Description
Ammonium Nitrate Porous Prills (PPAN) – Use in Moderately Wet Blastholes
Ammonium Nitrate Porous Prills (PPAN) are widely used in moderately wet blastholes, where water-resistant explosives are critical. PPAN offers low sensitivity, high detonation reliability, and controlled energy release, ensuring safe and efficient rock fragmentation even under challenging conditions.
Market Overview
The demand for PPAN is increasing as mining and civil infrastructure projects prioritize precision, safety, and water-resilient blasting solutions. PPAN allows controlled energy release in blastholes with moisture content while complying with international regulations. For detailed guidance on PPAN blasting in wet conditions ↗.
