Ammonium Nitrate Fertilisers

Description

A white deliquescent crystalline solid.

Check chemical composition. Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidizing agent, can give off toxic gases if heated. As an oxidizing agent contact with combustible materials such as oil is dangerous.

Reference is made to the relevant IMO publications of hazardous cargo.
