The present disclosure relates to conveyor lubricant compositions including an emulsion. The present disclosure also relates to methods of employing such lubricant compositions. In an embodiment, the methods include applying the present lubricant composition to a conveyor with a non-energized nozzle. In an embodiment, the methods include applying the present lubricant composition in a 'semi-dry' mode.

Conveyor lubricants including emulsions and methods employing them

A method of detecting concentration of dipicolinic acid and terbium chloride in a chemical composition with a fluorometer, wherein the fluorometer comprises an excitation source for emitting electromagnetic radiation at one or more wavelengths, and a detector module for detecting fluorescence emitted by dipicolinic acid, emitting electromagnetic radiation from the excitation source at wavelengths that induce fluorescence in dipicolinic acid-terbium chloride combination present in the chemical composition, detecting the fluorescence emitted by the dipicolinic acid-terbium chloride combination via the detector module, and determining the concentration of dipicolinic acid using predetermined relationship between fluorescence emitted and the concentration of dipicolinic acid-terbium chloride combination.

Handheld fluorometer

A method of fluorometrically detecting the concentration of chemical components in oxidizing formulations is disclosed. In a particular embodiment the detection is of the stabilizing component of picolinic acid, present in such formulations, although any component which fluoresces may be detected. According to the invention sample preparation of the oxidizing formulation includes adding to said sample an excess of reducing agent to bind peracid, and in the case of picolinic acid, adding to said sample an excess of terbium chloride. The sample then is subjected to radiation to induce fluorescence and the concentration of said chemical component is determined by a linear relationship between fluorescence emitted and the concentration of the target chemical.

Fluorescence assay for quantification of picolinate and other compounds in oxidizers and oxidizing compositions

The passage of a container along a conveyor is facilitated by applying to the container or conveyor aqueous compositions containing hardness ions. The compatibility of the aqueous compositions with PET bottles is improved when the ratio of hardness as CaCOto alkalinity as CaCOis greater than about 1 to 1.
