The article claims it's 2.5x as dense as water, which according to this density chart is probably bromine.
I actually bet it's just very very fine stonedust and water in suspension.
I'm not sure which would be worse for the machinery
Supposedly it's exactly that, but stabilized by a polymer to keep it in suspension for up to 60 days without mixing. https://online.flippingbook.com/view/1025707592/10/#zoom=true
Edit: I've concluded it's likely calcium carbonate.
