Silicone conveyor lubricant with stoichiometric amount of an acid

摘要

Disclosed is a method for lubricating the passage of a container along a conveyor, comprising providing a lubricant concentrate composition comprising i. from about 0.05 percent to about 20 percent of a water-miscible silicone material and ii. one or more acid compounds in an amount sufficient to provide at least one equivalent of available, unneutralized acid for every two equivalents of alkalinity in water used to dilute the lubricant Concentrate b. diluting the lubricant concentrate with water in a ratio of one part lubricant concentrate to 100 to 1000 parts water to form a lubricant use composition and c. applying the lubricant use composition to at least a portion of the container- contacting surface of the conveyor or to at least a portion of the conveyor-contacting surface of the container, and wherein the pH of the lubricant use composition is less than about 6.4. Also disclosed is the lubricant concentrate composition used in the method.
