Ammonium Nitrate
Ammonium Nitrate is the main component of ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate / Fuel Oil), a very popular explosive, which is the most widely used explosive in coal mining, quarrying, metal mining, and civil construction.
ANFO has largely replaced dynamites and gelatines in bench blasting. Advantages of ANFO are safety, ease of loading, and low price. In Australia, approximately 95% of ammonium nitrate is used for explosives in the mining and construction industries.
ANFO must be handled and stored following the highest quality, safety and environmental standards. FTP offers outstanding engineer, design and construction experience to potential clients looking for an integrated solution in this new, specialised, and rapidly growing market.
