Fatty Acids, C18-unsatd, dimers. C18 would be oleic or possibly
linoleic acid. I would guess linoleic acid which is a quick drying
oil. It reacts with oxygen in the air to form a protective coating.

Petrolatum is another name for petroleum jelly or something similar.
No clue what it's doing in the mix.

I have a guess(tm) as to why the petroleum jelly. It evaporates, but
much slower than linoleic acid, which turns to goo as soon as it hits
the air. That might clog the nozzle of the pump type spray bottle.
Mixing with petroleum jelly should slow down the reaction so that it
turns to goo after it's sprayed on the parts that needs lubrication or
rust protection.
