| abstract |
A bottle conveyor lubricant composition used for polyalkylene terephthalate containers, characterized by comprising (A) a specific chelating compound, and (B) water, and further optionally containing (C) a nonionic surfactant, (D) a water-soluble solvent, (E) a cationic surfactant, and/or (F) an anionic surfactant. Using the specific chelating compound as a main component makes it possible to obtain a bottle conveyor lubricant suitable for moving and conveying PET containers on a stainless steel conveyor. Furthermore, by adding a specific surfactant, it is possible to obtain a bottle conveyor lubricant that can be used alone to enable PET containers to be moved and conveyed not only on stainless steel conveyors but also on resin conveyors. Moreover, the composition has excellent detergency, lubricating ability, sterilizing ability, scale suppressing ability, and stress crack preventing ability, and has an excellent effect of suppressing occurrence of deposit upon being mixed with a beverage. A method of using the composition is also provided. |
