on ABSTRACT
The passoge ofa container along a conveyor is lubricated by
applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water
‘misciblesilicone material anda water-miseible lubricant. 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.
