I'm familiar with it -- my bike shop stocks both it and Krytox (but
not the GPL-203 -- GPL-206 and -226, which are thicker, about the
same as the Phil Wood grease). The Wood & Co. is great grease, but
still organic (petroleum-based), so it will eventually harden. It's
also a bit thick for PTOs, IMO. Krytox GPL-203 is inorganic
(perfluoropolyether with PTFE) and shouldn't harden for
millennia. It also has significantly greater lubricity.
Best regards,
Charles
