Name

Description

UltrAN 70          

 

High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with high oil absorption and retention, suited for ANFO production. The low density and high porosity give UltrAN 70 improved sensitivity. UltrAN 70 is ideal for use in drill holes with diameter below 100 mm.

UltrAN 70 Tropical

 

High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with high oil absorption and retention, suited for ANFO production. The low density and high porosity give UltrAN 70 improved sensitivity. UltrAN 70 is ideal for use in drill holes with ddiameter below 100 mm. Specially designed to keep it free flowing during storage and use in tropical climate. It can be stored long term because of its unique anti-caking technology. 

UlrAN 75

High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with high oil absorption and retention, suited for ANFO production.

UltrAN 80

 

High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with good oil absorption and high retention, suited for ANFO production. The medium density gives UltrAN 80 higher energy concentration and makes it ideal for drill holes with diameter above 100 mm. 

UltrAN 80 Tropical

 

High quality Ammonium Nitrate porous prills with good oil absorption and high retention, suited for ANFO production. The medium density gives UltrAN 80 higher energy concentration and makes it ideal to drill holes with diameter above 100 mm. Specially designed to keep it free flowing during storage and use in tropical climate. It can be stored long term because of its unique anti-caking technology.

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 emulsion matrix. 

UltrAN 100 NG

 

High purity, crystalline Ammonium Nitrate mainly used in the manufacture of nitroglycerine explosives. 

UltrAN Calcium Nitrate products

Name Description
UltrAN 110 CN  UltrAN 110 CN is a Calcium Nitrate compound that is suitable for double salt emulsions. UltrAN is a cost-efficient product for such emulsions. It will improve the stability of the emulsion matrix thus enabling additional re-pumping and transportation stress.
