The snxture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide ‘hin, substantially non-dripping lubricating ims. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants ofthe invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors andl containers, a leaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby redecing waste, cleanup and disposal problems. 18 Claims, No Drawings US 8,765,648 B2 Page 2 66) 4714390 p10 A e0.162 Weer aSslas7 Asssite2 aooa7s 4930211 oosons Sinoi 938 000.801 Sins Si73.280 Samoa?
