My guess is that is "magnesium chloride with corrosion inhibitors"
referenced in this story:

I agree that it is very slick for bikes. I had trouble getting traction
going UP Germantown Road in several spots today. In my opinion it is way
over used.

What's with the smelly sprayed-on lines of "anti-freeze" on some of
Portland's roads? Today, cycling on Skyline, I got kind of nauseous
breathing deeply mile after mile this cross between vinegar and gasoline
smell. I'm also wondering how good it really is for tires gripping on the
road, as last year on a steep descent out by Bull Run, the road was wet and
also looked to have an overdose of this stuff; it was really slippery, and
we're not talking ice. I wonder what the manufacturers cautionary statement
reads like..."use in well-ventilated area, don't spray on plants?"
