Ammonium nitrate and Explosives and propellants

Explosives and propellants needs ammonium nitrate; their prices have moved together.

Ammonium nitrate (chemical) and Explosives and propellants (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Material need

Physical flow · Direct · Ammonium nitrate → Explosives and propellants

Building or running Explosives and propellants needs ammonium nitrate.

2. Price link: explosives

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Commercial explosives are mostly ammonium nitrate based, so explosive makers pass its cost on. The explosives manufacturing index moves with the proxy at 0.15 monthly and 0.60 yearly. Safety rules after past port explosions also raise storage and transport costs.
