So for work, I am a critical power engineer (essentially, I work on datacenter UPSs and their associated battery strings), and when installing batteries and stuff, we use a "battery grease" to coat the terminals called No-Ox-Id to prevent corrosion and things of that nature. I currently have about 4 tubs of this "grease" about the size of a large container of pasta salad from your local grocer. I have thought a few times about using this for lube while I wait to get a good setup for powder coating (I'm itching to try some homemade cast loads), but figured I'd better check with the professionals before doing something that could potentially harm my firearm
Here is a link describing No-Ox-Id and what its intended purpose is:

Any and all input is appreciated!
