Mining and explosives

Technical-grade ammonium nitrate to a purity and porosity specification, inside a permit regime.

Technical and porous grade ammonium nitrate is not agricultural AN with a different label. Oil absorption, porosity, bulk density and the absence of specific contaminants decide whether the material performs in an ANFO mix at all, and a grade that meets a fertilizer specification can fail an explosives one comfortably.

It is also the most tightly controlled product in this catalogue. Supply is conditional on end use, on the buyer's licences, and on the regime of both origin and destination. We treat that as the first question of the enquiry rather than the last.

Access to this category on our site is subject to verification for that reason. It is not a formality — it is the condition on which the material can lawfully be offered at all.

What matters here

The questions this buyer asks

  • A specification that performs, not one that merely passes

    Oil absorption, porosity, bulk density, particle size and contaminant limits are quoted against your mix design, not against a generic fertilizer datasheet.

  • Permits and end use established up front

    Licences, end-use declarations and destination controls are checked at the enquiry stage. We will decline an enquiry we cannot supply lawfully, and we will say why.

  • Security-compliant transport

    Class 5.1 movements under ADR, RID and IMDG with a security plan, sealed and tracked equipment, and DGSA oversight of the file.

  • Consistency between deliveries

    Independent sampling and analysis on every lot, with retained samples, so a change in behaviour on site can be traced to a batch.
