Available in both bulk and bagged form, ANFO Prilled Ammonium Nitrate (AN) is a nominal blend of porous Ammonium Nitrate prill and fuel oil. It is a dry, free flowing explosive; formulated to ensure the appropriate oxygen balance providing optimal energy and sensitivity.
Although ANFO has zero water resistance, it has a wide variety of applications in dry hole blasting conditions. It's one of the most cost efficient blasting agents available for use in small, medium or large diameter applications. When pneumatically loaded; ANFO may also be used effectively in underground development and tunneling applications.
ANFO provides excellent heave energy compared with explosives that contain a high emulsion content. ANFO is a dry and free flowing product, allowing delivery by loose pour or pneumatic loading. The low bulk density of ANFO provides excellent charge distribution in the blast hole. DYNOMIX™ Booster Sensitive Explosive
DYNOMIX is a prilled Ammonium Nitrate/fuel oil explosive mixture suitable for use in dry borehole conditions when primed with either nitroglycerin dynamite or a cast booster. It's available packaged in a variety of sizes and types of bags or delivered in bulk. For bulk delivery, it can be premixed and delivered to overhead storage bins, mixed on-site with stationary equipment and loaded into blast hole delivery trucks or mixed as it is loaded down-the-hole with specialized mobile equipment. DYNOMIX is used for quarry, surface mining, construction and underground blasting operations.
DYNOMIX WR is a premixed, free-flowing, limited water resistant explosive that uses a special mixture of ingredients to coat surface of the ANFO prills. This coating helps block water penetration and enables detonation in damp borehole conditions. In certain situations, DYNOMIX WR can fill the gap between regular ANFO and packaged explosive products and is available in various sizes and types of bags.
