Hi
 If it is what I think it is, it is some solvents and
a little silicone oil. They most likely get the silicone
oil from the same people that make the stuff for car wax.
I used the stuff for liquid cooling once on a project
in a past life. It has some interesting properties
if anyone cares. It didn't make a vary good coolant
but it also didn't damage anything it leaked on, unless
you consider my butt after slipping on the floor.
