many years ago I got a tube of something that
claimed to be 'Electrolube
Special Plastic Greast' (Electrolube being a
well-known brand of cleaning
solvents, etc over here). It seems to be safe on all
plastics I've tried
it on so far, and it should have suitable
lubriacting properties for this
sort of thing (it's not exactly a high-speed
mechanism!).
Where you get it from is another matter, but surely
plastic-safe greases
still exist.
