Abstract
A mint-based vehicular conductive wiring insulation for preventing rodents and other animals from chewing vehicular conductive wiring. The insulation is biodegradable and cost-effective and does not contain soy and petrochemical compounds. The insulation includes mint such as Peppermint, Spearmint, and/or Applemint and can be used as an insulation for any type of vehicular electric wiring. The mint wires having mint insulation over a conducting element resembling and functioning like soy-based wires and preventing animals from chewing on the wires due to the repellant properties of mint flavors to most animals. The insulation and wire can be used with any type of wire harness.
Claims20
A mint-based vehicular conductive wiring insulation comprising:
- a vehicular conductive wiring having a vehicular conductive wiring insulation including a mint base for scenting said vehicular conductive wiring insulation;
- wherein said mint base extracted from a mint oil;
- wherein said mint oil is selected from a group consisting of one or more of a Peppermint oil, a Spearmint oil, and an Applemint oil;
- wherein said mint oil processed through esterification using a catalyst;
- wherein said mint oil and said catalyst forming an ester;
- wherein said ester subjected to a high pressure and a high temperature to form polymer chains of mint;
- wherein said polymer chains of mint forming a bioplastic;
- and
- further wherein said bioplastic added to a composition of a polyurethane and a polyvinyl chloride for extrusion into said mint-based said vehicular conductive wiring insulation.
A method of forming a mint-based vehicular conductive wiring insulation, the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting a mint base from a mint oil,
