Expan™ is an innovative PPAN (porous prilled Ammonium Nitrate) product where, in addition to natural porosity, plastic microspheres are included in each Ammonium Nitrate Prill. When used as a component for Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) or heavy ANFO blends, such as the premium E6000P, microspheres result in more ideal detonation behaviour and therefore favourable blast performance.
Expan™ is an innovative PPAN (Porous Prilled Ammonium Nitrate) product where, in addition to natural porosity, sensitising plastic microspheres are included in each Ammonium Nitrate Prill. When used as a component for Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) or heavy ANFO systems, the microspheres result in more ideal detonation behaviour and therefore favourable blast performance. Expan™ is manufactured in three grades, varying in microsphere content, to provide the customer with a product that represents the highest value-solution for the specific application. All three grades are available as a bulk product.
