  • Patent number: 5885600
    Abstract: A composition that has insect repellent properties is made from cold processed extracted oils and an antioxidant, particularly from a combination of Neem, Citronella and Cedarwood oils. The composition can be made into lotions, creams or sprays for application to mammals and vegetation, or it can be formed into polymeric sheets, which in turn can be formed into various useful articles, such as animal collars, garbage bags, or planting material. The polymeric sheets can also be woven into cloth to form clothing, tents and other items. Further, the composition can be hydrogenated to form a semi-solid, which can be made into candles or other wax like substances. The composition is made be extracting the oils and adding an antioxidant, as well as other desired materials. Nitrogen gas may be used to cover the extracted oil before the addition of the antioxidant.
