  • Conveyor lubricant composition having superior compatibility with synthetic plastic containers
    Patent number: 5174914
    Abstract: Concentrated liquid and solid lubricating compositions having superior compatability with synthetic polymeric packaging materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), linear high density polyethylene (LHDPE), polystyrene, polymeric coated papers, and the like, can include 1 to 50 wt % of a fatty acid diamine salt having the formula [(R.sup.1)(R.sup.2)N(R.sup.5)NH(R.sup.3)(R.sup.4)].sup.+ (R.sup.6 COO).sup.- or [(R.sup.1)(R.sup.2)NH(R.sup.5)NH(R.sup.3)(R.sup.4)].sup.++ (R.sup.6 COO).sub.2.sup.- wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.10-18 aliphatic group; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are independently hydrogen or an alkoxy group containing one to five alkylene oxide units; R.sup.5 is a C.sub.1-5 alkylene group; and R.sup.6 is a C.sub.10-18 aliphatic group. The lubricating compositions are particularly useful on the load bearing surfaces of conveyor belts used in the bottling of carbonated beverages in polyethylene terephthalate bottles.
