Here's the Super Lube website:

I've been using this stuff for several years as a general-purpose slide lubricant on school horns and have never had a horn come back with a stuck slide. This is a heavy duty synthetic white grease and wouldn't be suitable if you want slides loose enough for slide-pulling. I think it's also available a some of the automotive parts chain stores. Temperature doesn't seen to have much affect on the viscosity.
Oh, how I wish we had that stuff on the school souzys I marched with!
