eae aaaPrillex’ Uses
The main use of Prillex® Ammonium Nitrates is the manufacture of ANFO.
and heavy ANFO, as a low-cost blasting agent compared to other
products available in the market.
The high porosity ofthe Prllex” prills allows great oll retention
‘capacity, which reaches over 129.
Experience has shown that to obtain the Oxygen Balance (5.7% Oil and
{94.3% Ammonium Nitrate), the ANFO blend requires a high ol!
retention capacity pri, Prillex* ensures excellent il retention, allowing
a stoichiometric blend along with an excess of free porosity that allows
{an effective action ofthe "Hot Spots" inthe explosive blend.
‘The small dimensions of the pores increase surface tension, thus
obtaining better contact between liquid and solid due tothe effect of
capillarity on the ol thats drawn to the center of the Ammonium
Nitrate pil.
For instance, in the heavy ANFOs,Pillex® porosity can sensitize the
emulsion phase, thus eliminating the use of glass microspheres or
