PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PARTICULATE,WATER RESISTANT EXPLOSIVES BASED ON AMMONIUM NITRATE

摘要

An improved process for the manufacture of water resistant dry blasting agents. Powdered, solid, water blocking agent and solid fuel, if required, is added as a suspension in a liquid non-hydrating fuel phase to porous ammonium nitrate prills. The process thus avoids unevenness of coating with water blocking agent of prior art processes and is particularly suited to on-site truck mounted manufacturing of water resistant blasting agents.
