Oh yes:  Glyptal:

"When Thomas Edison founded General Electric, he insisted the company have 
the highest capability in fundamental material research. For over sixty 
years, Glyptal served as the liquids research division of G.E. The company 
would look to Glyptal to formulate and manufacture its specialty needs when 
no existing product satisfied the requirements. We always got the tough ones.

Since Glyptal was spun off in 1985, our technology and manufacturing 
capability has become widely available outside G.E.

The following provides a flavor of the range of our capabilities. However, 
the best way for you to judge is to give us a call. We're here to help you 
with your tough ones.

Sincerely,  William P. Hoag, President "

(Of Glyptal, Incorporated.)

I followed their distributors link and found that the GE Supply Company 
will sell you a quart for about $20 or a gallon for about $70 ($30 
minimum).  I could not find it at Mouser or Grainger.
