Borrowing someone else's research, the closest Western approximation they found is Dow Corning Xiameter PMX-200 Silicone Fluid which is very close in composition and viscosity. I use this exclusively as the best alternative, I would NEVER put any grease, mineral oil or mineral oil based or indeed, any other lubricant whether it be PTFE based or whatever, inside the air system IN ANY PLACE for ANY REASON! The exception being a good sticky anti-corrosion coating on the inside of the air bottles but none of this can enter the air system once 'set'. All my air jacks and uplock releases are manually lubricated with PMX annually. Thats what I do anyway. Cheers, J.
