That would be "silicone," which is viscous and slippery -- silicone
lubricants or rubberlike appliances or as used in fake boobies. What
your business has to do with grease and rubber I don't want to know.
Brittle, crystalline "silicon," which chips easily, is another thing
altogether and if used on rubber probably wouldn't do the rubber any good.
