The site is a bit misleading.

It should say "temporary lubricant requiring frequent
re-application".

Of course being dependent on a lubricant that requires
frequent re-application is good for their business!

Frequent re-application is hardly the goal for anything
on a tower, or for busy Hams, for anything in frequent
use that requires disassembly and reassembly for the
re-application such as an antenna tuner.
