Just plain old NaCl... harsh chemical compounds are unnecessary and not environmentally sound, so solar salt is a pretty homogenous product... some blends may be a mixture of salt and sand (the sand helps provide traction during the time the salt is working to remove the ice), but, other than that, you're not going to find chemicals added to it.

The salt lowers the freezing point of the water and the grit helps with grip.
