Self-adhesive protective wrap

A method for manufacturing a self-adhesive wrap product, the method comprising the steps of:

• immersing a non-woven material layer in a heated bath of a wax formulation to cause the wax formulation to impregnate the non-woven material layer and form an impregnated non-woven material layer, the wax formulation including microcrystalline wax, mineral oil, polypropylene glycol, and soy oil;
• removing the impregnated non-woven material layer from the heated bath;
• removing an excess amount of the wax formulation from outer surfaces of the impregnated non-woven material layer;
• cooling the impregnated non-woven material layer;
• and
• finishing the impregnated non-woven material layer to form the self-adhesive wrap product.

A system for manufacturing a self-adhesive wrap product, comprising:

• a source of a non-woven material layer;
• a heated bath holding a wax formulation including microcrystalline wax, mineral oil, polypropylene glycol, and soy oil, the heated bath configured to receive the non-woven material layer and form an impregnated non-woven material layer;
• a wax remover configured to remove an excess amount of the wax formulation from outer surfaces of the impregnated non-woven material layer;
• a refrigerator configured to receive impregnated non-woven material layer from the wax remover, and cool the impregnated non-woven material layer;
• a cutter configured to receive the impregnated non-woven material from the refrigerator, and to cut the impregnated non-woven material to a predetermined length;
• and
• a perforator configured to receive the cut impregnated non-woven material from the cutter, and to perforate the cut impregnated non-woven material at predetermined locations to form the self-adhesive wrap product.
