Conveyor lubricant, passivation of a thermoplastic container to stress cracking,and thermoplastic stress crack inhibitor

摘要

A process for lubricating a container, such as a beverage container, or a conveyor for containers, by applying to the container or conveyor, a thin continuous, substantially non-dripping layer of a liquid lubricant. The process provides many advantages compared to the use of a conventional dilute aqueous lubricant.
