Impregnating Wax Hydrotreated Pellets 66/70 – 25kg Bag for Beehive Wax Dipping

Our Impregnating Wax Hydrotreating pellets 66/70 are specially formulated for wax dipping beehives in our wax dipping tank. Supplied in pellet form for faster melting, these pellets are ideal for use with a wax dipping tank to preserve and protect timber hive components.

When heated and applied by dipping, this impregnating wax penetrates deeply into the wood, driving out moisture and creating a long-lasting waterproof barrier. Not only does this process extend the lifespan of your wooden hives, but it also helps disinfect and sterilise beehive equipment, keeping your colonies healthier.
