Default re-installing a starter question

did a partial removal of my starter to get to the ipb.

Got a new seal(lip seal removed in photo) were the starter goes into the inner primary for the re-install just cause, but there is this white stuff little further back, cant seem to find any info on it in the Manuel or on the web.

is it teflon paste ?

whats the story?

Don't worry about it. I've seen that on starters as well and always assumed it was lithium grease or something. I've always simply installed the seals and o-ring and reinstalled.
