Can I use this Petrol Gel "technical white grease" for lead screws?

I have a full case of these tubes from a closed restaurant that would basically last forever if it’s suitable for lead screws.

I looked up the MSDS on this product and it seems it’s a mineral oil based material. That said, it won’t hurt the printer but it’s not an ideal product as it is far more likely to attract dust or metal wearing from the bearings. PTFE based lubricants or even silicone grease would be a better choice. That said, I suppose you could use it if you clean it off regularly, it’s just not really the best solution.
