SPECIALTY CALCIUM PRODUCTS | • MAG-CAL Timminco’s specialty calcium business is built around its proprietary and specialized alloys, MAG-CAL and CAL-AL, and particulated calcium metal. MAG-CAL is a patented product developed by the Corporation and is used as a substitute for magnesium and calcium metals in the lead refining process. Because it has certain economic, technical, safety and environmental advantages over both magnesium and calcium metals used individually, MAG-CAL is used by a significant number of major lead producers to remove bismuth from lead. CAL-AL is used as a substitute for calcium metal and aluminum in the production of lead alloys and for the production of maintenance-free automotive batteries. In addition to MAG-CAL and CAL-AL, the Corporation has developed unique granulated and particulated calcium products for use in the metal reduction, lead and steel industries. In the steel industry, these products are used as a component in calcium-cored wire in the continuous casting of steel and in the lead industry they can be used for battery alloy production.
