To secure its supply, PT. MNK also actively involves in trades in relation to Ammonium Nitrate and other products for explosive services including accessories and other explosive equipments, by having cooperation with some expert vendors.
AMMONIUM NITRATE
Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) is one of many explosive raw material types in which its biggest components consist of AN mixed with fuel oil.
Based on the research studies, it is found that the experts in mining tend to use ANFO for its safe and economic characteristics.
Compared to other explosive raw materials, ANFO is categorized as dry-based and highly safe explosion both in underground explosion and in an open explosion with 1 to 12 inches or more diameters.
ACCESSORIES
Explosive material accessories types marketed and sold by PT. MNK for mining activities are:
Dynamite
Dynamite is an explosive material type that will only explode if being triggered by detonator. This type is used to explode bulk explosive material (ANFO, ANFO + emulsion).
For example: Powergel Magnum 3151, Powergel Magnum 365, Booster.
Detonator
Detonator is a muffle-shape containing explosive material (PETN) and functioning as explosion initial ignition.
For example: Electric Detonator, Non-electric Detonator, Electromagnetic detonator (ICON).
NITRIC ACID
Nitric Acid is a raw material of ammonium nitrate, and also used in organic synthetics (dyes, cellulose nitrate, polyurethane, etc.), and Metallurgy (steel etching, pickling).
Specification:
Strength : minimum 60 %
Oxide : maximum 0.01%
dissolved (as NO2)
EMULSION
PT. MNK keeps developing ammonium nitrate and its’ derivatives, and one of them is by producing emulsion that expected to be superior product of PT. MNK.
Bulk Explosive
It is an explosive material with elements that is not classified as explosive material but if each elements of its being mixed in a certain composition, it will become an explosive material.
