Nope, but just by the name it sounds like an extemely expensive lubricant to resize casings.

I would avoid anything petroleum based for cases. Stick with something much cheaper and easier to get off of the brass; and most importantly designed for the job. If you're not familiar with hydraulic dents, you will be soon enough if you use the Z-Max, that's my thinkin on the matter. That and dirty media or cleaning compound, not sure what you use to clean your lube off with.
