Silicone -brake- lube?

My m/c rebuild info (GM service manual) talks about using silicone brake lube for the reservoir grommets. Is this sold commercially, or is it the same as dielectric grease? The local Pep Boys sells little packets of silicone brake lube, but if I could buy a tube, I'd rather do that.

It'd be the same stuff that's called for lubing calipers slides/bushings & mounting bolts. I always used dielectric on the fronts, but used the specialized packets when I rebuilt the rear.

Thanks guys!
