Ammonium nitrate fertilizer is coated with limestone powder to reduce its explosiveness and improve safety in handling, storage, and transportation. Ammonium nitrate is highly reactive and can become explosive under certain conditions, especially when exposed to heat or contaminants.
Coating it with limestone powder stabilizes it and reduces the risk of accidental detonation, making it safer for agricultural use.
