I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but it most certainly does not
get absorbed by the rubber to the point the rubber degrades. That is a
characteristic of petroleum-based anti-seizes.

If Sil-Glyde caused rubber degradation, I think I would have seen that in
20 years of (twice-yearly) use.

I'm sure that's fine too, but there's not a thing wrong with Sil-Glyde.

Sil-Glyde is especially good for wet, salty environments like mine. Since
the stuff is so thick, it is less prone to washing away.
