PSAN = Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate

Engel and coworkers [57] have reported the manufacturing process of phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) by inducing metal complexes into AN lattices and by using surfactants to modify its properties. Kim [58] has prepared PSAN by precipitation with KN03 from a solution of their salts by the addition of acetone. Kempa et al. [59] have incorporated diammine copper (II) in the AN lattice to improve the phase-transition behavior. Krishnamurthy [60] has reported modification of phase IV—III transition by co-crystallization of AN with KF and KN03. On the other hand, Mishra [61] has reported KF as an effective phase stabilizer for... 

Alternatively, ammonium nitrate (AN, QCq2 = 20.0 %, begins decomposition at m.p. = 169.9 °C, complete decomposition at 210 °C) has been discussed, however this compound has severe burn rate issues. Furthermore, AN is hygroscopic and shows phase transitions from one polymorph to another at 125.2 °C, 84.2 °C, 32.3 °C and -16.9 °C. Phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) and spray crystallized AN (SCAN) are special qualities provided by ICT.
