I can't find anything on PTEF. I am familiar with Ptfe. This stuff reads like it would work great on drags and gears.
A all in one grease.

What are yalls thoughts?

Intriguing.  That the material they list on the label (Polyflourotetraethelene) is PTFE.  Other than that there is no real information that I can find beyond being a white mineral oil, the MSDS says the stuff is harmless as Chocks vitamins, and there are no NLGI references anywhere (so we don't know how well it lubricates, but I suspect maybe getting an NLGI certification involves submitting to labs and $$$$$$ and the avereage consumer won't care).  Wiser minds will dissect this, but thanks for putting it up there! - john

Seems like they are charging $1.03 extra for nothing
