Casenite powder? Cyanide or what's in it?

I have this case hardening stuff called cherry red kasenite, which is used to case harden steel. I have understood that it at least contained cyanide before, but now they say it doesn't. I'm interested what's in it, but I couldn't find, sorry for I'm not english to make searching more difficult. Does anyone have a clue what these contain today? Cyanates? Calcium cyanamide?
