It is used in the manufacture of ammonium nitrate for Fertilizer, Mining and Technical; synthesis of chemical products such as plastic, dyes, explosives; etc. Neutraliser in latex industries. Chemical washing and pickling of steel and alloy metals; for polishing and brightening aluminium and different alloys.
Used in combination with fuel gas for oxyacetylene cutting and welding, flame straightening, flame hardening, flame cleaning, flame enrichment in various forms (oxy-fuel mixture), it accelerates the burning of fuel gases for higher combustion. It has wide applications in iron and steel and metallurgy.
Nitrogen, being an inert gas, has several applications in the industrial field. It is used as an inert, protective or insulating atmosphere. As an inert gas for removal of dissolved gases in liquids (degassing) and for liquid agitation. As a cleaning and drying agent, in chemistry and petrochemistry. In the food industry it is used as a modified atmosphere.
Industrias Cachimayo S.A. refills liquid nitrogen in cryogenic containers, Dewar vessels, gas bottles and thermos flasks. The production of liquid nitrogen takes place in the fractionation plant where nitrogen is separated from oxygen.
One of its main applications is its use as a raw material to produce bulk, pumpable, and packaged emulsions. Due to the external additive this product contains, it can be used easily in the dissolution process. Its main application is the preparation of oxidant solutions, used in the production of explosive emulsions.
Prillex® Ammonium Nitrate is a prilled product manufactured by Enaex S.A. and designed with advanced technology, which gives micropores and an excellent microcrystalline structure to the entire prill grain.
