What is Ammonium Nitrate CAS 6484-52-2?

Ammonium Nitrate is the inorganic salt NH4NO3, with molecular weight about 80.04 g/mol and EINECS 229-347-8. It is a white crystalline or prilled solid widely used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer and in selected industrial applications.

Why is Ammonium Nitrate considered a fast-acting nitrogen fertilizer?

It supplies nitrogen in two plant-available forms: nitrate nitrogen, which can be taken up quickly, and ammonium nitrogen, which is gradually converted to nitrate in soil. With total nitrogen content near 34%, it supports rapid growth in cereals, oilseeds, forage, and other high-demand crops.

How should Ammonium Nitrate be stored to avoid caking?

Ammonium Nitrate is hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture, so it should be stored in closed, dry conditions away from water and high humidity. Agricultural prills or granules are often coated with anti-caking or conditioning agents, and stock should be managed to limit long-term moisture exposure.

What handling precautions apply to Ammonium Nitrate?

It is an oxidizing material, so it should be kept away from combustible materials, heat, and ignition sources and handled according to the applicable transport, storage, and site safety rules. It should not be contaminated with fuels, organic materials, or incompatible chemicals.

Product Description

Ammonium Nitrate CAS 6484-52-2 is the inorganic salt NH₄NO₃, with EINECS 229-347-8.

Synonyms: Nitric Acid Ammonium Salt; Ammonium(I) Nitrate; Nitrogenous Fertilizer Compound; Prilled Ammonium Nitrate; High-Nitrogen Agricultural Nutrient.

CAS: 6484-52-2.

Molecular formula: NH₄NO₃.

It is a white crystalline or prilled solid widely used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer and in selected industrial applications.

It supplies nitrogen in two plant-available forms: nitrate nitrogen, taken up quickly, and ammonium nitrogen, gradually converted to nitrate in soil.

With total nitrogen content near 34%, it supports rapid growth in cereals, oilseeds, forage and other high-demand crops.

It is also used in fertigation systems, NPK compound fertilizer production and some industrial fermentation as a nitrogen source.

It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture, so it should be stored in closed, dry conditions away from water and high humidity.

The typical total nitrogen content is about 34.0-34.8%, with ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen each about 17.0%.

The typical moisture is not more than 0.5%, with a pH of about 4.5-6.0 for a 10% aqueous solution.

It is an oxidizing material and should be kept away from combustible materials, heat and ignition sources.

Store in a dedicated, cool, dry, well-ventilated facility, isolated from organic materials, reducing agents, powdered metals and heat sources.

Protect from moisture and contamination, and keep containers closed when not in use.

Confirm appearance, total nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, moisture, pH, particle size and grade as required.

Use suitable eye and skin protection during handling, and wash skin contact with soap and water.

Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.
