PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A SILICONE EMULSION FOR CORK LUBRICATION AND SEALING OF BOTTLES AND OTHER CONTAINERS OF LONG SHELF-LIFE BEVERAGES AND FOODSTUFFS

摘要

This invention covers a lubricant and sealant to be applied on corks, consisting in a stable emulsified mixture of pure fluid silicone and an inert non toxic substance such as atomized amorphous silica gel or metallic salt stearate, so that the resulting product has a higher density than pure fluid silicone, not seeping into the contents, while ensuring perfect lubrication and sealing of the corks and remaining unaltered even during high temperature pasteurization and during the subsequent cooling stage.
