I'm looking for chemical information, here. Composition, freezing point, etc.
It can't be just water because water expands too much when it's frozen.

It's a mixture of Propylene Glycol and water. It's similar to car antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol) but it's not toxic, so if it leaks, it won't poison you. It's so non-toxic, it's actually an ingredient in a lot of foods, used similarly as glycerine.
It's not pure propylene glycol, but mixed with water...this makes it less expensive as well as increases the ability to cool. Water transfers heat (or cool as the case may be) more effectively, so it cools your drink better than the glycol alone.

it' oil.
a light, low viscosity oil. it is very hard to freeze.
in a airtight container it will maintain a steady temp longer.
it will frost over however.
