CAPE AQUATIC HUMATES:

What does one do with Humates?

Humic acid
Humic acid is one of the major components of humic substances. Chemically, it is a super-molecular aromatic acid composed by various functional groups, taking on effects of sorption, complexation, chelation, flocculation, which dissolves loads of hydrophobic matters. They can also be found in peat, coal, many upland streams and ocean water.

Major applications:
Humic acid is mainly employed in industry in forms of additive, its effects are: to improve product quality, to retrench raw material and to reduce energy expenditure; for instance, it may be applied as boiler water soften agent and as petroleum drilling fluid decreasing and filtering agent. By chelating the ions, humic acids facilitate the uptake of these ions by several mechanisms, one of which is preventing their precipitation, another seems to be a direct and positive influence on their bioavailability. They also dissolve loads of hydrophobic matters and along with the above characteristic they take care of harmful matters, preventing waters from contamination.
Since their pH values are below 7, namely acidic, humic acids alleviate the world-challenging issue of soil salinisation.

Key Terms in this Section

Key terms in this section are defined below. For a complete list, see the Glossary of D&B Terms.

Branches or Divisions

A branch is a secondary location of a business. It has no legal responsibility for its debts, even though bills may be paid from the branch location. It will have the same legal business name as its headquarters, although branches frequently operate under a different trade style. A branch may be located at the same address as the headquarters if it has a unique trade style and unique operations. In such cases, the branch will appear to be a duplicate of the headquarters record.

A division is an operating unit of a business entity with a specific divisional name performing a specific activity normally different than the activity performed at the Headquarters. A division is different than a branch in that the division is operated like a separate and unique entity (it may have divisional officers; however, it is not legally a separate entity).

D&B D-U-N-S® Number
A non-indicative, nine-digit number assigned to each business location identified in the D&B database as having a unique, separate, and distinct operation. Maintained solely by D&B, the D&B D-U-N-S (Data Universal Numbering System) Number is used by industries and organizations around the world as a global standard for business identification and tracking. For additional information about D&B D-U-N-S Numbers, including how to obtain a D&B D-U-N-S Number, click here.

D&B Ratings Key
Quickly assesses a company's size and composite credit appraisal. For example, a company rated 3A3 has a worth of $1,000,000 - $9,999,999 based on an interim or fiscal balance sheet, and has a composite credit appraisal of 'Fair'. Click here for the D&B Ratings Key.

Date Printed
Indicates when you printed the report, not when the information was updated.

Employs
Total number of employees and if noted, at this location.

Financial Condition
Provides an overview of a company's financial statement using the designations "Strong," "Good," "Fair" and "Unbalanced." Financial Condition is calculated by reviewing up to 11 financial ratios and comparing them to industry averages for each of the company's lines of business. Your Business Information Report will reflect the most recent information available in the D&B files.

Financing
Designated as

* Secured - A portion or all of the following assets have been pledged as collateral; inventory and/or accounts receivable, capital stock in the company or capital stock the company owns in a subsidiary.
* Secured/Unsecured - In addition to any of the 'Secured' provisions, there are also unsecured loans outstanding which may be guaranteed or co-signed by a third party, but are not collateralized by specific assets.

This offers a quick picture of credit already extended to the company, and if assets are available to be pledged to you as a creditor. See the Public Filings, Banking and Finance sections for details.

History
Designated as

* Clear - indicates that certain minimal information necessary for D&B rating consideration is contained in the report. It also means the report is free of negative information which could cause the selection of other History captions or designation as a potential higher-risk case.
* Incomplete - indicates that D&B's file does not contain sufficient information about the background of the business and its significant principals to fully assess risk.
* Management - indicates D&B's file contains certain unfavorable current or historical information on one or more significant principals associated with this company.

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
SIC is a standardized numbering system developed by the Federal Government that classifies business establishments according to the industries they belong to. It is particularly helpful when you're looking to segment markets, analyze customer relationships, and conduct general business research.

SIC codes divide all major economic activity into ten major divisions. Businesses are then further classified within each division.

The first two digits in the code represent a company's major industry affiliation and its subdivision. For example, the first two digits in "Manufacturing," one of the ten major SIC divisions, range from 20 to 39. The remaining digits break down the divisions into specific activities and "sub-industries."

If more than one SIC Code is listed, the first one is the company's primary line of business, with others comprising at least 10 percent of the company's revenue. A maximum of six SIC's will be listed for a company. Details can be found in the Operations Section of the Business Information Report.

Started (Control Date)
Indicates the year the company started operations, or present management took control.

Sales
Provides a snapshot of a company's financial size in terms of sales/revenue volume. "Projected" indicates an estimated sales volume provided by management; "F" means figures were taken from an income statement. See the Finance Section for details.

Worth
The net worth of the business. "E" indicates figures are estimates provided by the owners, partners or officers of the company; "F" means figures were taken from a financial statement. This element offers another view of the company's financial size. See the Finance Section for details.
