Actually, these specs are of a multipurpose grease I came across when searching for info on Slick Honey, which is a bike grease that is used on suspension fork stanchions. A little grease is applied to prevent stiction while not having a negative effect on seals and oil bath fork components.

The maker of Slick Honey makes also the above-mentioned product, which is called Slickoleum. I can't find a spec sheet for Slick Honey, but I suspect that it's a less viscous version of Slickoleum.
