Anfo and Nitral
ANFO explosives are supplied either in bags or cartridge form and are suitable for use in dry borehole conditions. MCS's range of ANFO explosives includes NITRO and NITRAL.
NITRO and NITRAL are oxygen-balanced, free-flowing mixtures of ammonium nitrate prills and fuel oil. The lack of water resistance and low bulk strength of ANFO have to be recognized when designing blasts using these products.
