Profile: Cape Aquatic Humate (Pty) Ltd. manufactures aquatic based humic substances, humates and related waste substances like fulvic acids. Our product line includes humic acids, cape aquatic humates, Kap wasserhumates, huminsaure, humate salts, organic fertilizers, humates, and humic substances. Our humates enable chelating in soil management and in commercial agriculture where farmers have the long term intention of achieving biological and soil or even organic agri-practices. 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 the effects of sorption, complexation, chelation, and flocculation, which dissolves loads of hydrophobic matters. They are found in peat, coal, many upland streams and ocean water. They are mainly employed in industry in the forms of additives. Their effects are to improve the product quality, to retrench raw material and to reduce the energy expenditure; for instance, they may be applied as a boiler water softening agents and as petroleum drilling fluid decreasing and filtering agents. 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 they also take care of harmful matters, preventing the water from contamination. Since their pH values are below 7, namely acidic, humic acids alleviate the world-challenging issue of soil salinization.
