Ukuze kukhiqizwe-izinto zokuqina ze-silicone ezinegwebu eliphezulu ezinokuqina ko-Shore A okungama-70 kuye kwangama-80, ukungeza izigcwalisi akwanele; okuqukethwe kwe-vinyl kumele kwandiswe. Ngokuvamile, njengoba inani lamafutha e-vinyl abicah likhula, ubulukhuni benhlanganisela yenjoloba nabo bukhuphuka ngokufanele. Amaphuzu okuxhumanisa werabha ye-silicone engaboshiwe ayahlakazeka futhi asatshalaliswe ngokulinganayo. Ngenxa yomphumela we-zipper, ukumelana kwayo kwezinyembezi kubi kakhulu. Uma umkhiqizo owenziwe i-vulcanized udatshuliwe, uzoqhekeka yonke indlela. Ngemva kokwengezwa kweI-ejenti yokwelaphakwenzeka ukuxhumanisa okugxilile okugxilile-okungalingani, okuhlakaza ingcindezi futhi kuthuthukise kakhulu amandla okudabula emikhiqizo ye-silicone.
I-Hydrogen-equkethe uwoyela we-silicone ingasetshenziswa njenge-agent ehlanganisayo ukuze kwengezwe{1}irabha ye-silicone ephulukisiwe{2}}yezinga lokushisa eliphakeme. Ukwengeza, i-hydrogen{4}}equkethe ama-molecule e-silicone kawoyela aqukethe umoya-mpilo osebenzayo ongasebenza njenge-ejenti yokunciphisa, engavimbela ngempumelelo ukungcola okusakhiweni senjoloba ekubeni ku-oxidizing futhi kube phuzi. Ngakho-ke, ibizwa ngokuthi -i-ejenti ephuzi.
