Abstract
Concentrated solid and liquid antimicrobial lubricating compositions which include (-) about 1-20 wt % of a diamine acetate salt having the formula [(R.sup.1 )NH(R.sup.2)NH.sub.3 ].sup.+ (CH/COO).sup. - or [(R.sup.1)NH.sub.2 (R.sup.2)NH.sub.3.sup.++ ](CH.sub.3 COO).sub.2.sup.- wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.10-18 aliphatic group or an ether group having the formula R.sup.10 O(R.sup.11) wherein R.sup.10 is a C.sub.10-18 aliphatic group and R.sup.11 is a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group; and R.sup.2 is a C.sub.1-5 alkylene group, (-) about 0-30 wt % of an alcohol for the purpose of enhancing the physical stability of the composition, and (-) about 0-20 wt % of a nonionic surfactant. The liquid form of the lubricant composition includes a major proportion of water while the solid form of the lubricant composition includes an amount of a solidification agent effective for assisting in solidification of the composition. The lubricating compositions are particularly useful on the load bearing surfaces of conveyor belts used in food preparation where a combination of effective lubricity and efficacious antimicrobial activity are necessary.
