The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a lubricant composition comprising a water-miscible silicone material having a silicone emulsion wherein the silicone emulsion contains less than 500 ppm of a triethanolamine salts of alkyl benzene sulfonic acid compounds.

Lubricant for conveying containers

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.

Aqueous compositions useful in filling and conveying of beverage bottles wherein the compositions comprise hardness ions and have improved compatibility with PET

A method for lubricating the passage of a conveyor comprising applying an undiluted lubricant composition through non-energized nozzles to at least a portion of the conveyor, the lubricant composition comprising a silicone emulsion and a water-miscible lubricant, the lubricant composition having a viscosity of less than 40 centipoise when measured using a Brookfield viscometer with an RV2 spindle at a spindle speed of 20 RPM and the lubricant composition being substantially free of a triethanolamine salt of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid.
