With the chemical formula NH₄NO₃, ammonium nitrate porous prills are highly hygroscopic, meaning they readily absorb moisture from the air.
While not commonly used in fireworks due to its hygroscopic nature, ammonium nitrate porous prills can be utilized in composite propellants, although their performance is inferior to perchlorate-based propellants.
Ammonium nitrate porous prills act as an oxygen source, accelerating the combustion of other materials in pyrotechnic compositions, but they do not burn on their own.
Due to its sensitivity to moisture and potential for spontaneous ignition when mixed with certain substances, careful handling and storage are essential when using ammonium nitrate porous prills in fireworks.
Ammonium nitrate porous prills are hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air, which may affect their performance and stability in pyrotechnic compositions.
Ammonium nitrate porous prills should never be mixed with chlorates, as this can lead to the formation of ammonium chlorate, which may spontaneously ignite. They should also be stored away from moisture and heat sources to prevent spontaneous ignition.
Store ammonium nitrate porous prills in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat sources, and ensure they are kept in a tightly sealed container.
Ensure that the use of ammonium nitrate porous prills complies with relevant quality standards and regulations to ensure safety and efficacy in pyrotechnic applications.
As pyrotechnic technology advances, there may be further innovations in the use of ammonium nitrate porous prills in fireworks production, potentially leading to improved performance and safety.

I purchased 4 lbs.
For use in an “Ammonal” based reaction test;
65% – NH4NO3
15% – TNT
20% – Aluminum powder
It’s performance was absolutely flawless. I highly recommend it for quality and price.

I have purchase this more than once for reactive rifle targets; very powerful performance is flawless. It is also the cheapest out there short of bulk order in the ton(s) amount.

I do a lot of long range shooting.. I’ll use 5-10 pounds during one (full) days shoot.. 500-1500 yards.. While I did have issues with the reactive targets out past 1200 yards.. That’s caliber specific and do to a lack of velocity. You can’t beat Fireworkscookbooks prices or quality. The $ you’ll save is significant!! I’ll be a repeat customer!!

If you are making reactive rifle targets this is the AN you need to be using. This is the blasting grade AN. The porous pills easily take up the Aluminum powder or metal powder of your choice.
