I found this. Apparently it was called Nitriprill HD.

“The Nitroprill HD indicating high density is probably physically robust porous prill with a built-in resistance to breakdown due to temperature cycling and abrasion as indicated by western experts”

speculation is that Nitroprill HD is a knockoff of Orica’s Nitropril:

the technical data sheet for Nirtropril states:

Safety Features

Nitropril™ is a strong oxidizing substance, which will react with organic materials, reducing agents and metal powders. Whilst not combustible on its own, Nitropril™ supports combustion and increases the intensity of a fire.

Nitropril™ is not readily detonated in unconfined conditions, but will react with materials such as strong reducing agents and metal powders.

When heated to decomposition, Nitropril™ produces nitrous
oxide and white ammonium nitrate mist and or brown fumes.
Brown fumes indicate the presence of toxic oxides of nitrogen”
