Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

Claim (Index 41):
A method of lubricating the passage of a container along a conveyor comprising applying a lubricant composition consisting of:\n about 0.1 to about 10 wt.% of a silicone emulsion; water; and optional ingredients selected from the group consisting of an antimicrobial agent, colorant, foam inhibitors, foam generators, stress cracking inhibitors, viscosity modifiers, film forming materials, surfactants, antioxidants, antistatic agents, and mixtures thereof.
