It maintains its technical specifications in very wet situations.
UltrAN 100 NG	High purity, crystalline Ammonium Nitrate mainly used in the manufacture of dynamite.

UltrAN Calcium Nitrate products

Name	Description
UltrAN 110 CN	Easy to dissolve with a high mixing ability, UltrAN 110 CN is based on Calcium Nitrate. It can be used to help create a higher-energy emulsion with a longer shelf life. It increases the robustness of matrix emulsion so it can be transported over longer distances and still retain its original characteristics after product is re-pumped.
