Here's information on Triblack G.
According to its MSDS (attached as .doc, if that makes it through, and in text form below) it contains the following three components.  The first two are poisonous, but no big deal for folks used to handling metals.  The third is the bad actor.  I've attached a link to an MSDS for the last.
