Glad I asked, one has been in use since 1928, a google search came up with this patent info, clicked further for an index of 100,000 odd number of chemicals in use in industry, not necessarily in this product but in the alphabetical list - antler dirt was described.

I am wondering if it is the secret manure ingredient

I get the idea that this is a list pertaining to my preferred radiator sealer stuff

Chemicals used in industry, science and photography, as well as in agriculture, horticulture and forestry; unprocessed artificial resins; unprocessed plastics; manures; fire extinguishing compositions; tempering and soldering preparations; chemical substances for preserving foodstuffs; tanning substances; adhesives used in industry.

There's probably a dehydrated or powdered egg in there somewhere too

I have seen some advertised as tiny particles of copper and a heat reactive glue, others are a silica glass compound.

I would not use them unless I was really stuck or didnt care about the longevity of the engine or radiator.

Cargoseal seal up is heat reactive glue and copper... iv fixed some big leaks with it and itss never let me down... chemiweld on the other hand i dunno all i know is its nasty shit

There is always directins to be followed, and in defence of chemiweld critiscisms is I have seen a few people shove it in and drive. It has step by step instructions which takes time and we humans like shortcuts.Seen some amazing repairs by chemiweld. I like Silver Seal where you start with cold engine, add about two desert spoons of formula to radiator of engine now running and as instructions say "watch the drip slow to stop" Great affordable $6 stuff for the glovebox as long as drink bottle does not leak into the cardboard tube container

Chemiwelds problem is it works too well

Chemiweld has worked like a charm twice for me in unusual circumstances if the directions are followed to the letter.
Also have to mention good old Pepper that works well on radiators that spring a leak in the middle of nowhere.

chemiweld fixed my patrols very minor HG leak.

loved the stuff

My thoughts exactly!

began to think that if one was out in the middle of nowhere, maybe look for some antler dirt to add to the radiator once it had cooled , or some manure p'raps?
