ANFO
explosives are supplied either in cartridge or bulk form and are
suitable for use in dry borehole conditions. EPC-UK's range of ANFO
explosives includes Ammospex and Ammoblast.
Ammospex and ammoblast are oxygen balanced,
free flowing mixture of ammonium nitrate prills and fuel oil. The lack of water resistance and low bulk strength
of ANFO have to be recognised when designing blasts using these product.
Bulk ANFO may be delivered in a variety of approved containers and weights.
These products are available in the following packaging:
Ammospex - 2.5Kg cartridges, 10 cartridges per box
Ammoblast - 25Kg bags, 1 bag per box.

the hazard class compatibility group is 1.1D.
