Patent ID: 7077718

Claim:
A process for forming a plastic product to be used in beekeeping, comprising: a. obtaining a slab of beeswax which is in a hardened state and placing the slab of beeswax into a receptacle which has a source of heat so that the slab of beeswax is melted into a hot liquid state; b. forcing the hot melted beeswax under pressure into an applicator which has a hot spray head so that the beeswax can be sprayed from the applicator and not crystallize in the applicator; c. placing plastic pellets used to form the plastic product into a tumbling device and spraying the hot liquid beeswax from the applicator onto the pellets while the pellets are being tumbled so that the pellets are evenly coated with hot liquid beeswax; d. closing a mold of an injection molding machine, the mold having cavities which are formed into a shape of a final finished plastic product and causing the hot liquid beeswax coated pellets to be placed into an injection molding feeding device which in turn causes the hot liquid beeswax coated pellets to be placed into cavities of the injection molding machine; and e. opening the mold after a final finished product is formed wherein the final finished product is made of plastic impregnated throughout with beeswax.
