1. A method for lubricating the passage of a container along a conveyor, comprising applying an aqueous, phase-stable lubricant composition to at least a portion of the container—contacting surface of the conveyor, the aqueous, phase-stable lubricant composition comprising from about 0.0005 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of a water-miscible silicone material; and from about 0.01 wt. % to about 0.50 wt. % of at least one wetting agent selected from the group consisting of fatty amine, alcohol ethoxylate, and mixtures thereof; wherein the lubricant composition directly contacts the container, the lubricant composition forms a substantially contiguous coating which covers greater than 30% of the surface when coated and dried onto polyethylene terephthalate film, the contact angle between the lubricant composition and container is less than about 60 degrees.
