Because:

Main Entry: di7elec7tric 
Pronunciation: "dI-&-'lek-trik
Function: noun
Etymology: dia- + electric
Date: 1837
: a nonconductor of direct electric current 

It's not necessarily any better than Vaseline, but it tends to be a little
more viscous, and probably doesn't run as much when it gets hot.
