Not your usual "water glass" type stop leak product. Maybe the solvent properties are intended to clean dissolvable build-up, (assuming some sort of dissolvable build-up was preventing sealing and causing leakage)?

Those are seal softening compounds designed to soften up seals that have hardened over time.
