Ammonium Nitrate is a crystalline white solid widely utilized within the Energy & Agriculture sector as a dual-source nitrogen fertilizer for large-scale crop cultivation. This inorganic salt functions by delivering nitrogen in two distinct forms: the nitrate ion, which is immediately available for plant uptake, and the ammonium ion, which undergoes gradual nitrification to provide sustained nourishment throughout the growing cycle. In industrial agricultural processes, it is typically applied in prilled or granular form to ensure uniform distribution and optimal solubility in irrigation systems. The chemical stability and nutrient density of this compound make it a preferred choice for high-yield farming of cereals, oilseeds, and forage crops. We provide this essential agricultural raw material with competitive factory pricing to meet global bulk demands, offering customized specifications regarding coating agents and particle size distributions to prevent caking. All shipments are managed under strict regulatory compliance and are accompanied by MSDS, TDS, COA to ensure safe handling and verification of nitrogen content, supporting reliable bulk supply for international distributors and farming cooperatives.

Applications
- Direct Soil Application: Used as a top-dressing fertilizer for wheat, corn, and cotton to promote rapid vegetative growth.
- Fertigation Systems: Highly soluble form used in specialized irrigation and liquid fertilizer blending.
- Compound Fertilizer Production: Serves as a base nitrogen component in the manufacturing of NPK (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) blends.
- Industrial Fermentation: Utilized in some industrial processes as a nitrogen source for microbial growth.
Storage & Safety
- Storage: Store in a dedicated, cool, dry, and well-ventilated facility. Keep strictly isolated from organic materials, reducing agents, powdered metals, and heat sources. Ensure the storage area is protected from moisture to prevent clumping.
- Safety (PPE): Wear standard protective gear, including dust masks, safety goggles, and gloves during handling. Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidizing agent; follow all local and international maritime (IMDG) regulations for the transport and storage of hazardous chemicals.
Quality Assurance
Our production of Ammonium Nitrate follows rigorous safety and quality protocols. We employ specialized anti-caking treatments to ensure the free-flowing property of the prills during long-term storage and transport. Each batch is tested for nitrogen purity and moisture levels to guarantee consistent field performance. We adhere to all international security and safety standards required for the handling of nitrate-based compounds.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
How is the identity of CAS 6484-52-2 confirmed in technical documentation?
A: The identity is verified through the CAS registry number 6484-52-2 and the specific nitrogen distribution ratio of 1:1 between ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen. This is explicitly detailed in the COA to distinguish it from other nitrogenous salts like Ammonium Sulfate or Urea. -
Q:
Is this product suitable for use in high-moisture tropical agricultural environments?
A: Yes, while Ammonium Nitrate is hygroscopic, our industrial supply is typically treated with a specialized surface coating (anti-caking agent). This treatment is intended to minimize moisture absorption and maintain the structural integrity of the prills, ensuring they remain suitable for mechanical broadcasting in various climatic conditions.
