    Liquid Pro as Ultra and other liquid metal based TIMs are mainly made of a gallium alloy. If I would have to guess I would say it's Galistan which can also be found inside modern thermometers. Although it will adhere to some surfaces like glass or even the nickel/copper from your cooler it wont do nothing to your dies sillicon, and will be really easy to remove from there.

    As I sad upper on the post it's not pure gallium if it was it would be pretty impossible to apply in most countries because it would have turned solid :P as I sad as well it is morelikely Galistan which has a -19ºC melting point


    EDIT:

    WARNING !! take my words with a grain of salt, don't go ahead and break your home thermometer, although I'm positive it would work
