I’d caution against the use of silicone spray for one reason. You never know what your getting when you buy a can off the shelf. Many of the consumer available products marketed as “Silicone Spray” contain petroleum solvents and propellants that quickly degrade rubber/elastomers and plastic/polymers.
100% silicone grease/oil(siloxanes) is safe for nitrile and butyl rubber. It’s the other components that may present a real problem.
Just sayin... I learned that the hard way, as in ‘rubber embrittlement‘.
