The present invention relates to conveyor lubricant compositions including an emulsion of a lipophilic compound and also including an emulsifier and/or an anionic surfactant. The present invention also relates to methods employing such lubricant compositions. In an embodiment, the method includes applying the present lubricant composition to a conveyor with a non-energized nozzle.

The present disclosure relates to a synthetic vegetable oil and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition including the same, and a preparation method thereof, and provides a method of preparing a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil through a catalyst-free and rinsing-free process, a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil that is a synthetic vegetable oil obtained by the method, and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition that contains the glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil and that is capable of reducing electricity consumption by 7 to 8% compared to mineral oil-based lubricating oils due to excellent flame retardancy (with self-extinguishing function) and lubricity.

The invention addresses a problem of providing a lubricating oil composition for refrigerators excellent in thermal stability for a refrigerant that contains difluoromethane (R32), trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) and at least one compound (α) selected from saturated fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (HFC) except difluoromethane (R32). The lubricating oil composition for refrigerators is used for a refrigerant containing difluoromethane (R32), trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) and at least one compound (α) selected from saturated fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (HFC) except difluoromethane (R32), and contains at least one kind of base oil selected from polyoxyalkylene glycols, polyvinyl ethers, copolymers of a poly(oxy)alkylene glycol or a monoether thereof and a polyvinyl ether and polyol esters, in which the hydroxyl value of the base oil is 15 mgKOH/g or less.
