Monsanto makes a conductive lubricant that was used quite a bit by Bell Labs years ago. The material is called OS-124 and is a polyphenyl ether. It can be applied via aerosol or by immersion and does not require any curing. Last I used it it was distributed through a company called Aviation Fluids.
