Cadycal is produced by precipitating calcium borate from in-situ mine leach liquor. By employing strict chemical processing control technology, the product consistency is maintained within narrow limits.

Cadycal has been a popular ingredient in substitutions for Gerstley Borate.

The analysis shown here was provided by Fort Cady in May 2003.
