Blasting agents

Blasting agents are chemical substances used in the manufacture of explosives. They are designed to be stable enough to handle safely, but when properly detonated, they produce a powerful explosion. Common examples include ammonium nitrate and other nitrate-based compounds. These agents are often used in construction, mining, and demolition to break rock or large structures. While they are useful for controlled explosions, they can be dangerous if misused or mishandled, which is why strict regulations govern their storage and transportation.
