If you look at the safety sheet, it says what's in it:
"A blend of corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, metals deactivators in a
hydro refined napthenic oil"

So, I think the practical answer to your question is no.

When I were a lad, we had a grandmother clock at home, nothing special
plain steel construction. A clock repairer advises us to keep a small
pot with a cotton wool pad in it moistened with a few drops of paraffin.
Despite an old cold damp 50s house, that clock never rusted or needed
lubrication.
Might be worth a try?

I think I took the OP rather too literally, ie could he get the same
product in liquid form? I agree there are alternatives, including wiping
everything down with an oily rag. (That's such a cliche.)

No, it is not possible to re-charge a ToolGuard VCI. They do however last a
very long time. You can tell if they have stopped working when the
distinctive odour is no longer present.
