Are we using polyurea?

Simple as that... For bearings, as antisieze, etc.?

I've used it in industrial applications. worked fine. Has a tendency to dry out when exposed to air instead of leaving an oily/greasy residue.

Lithium Complex Grease is most common grease used. I'm not sure if Polyurea mixes well with other types.

This is the bike forum, so keep that in mind...

Trying to determine if I should buy a tube of park tools 1000 lube.

I've seen that shear stable polyurea does, but not "standard" polyurea. That is a question for the grease forum...

Not sure what the park lube is.

The Park grease is good stuff. Phils makes some good grease too.

I bought some Phil Woods Grease and was very impressed. It was kind of expensive though. For general greasing i.e. headset, seatpost, pedal axle,wheel hub bearings, I like good old White Lithium. Cheap, works, and easy to find. It seems our bicycles don't really "need" extreme pressure(EP) high temp, expensive lubricants.
