Powdered milk is used as an antitack agent for products made to handle food items, particularly milk. In one embodiment, flexible articles used for handling and storage of food items such as milk are coated with sufficient powdered milk to prevent sticking upon contact. In a preferred embodiment, powdered milk is used as a noncontaminating antitack agent to treat the interior surfaces of rubber tubing designed for use in the transport of milk.

Rubber tubing useful for the handling of food items coated on the interior surfaces thereof with sufficient powdered milk as an antitack agent to prevent sticking of the interior wall of said tubing on self contact where the amount of said powdered milk coating is in the range of about 0.1 mg to about 10 kg per square meter of surface area and said rubber tubing is free of residual solids prior to coating the rubber tubing with the powdered milk. Elastomeric-containing flexible articles of manufacture useful for handling and storage of food items which possess sufficient inherent stickiness or tackiness to cause sticking upon self contact coated with sufficient powdered milk as an antitack agent to prevent sticking of said articles upon contact where the amount of said powdered milk coating is in the range of about 0.1 mg to about 10 kg per square meter of surface area and said elastomeric-containing flexible article of manufacture is free of residual solids prior to coating the article with the powdered milk. A method for preventing elastomeric flexible articles of manufacture made for handling and storage of food items from sticking upon self contact which comprises coating said articles on the surfaces thereof with sufficient powdered milk as an antitack agent to prevent said articles from sticking upon contact with said coating being in the range of about 0.1 mg to 10 kg of powdered milk per square meter of surface area and said article being free of residual solids prior to the coating of the articles with the powdered milk. In a process for transporting milk through a rubber tubing free of residual solids including allowing milk to flow through said tubing and clamping said tubing thereby causing interior surfaces to come in contact whenever an interruption in the flow of milk is desired, the improvement comprising: applying, prior to allowing milk to flow, a sufficient amount of powdered milk in the range from about 0.1 mg to about 10 kg per square meter of surface area onto the interior wall of the rubber tubing to prevent sticking of said interior wall to itself.
