Ammonium Nitrate Electronics Grade

Produce nitrous oxide that meets the exacting requirements of the electronics industry.

The purest forms of Ammonium Nitrate possible are needed to create high-quality nitrous oxide (also known as Dinitrogen moNOxide, N₂O or laughing gas) for use in the electronics industry. In turn, this means gas suppliers need a secure supply of high-purity Ammonium Nitrate.

Uses in the electronics industry

Nitrous oxide is essential for VLSI (very large-scale integration) or ULSI (ultra-large-scale integration). It is used for the gas-phase chemical deposition stage during the production of semiconductors, LCD displays and thin-film oxides for products including:

Computers
Smart phones
Robots
Cars
Health devices
Space rockets

Safety dos and don'ts for handling and storing

Ammonium Nitrate Electronics Grade is not a toxic material, but exposure to decomposition product may cause a health hazard with toxic fumes. Although it is not itself combustible, Ammonium Nitrate can support combustion, even in absence of air.

Ammonium Nitrate can be stored and used safely provided safety instructions are followed.

Dos	Don'ts
Use only approved electrical equipment. Use safety warning symbols. Always keep a record of what is in storage and have storage instructions readily available. Train workers in safe handling and emergencies. Use first in, first out product movement. Ensure good housekeeping practices. Free access to emergency equipment and escape ways. Get manager's approval for maintenance work, and follow correct procedures. Label Ammonium Nitrate bags and bins correctly. Make safety inspections regularly.	Prevent entry for unauthorized persons. Forbid smoking or use of open fire. Prohibit gas bottles, oil drums and oil tanks, or fuel filling stations in the vicinity of Ammonium Nitrate. Don't use hot wire lamps. Use fluorescence type lamps avoiding contact with Ammonium Nitrate. Don't allow heat sources in contact with Ammonium Nitrate. No hot work unless authorised and done under strict control. Prevent contamination of Ammonium Nitrate with combustible and organic materials, oil and grease, acids and alkalis. Don't use sawdust for drying wet floors, use inert material instead.
