— — Group overview
The origins of the Group were in business consultancy, which led to business management and then trading. These remain as the three core activities of the Group - on an international basis.Â
Moreover they have been integrated towards an unique approach for trading. Thus the chemical products listed in the "International Trade" section are mostly derived from sources where "Business Management" and "Consultancy & Advisory" services are also provided within the Group. Â
For example supplies of a special chemical may come from production where ......Â
 raw materials for production are procured,Â
 production equipment is purchased,Â
 quality controls are developed,Â
 packing and packaging are designed,Â
 logistics and shipping are organised,Â
 promotional material is designed,Â
 brands and logos owned,Â
 business is financed,Â
 customer service and support is provided,Â
 sales orders processed
 billing and collections managed ...Â
 through operations in several countries , and ..Â
.......all through the activities of companies within and supported by the Valetime Group.
— — The Team
Quick Introduction
Valetime is based on individual specialist experience - particularly of finance and more importantly of large international company operations. For example, the partners, directors and consultants within Valetime include experience from senior appointments with professional advisors Price Waterhouse, Coopers & Lybrand, UBS Warburg and Bains Consulting and multi-nationals such as Xerox, Glaxo Smith Kline, ITT, STC and the Granada Group.
Valetime has expanded to include directors and associates from outside its traditional UK base. For example, directors based in key areas of interest in Eastern Europe and Asia contribute particular industry experience and a wealth of knowledge on local business custom and practice.
— — — What We Like
Overtime this page will be built up with interesting and occasionally random bits of information.
Football
The team at Valetime Group are fluent in football - we find football to be a common topic of conversation all over the world. It doesn't not matter if you do not share the same language, you can always talk about football! Unless you are in America, in which cause we'd be talking soccer!
Valetime's UK operations are based in the North West of England. The North West is a hot spot of English football. There are 7 Premiership football clubs in the North West, namely Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Wigan Athletic (2008). There are also many other well known teams in the North West playing in lower division leagues. Some of these clubs may not be as famous today as their Premier League neighbours, but some once were. Accrington Stanley, Burnley and Preston North End may not have International status but, they are all founding members of the English Football League in 1888, as are with Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers.
So, who do we support?
With an Internationally renown "galatico" team on our doorstep, it would be hard for some of the Valetime team not to support Manchester United. Based at Old Trafford in Manchester, Manchester United is arguably the most popular football club in the world, with over 330 million supporters worldwide! The club is the second most successful in the history of English football and by far the most successful of recent times, having won 20 major honours since the start of Alex Ferguson's reign as manager in November 1986.
However, we are not all Manchester United fans. Some of the Valetime team support Bolton Wanderers - another local Premiership football team. Founder members of the Football League, Bolton were a successful cup side in the 1920s, winning the FA Cup three times. The club won the cup a fourth time in 1958 thanks to two Nat Lofthouse goals. A leaner spell followed, reaching a nadir in 1987 when the club spent a season in the Fourth Division. The club regained top-flight status in 1995 after a 15 year absence; their current spell in the top division started in 2001. In 2005–06 they participated in European competition for the first time, reaching the last 32 of the UEFA Cup. Bolton qualified for the 2007–08 tournament by finishing 7th in the 2006–07 Premier League season and this time they managed to reach the last 16 of the competition. Bolton Wanderers moved to the Reebok Stadium in 1997. Their former home was Burnden Park.

— — — Adipic Acid
Introduction & Uses
Adipic Acid Specification Sheet
ADIPIC ACID (hexanedioic acid; 1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid) is ranked 46th highest volume chemical in World use; and has a a wide range of commercial applications.
The biggest use of Adipic Acid (over 80% of production) is in the manufacture of Nylon and similar man made fibres / filaments.
Other Major Volume uses include:
- Manufacture of Polyurethane foams and elastomers - usually tailor-made for specific industry applications, for example:
- automotive industry applications - car interior components such as dashboards, steering wheels, door handles and upholstery - exterior components such as bumpers, wheel arches etc.;
- furniture industry - foam seating / cushions / pads, upholstery etc.;
- textile industry - fabric coatings, foam quiltings etc.;
- footwear industry - outer and inner soles, leather look fabrics etc.; and
- building industry - insulation products etc.
- Preparation of Esters for use as plasticisers and lubricants - identified by names ending in “adipate†( = a salt of adipic acid ) and used as chemical intermediates across a very wide range of industries. for example :
- most common : di-octyl adipate (DOA), di- methyl adipate ( DMA ) - used in processing other polymers, solvents, special lubricants, aircraft lubricants, cosmetics, rubber industry etc.
- others : di-(n-octyl-n-decyl) adipate (DNODA) - low temperature plasticiser, di-isodecyl adipate ( DIDA ) etc,
- Manufacture of water treatment products - eg: flocculants, chlorine purification, domestic cleansers
- Other uses : Adhesives, Food and Pharmaceutical additive ( acidulant ) Baking powders.

"SEV-DON"
The plant at SEVERODONETSK ( "Sev-Don"*) is the largest chemical enterprise in the Ukraine and consists of 4 production groups:
- ammonia liquid, methanol,formalin and urothropin, argon;mineral fertilizers(urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium carbonate salts), nitric acid, potassium and sodium nitrate,
- catalysts for production of ammonia, methanol, acetic acid, adipic acid;
- organic synthesis salts (cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, adipic acid, nylon 6,6 salts);
- acetylene, VAM, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinil acetate dispersion, formalin-carbamid, resin, acetic acid, butyl acetate.
*("Sev-Don" is a trade mark of Valetime Group )
ADIPIC ACID
Facilities for Adipic Acid use production methods,technology and key equipment from the German company BASF.
Production at "Sev-Don" is based upon contract processing operations with the major supplier of raw material (Benzene) being a Valetime associate.
"Sev-Don" is now the largest independent producer - given that Adipic Acid is principally produced and used by the major international filament (nylon) manufacturers.
Exports to Europe were developed from early in 1997 to meet shortages at the major Western European producers of Adipic Acid. Since that date quality has been enhanced and packaging improved and an international market is now serviced.
Against this background it should be noted that currently Sev-Don is still supplying Adipic Acid to major Western Producers. Such supplies are not merely for “internal use†to release own production. In some cases the final branded packaging is undertaken at Sev-Don.
The Ukraine has a large and well established chemical industry and production of Adipic Acid is undertaken at 2 locations - ROVNO and SEVERODONETSK. The Adipic Acid available through Valetime is only from SEVERODONETSK.
Other Valetime products available from "Sev-Don":
- Acetic Acid
- Adipic Acid
- A G S Acids ( Low DiCarbon Acids )
- Cyclohexanone
Specification
Adipic Acid Specification Sheet
Traditionally Ukrainian production of Adipic Acid has been to Russian (GOST) standard No. 10558-80. This sets out the minimum standard for production.
However, it is recognised that for many end users the colour and related characteristics (chromacitry, iron content etc.) are of vital importance. In fact data taken from recent production at Sev-Don shows in actual results that the product is typically better than the Russian specification assigned to it. Accordingly product sold by Valetime is to an "improved" specification.
Adipic Acid from Valetime is available not from store but directly from production at Sev-Don.

Quality
Quality control of the product utilises Rhodia systems and each batch is subject to testing and certification of analysis ( C of A.) To confirm their confidence in these arrangements Sev-Don will agree to any further independent tests or controls required and provided by end-users.
Furthermore Valetime's Kiev office has direct contacts at the producer and has sight of every C of A before loading is authorised. Accordingly if required the “purchasing specification†of customers can be used to check each batch. Customers can also be sent a copy of the C of A at this stage - that is some time before actual delivery of their order.

— — — Carbon Black
Introduction
Carbon black is an engineered compound made - in the case of product from VALETIME - from a coal-based feedstock derived from coke making and known as anthracene oil.
Anthracene oil is heated in a specially designed furnace, to produce a gas stream laden with carbon black powder. The gas stream passes through a series of filters, where the carbon black is separated from the gases. The carbon black powder then is bound with water to create larger beads or granules, which are passed through a dryer and packaged for delivery to customers in every part of the world.
Carbon Black is an essential ingredient in tyres and other mechanical rubber products, improving their strength, durability and overall performance. It also is used as a pigment in printing inks, paints and plastics.
Main Markets for Carbon Black produced for VALETIME are:
- Tyre Industry – supplier to major World producers of vehicle tyres
- Rubber Industrial Products - includes manufacturers of beltings, footwear soles, electrical cables, coatings etc.
- Polygraphic Products - particularly in newspaper inks and other special printing inks.
- Plastics - used as a base pigment in master batches.

Summary of K-Series Specification - further details in full specfication sheet
A distinct feature of Carbon Black from Kremenchug is the final form of product - being “granules” ( = microcrystaline ) as a result of further processing of the fine powders ( “dust” or typical "soot" ) output from production. ( Note product is not “encapsulated” but formed into large granules or pellets by mechanical process. ) This provides for much cleaner and relatively dust-free handling in use.
FOOD CONTACT APPROVAL
In May 2005, Carbon Black grades N220 and grades N330 successfully passed tests for heavy metal content, carried out by RAPRA, in accordance with EU Resolution AP (89) 1. They are therefore suitable for use in masterbatch intended for use in contact with foodstuffs - specifically in accordance with European Resolution AP (89) 1 on the use of colourants in plastic materials coming into contact with food.
Copies of Food Contact and Heavy Metal Content certificates are below, along with a copy of the RAPRA report.

— — — Ammonium Sulphate
Introduction
Ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4, is an inorganic chemical compound commonly used as a fertiliser. It is used largely as an artificial fertiliser for alkaline soils. In the soil the sulphate ion is released and forms bisulphate, lowering the pH balance of the soil and contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth.
Ammonium sulphate is also used as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. It is particularly effective as an adjuvant for 2,4-D (amine), glyphosate, and glufosinate herbicides.
Ammonium sulphate is also used in the preparation of other ammonium salts. In biochemistry, ammonium sulphate precipitation is a common method for purifying proteins by precipitation. As such, ammonium sulphate is also listed as an ingredient for many United States vaccines per the Center for Disease Control.
Ammonium sulphate is also a food additive.

Useful Information
Harmonised System Code (HS Code) : 2907 - Phenols, Phenol-alcohols
— — — Cresol
Introduction
Cresols are organic compounds which are methylphenols. Depending on the temperature, cresols can be solid or liquid because they have melting points not far from room temperature. Like other types of phenols, they are slowly oxidized by long exposure to air and the impurities often give cresols a yellowish to brownish red tint.
Cresols have an odor characteristic to that of other simple phenols, reminiscent to some of a "medicine" smell.
Cresols are used to dissolve other chemicals, as disinfectants and deodorizers, and to make specific chemicals that kill insect pests.
Cresol solutions are used as household cleaners and disinfectants. Cresol solutions can also be found in photographic developers. In the past, cresol solutions have been used as antiseptics in surgery, but they have been largely displaced in this role by less toxic compounds.
Cresols are found in many foods and in wood and tobacco smoke, crude oil, coal tar, and in brown mixtures such as creosote, cresolene and cresylic acids, which are wood preservatives.

Specification for Technical Cresol
Safety Information
Overview
Cresol, a highly caustic, colorless solid or liquid with a sweet tarry odor, is used mainly as a disinfectant. Cresol is very corrosive to all tissues. When it comes in contact with the skin it may not produce any burning sensation immediately. Prickling and intense burning will occur followed by loss of feeling. If cresol contacts the eyes it may cause extensive damage. Cresol vapors and liquids are absorbed through inhalation and eye and skin contact. Repeated or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of cresol can produce chronic systemic poisoning. Symptoms of poisoning include vomiting, difficulty in swallowing, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, fainting, dizziness, mental disturbance and skin rash. Cresol attacks the central nervous system, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, skin and eyes.

Introduction
TITANIUM DIOXIDE - PIGMENTAL - RUTILE GRADE
TITANIUM DIOXIDE ( TiO2 ) is derived from treating the naturally occurring ore Ilmenite (containing Titanium metal) with Sulphuric Acid and the resulting sulphate is further treated to produce an oxide.
A PIGMENT is any substance, though usually in the form of dry powder, that imparts colour to another substance.
TiO2 is available in 2 crystal forms - anatase and rutile.
RUTILE-TiO2 Is the preferred crystalline structure (when compared to anatase.) Because of its higher refractive index it provides about 30% higher light-scattering efficiency than anatase. Rutile is also superior to anatase TiO2 in weather-resistance properties. Consequently it is used more often in plastics applications.
Few, if any, commercial grades of titanium dioxide are pure TiO2. Most have inorganic and, in some cases, organic treatments deposited on the surfaces of the TiO2 particles by precipitation, mechanical blending or other methods. These surface treatments provide improvements in one or more performance properties of the pigment.
Uses
Why use TITANIUM DIOXIDE?
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is best known as the leading white pigment. This is because it is a photo-responsive material. In addition to its light-scattering abilities, TiO2 absorbs UV light energy.
As a white pigment, TiO2 is widely used for its efficiency in scattering visible light, and imparting whiteness, brightness, and opacity when incorporated into a plastic product.
However, the ability of titanium dioxide to absorb UV light energy ( from the Sun ) can also provide significant improvement in the weatherability ( = able to meet the effects of wind, rain and temperature change ) and durability ( = long lasting ) of polymer products.
TiO2 is available in 2 crystal forms - anatase and rutile.
RUTILE-TiO2 Is the preferred crystalline structure (when compared to anatase.) Because of its higher refractive index it provides about 30% higher light-scattering efficiency than anatase. Rutile is also superior to anatase TiO2 in weather-resistance properties. Consequently it is used more often in plastics applications.
VALETIME Limited experience of TiO2 indicates use :
- in PAINTS - principally in emulsions, undercoats and primers for both wood amd metal,
- in THERMOPLASTICS - usually road markings ( white lines ) This accounts for big demand in Summer.
- in MASTER BATCH PLASTICS. Most plastics are made from raw materials in solid form - like pellets, beads or granules of plastic ( ABS, uPVC etc. ) This is known as a “master batch” which has a colour pigment already added – usually either black or white.
- in uPVC MOULDINGS - like in master batch - most often as a Diluent. The biggest user application is for uPVC window and door frame mouldings.
- in SEALANTS - the soft compound used as a filler or sealant in many applications.

New Specifications are available for grades R-202 and R-203.
TiO2 Grade R-202 Specification
TiO2 Grade R-203 Specification
TiO2 produced for VALETIME is from Ukrainian production to Russian (GOST) standard No. 9808-84. This sets out the minimum standard for production.
The assay of TiO2 in the Rutile form is the critical factor in terms of a chemical analysis.
However in practice the uses made of TiO2 are more determined by physical properties rather than by chemical composition. In particular the whiteness of the pigment and the dispersion qualities of the crystals are most important.
Whiteness
This is a difficult property to measure and there are many tests and standards. General references to Opacity concerns the scattering of all wave-lengths of incident light. Specific reference to Tint or Tinting strength refers to the ability of a white pigment to efficiently scatter light and provide whiteness and brightness to a coloured plastic / polymer system.
TiO2 from VALETIME is produced in the Ukraine to GOST Standards ( see specifications ) which refer to "Whitening power" and "Whiteness" etc. which are references to TINT strengths based on readings from special test equipment.
Relative tinting strength is measured by dispersing a sample of TiO2 into a black master-batch at a prescribed ratio. The resulting polymer is then formed into sheets or chips. The polymer that is the lightest grey in colour and has the highest reflectance is the TiO2 sample with the greatest light-scattering efficiency.
A number of different types of instrument can be used to measure this. It is understood that the producer of TiO2 for VALETIME uses a) device RADUGA or b) SPECTROTON ( which give very similar results.) Therefore with regard to published specifications and analysis, the results quoted with brackets ( 1700) and ( 95) are based on RADUGA, and those without brackets 1600 and 92 are based on SPECTROTON.
In addition specifications include to remainder on sieve, particle size and hiding power which can be taken to refer to :
Undertone - the appearance of transmitted light. TiO2 grades with small particles are more yellow; grades with larger particles are bluer.
Colour - sometimes confused with undertone. TiO2 with a blue undertone may exhibit a yellow colour, which might be caused by contamination or adverse chemical reactions. TiO2 grades with different particle sizes can have the same colour. Most commercial TiO2 grades do not vary significantly in dry colour.
Dispersion
Specifications also refer to dispersive ability. This acknowledges that the value of titanium dioxide is best realised when it is well dispersed.
End-users testing
In the end the ONLY sure way is to TEST in laboratory and TRY IN PRODUCTION.
It is important to recognise that the TiO2 from the Ukraine is of LOWER WHITE STRENGTH ( NOT LOWER QUALITY ) than many competitor products. The lower white strength comes from the methods of production - which does not use a chlorine method ( this gives Blue / White result ) but rather a sulphuric method ( giving a Yellow result - hence not as white.)
"Lower white strength” means lower “whiteness” - even though all other aspects of production ( for example consistency, quality control, availability, packaging etc. are very high quality ) Lower in whiteness - but otherwise is good quality.
Valetime Limited experiences of TiO2 are based on sales to a range of companies – all with very demanding quality requirements. In all cases “quality” is considered before “price.” Typically TiO2 is considered for use in 2 categories:
- as PRIMARY Raw Material - where ONLY TiO2 from VALETIME is used
- use as a DILUENT - where TiO2 is used with more expensive grades to dilute the costs ( = reduce to a lower average of price)
Some customers use TiO2 as Primary raw material - others use as a Diluent - some customers use as both.

— — — Cresylic Acid
Introduction
Cresols - General Applications
Creols are processed from the by-product from coal gasification. There are three structural isomers that form the three main cresol groups ortho-, meta- and para-cresol.
The mixture of cresols obtained from coal tar is called cresylic acid, an important technical product used as a disinfectant and in the manufacture of resins and tricresyl phosphate.
Cresylic acid also refers to the mixture of phenols containing varying amounts of xylenols, cresols, and other high-boiling fractions, but not more than 5 percent phenol.
Commercial cresols are prepared in a wide range of grades and purities. It is a liquid from clear to brown and is toxic to animals including human. It is corrosive and is a more powerful disinfectant and antiseptic than phenol.
The primary use for cresylic acid is for sterilizing as disinfectants and deodorizers, and pesticides. Its solution is used as household cleaners as a disinfectant.
Cresols are used as solvents or disinfectants and as useful as raw materials for various chemical products including: Antiseptics, disinfectants; Fragrances, deodorizing, odor-enhancer; Resins (phenol-formaldehyde, phenolic, and epoxy) and their additives; Phosphate esters (plasticizers); Herbicides and pharmaceuticals; Rubber and plastic antioxidants; Dyes and pigments; Household cleaners and automotive degreasers; Solvent and paints; Lubricating oils, gasoline additives; Adhesives; Fiber and wood preservatives; UV- absorbers and photographic chemicals; and Ore flotation agents.

— — — Magnesium Hydroxide
Introduction & Uses
Magnesium Hydroxide is also known as Brucite Marble or Mag-H.
Other synonyms are Brucite; Magnesia magma; Magnesium hydrate; Milk of magnesia.
Magnesium Hydroxide traditionally has 4 primary uses:
- waste water treatment;
- flame retardant in the plastics industry;
- insecticide; and
- dairy farm footbath replacing copper sulfate and lime.
However, Magnesium Hydroxide is increasingly used in specialist processes in a number of other industries, including vulcanisation in the rubber industry and also as an active compound in shrink-compensating concrete specifically used in dam construction.
Waste Water Treatment
Magnesium Hydroxide is used for the treatment of the "slurry" produced in the extraction of minerals. After the mineral ore is extracted, the remaining liquid is a "slurry" that often contains harmful chemicals. In order to discharge waste, it is first required to be made safe. Ecological and environmental issues require the adjustment and treatment of slurry. If untreated, it can harm drinking water supplies and damage the environment.
Magnesium Hydroxide is commonly used in the mining industry to adjust pH levels in "slurry" waste water. Magnesium Hydroxide is an environmentally friendly water treatment product for neutralising acids, precipitating heavy metasl and sulfur dioxide stack scrubbing. The application of Magnesium Hydroxide is particularly useful in the Copper Mining Industry.
Magnesium hydroxide is also used to control levels of amonia and hydrogen phosporous. Magnesium hydroxide replaces toxic polymers and ferric chlorite used for dewatering and controlling odor in sewage treatment. Magnesium Hydroxide can be used in the treatment of drinking water to help remove metals from waste streams.
Magnesium Hydroxide used in water treatment has similar effects to Calcium Carbonate and can be used as a less expensive substitute for Magnesium Oxide.
Uses in the Plastics Industry - Flame Retardant
Magnesium Hydroxide can be used in the plastics industry as a flame retardant filler. Magnesium Hydroxide is fast becoming a preferred alternative to Alumnium Trihydrate (ATH, Alumina Trihydrate).
The grade of Magnesium Hydroxide available to Valetime Group is suitable for use as a flame retardent.
Uses in the Rubber Industry
Magnesium Hydroxide has applications as a new and versatile rubber chemical. Magnesium Hydroxide has been recommended as the inorganic base for the thiadiazole cure system in CPE (Chlorinated Polythene). Magnesium Hydroxide has commerical use as a vulcanising agent and can be used as a replacement to the traditionally-used magnesium oxide.
Uses in the Paper Industry
Magnesium Hydroxide in suspension has many applications in the bleaching of pulp. It can be used as a replacement to caustic soda and magnesium sulfate in pulp bleaching.
Insecticide, Organic Pesticide
Effective against bed bugs, roaches, ants and termites. When insects come in contact with the product, brucite's micro abrasives cause scratches. Insects then dehydrate. The mechanical nature of this effect means insects cannot build resistance.
Summary of uses
Absorbent, buffer in cosmetics; intermediate for obtaining magnesium metal; sugar refining; residual fuel oil additive; drying agent, alkali, nutrient supplement, color retention agent, pH control agent, processing aid in foods; sulfite pulp; uranium processing; dentifrices; flame retardant filler in plastics/rubber; extender pigment for flame retardant coatings; fluoride removal in water treatment; wastewater acid neutralization, desilication, heavy metals removal; alkali in dentifrices; emollient in skin creams; medicine (antacid, laxative); milk of magnesia

Magnesium Hydroxide - Brucite
Brucite is a magnesium hydroxide Mg[(OH).sub.2]. It has a higher magnesium content than any other raw material, commonly used or considered as ore. Brucite forms soft, waxy to glassy, white, pale-green, grey or blue crystals, plate aggregates, rosettes, fibrous masses and fracture fillings. It is relatively soft (2.5 on the Mohs scale) and has a low density (2.38-2.40 g/[cm.sup.3]). It is soluble in hydrochloric acid but has no effervescence. Weathering transforms waxy, fresh brucite into a chalk-like material.
Brucite is widely distributed in ultramafic rocks. It is also found in a variety of exotic settings such as kimberlites and carbonatites. Most of the economic brucite deposits appear to be hosted by marbles affected by high-temperature, low-pressure metamorphism. The fibrous variety of brucite, nemalite, is common in ultramafic rocks, where it coexists with chrysotile. The unfortunate association of brucite with asbestos in ultramafic settings, is the main reason why carbonate-hosted brucite deposits are the recommended and preferred exploration targets. A number of recent studies indicate that pure brucite is virtually harmless.
Examples of carbonate-hosted brucite deposits of economic significance are Cross Quarry near Wakefield, Quebec, Canada; Kuldur, eastern Russia; Granasen, Norway; Gabbs magnesite--brucite deposit, Nye County, Nevada, USA and Marble Canyon, Culberson County, Texas, USA.
Other undeveloped or exhausted brucite deposits occur in China, Arizona, United Kingdom, Ireland, North Korea and Canada.

Introduction and Uses
Caprolactam - C6H11ON - is obtained from cyclohexanone oxime in a process termed "Beckmann rearrangement reaction."
Caprolactam is produced in two forms:
- solid: white hygroscopic substance, with a specific mild odour,
- liquid: colourless, clear liquid, free of mechanical impurities
Caprolactam is used for the production of polyamide polymer which in turn is processed into textile or technical yarns, or into engineering plastics for various technical and industrial applications.
Such applications utilise the characteristic special properties of Caprolactam, these are:
- Mechanical strength and lightness;
- Good anti-friction dielectric properties ( non-conductivity of electricity ); and
- Ability to suppress vibration.

— — NPK
Introduction
NPK 15:15:15
NPK represents the key constituent chemical elements Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) used in plant fertilisers.
The percentages are shown as numbers, e.g. 10-8-12, where the first number is N, the second P and the third K.
The 3 elements promote plant growth in 3 different ways. In simple terms, these are:
N - Nitrogen: promotes the growth of leaves and vegetation
P - Phosphorous: promotes root growth
K - Potassium: promotes flower and fruit growth
When choosing plant fertilisers, the NPK values help you to identify the best fertiliser for the job in hand. For example, lawn fertiliisers are typically higher in Nitrogen to promote leafy growth of the grass.
A balanced fertiliser is when the 3 chemical nutrients NPK are included in equal measures and reflected so in the ratio e.g. 5:5:5. A balanced fertiliser is good for all round, general use.
NPK available to Valetime is a balanced fertiliser with the 3 chemical nutrients balanced in the ratio 15:15:15.

— — Urea
Introduction
Urea is used for melamin, cyanuric acid, urea-formaldehyde resin, medicinals production; as one of the components for cosmetics compounds; in agriculture as the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizer (contains 46,2% of nitrogen), for various agricultural crops growing in any soils; and as a feed additive for ruminant animals.
Urea is an organic compound in the urine, blood, and lymph of people and other mammals. Until 1828, chemists thought that only certain life processes could produce organic compounds such as urea. But then, the German chemist Friedrich Wohler synthesised (made artificially) urea from a cyanate and an ammonium salt. His discovery is usually considered the birth of synthetic organic chemistry.
Industry prepares urea commercially from liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide. Under high pressure, these chemicals form ammonium carbamate. This decomposes to give urea and water.
Specification
Urea is produced to GOST 2081-92 in three grades:
- Grade Standard B - Higher Grade;
- Grade Standard B - First Grade; and
- Grade Standard B - Second Grade.

Business Management
Introduction
Valetime Group's business management division provides operational management and support to internationally based facilities & associated foreign enterprises through UK based companies.
Such support includes the procurement of key raw materials and equipment, marketing, strategic planning, accounting, finance and legal services. Supported companies inevitably employ a Western style to their operations and gain advantage through adopting the propriety, accountability and respectability offered by operations from a long established and visibly regulated jurisdiction in Europe.
The origins of the Valetime Group in the late 1980's were based on an interest in the emerging countries of Eastern Europe. More than a decade later the international operations - particularly financial matters - of many clients came under intense scrutiny. In additional there were seen to be many advantages for the future in a rapidly changing business World of adopting the propriety, accountability and respectability offered by operations from a long established and visibly regulated jurisdiction in Europe.
Against this background many of the products featuring in International Trade emanate from companies supported through Business Management within the Valetime Group. Such companies are UK registered, are subject to similar audit and other compliance measures, banking controls, tax and legal requirements as are applied to any other UK company.
Perhaps even more noticeably these supported companies inevitably employ a Western - and indeed Anglo-Saxon - style to their operations. Many believe that they enjoy distinct commercial advantages from this attribute.
