Ammonium Nitrate (NH₄NO₃)

Ammonium Nitrate is a concentrated nitrogen fertilizer and a critical input for high-yield farming and various industrial applications, including mining and explosives. It contains 33.5% to 34.5% total nitrogen, divided between ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen, offering rapid plant uptake and sustained growth benefits.

At Cavin Resource, we supply agricultural-grade and technical-grade Ammonium Nitrate in bulk. Our product is manufactured using the neutralization of ammonia with nitric acid, followed by evaporation, prilling or granulation, and anti-caking treatment for safe handling and storage.

We ensure compliance with international safety and quality standards, including proper classification and documentation for export to global destinations.

⚙️ Production Method

Neutralization & Granulation Process

1. Ammonia is reacted with nitric acid in a neutralizer to form ammonium nitrate solution.

2. The solution is concentrated by evaporation.

3. The concentrated melt is solidified via prilling or granulation.

4. An anti-caking agent is applied before packaging.
