is a puncture preventative.
is an inert substance pumped through the valve stem of tyres,
which are then rotated and consequently are sealed against pourous
and rim leaks.
Points
to Remember
Sealing
will only occur on the tread of the tyre, i.e., from shoulder
to shoulder in the tread area. Sealing will not occur on tyre
side wall as centrifugal force does not operate on this portion
of the tyre, and there is too much flexing in the side wall.
Pneumatic
Tyres
is only applied into pneumatic tyres, i.e., all tyres which
are inflated with air. Caution should be taken that there is
no water in tyres before applying the product. Ensure that the
compressors contain water traps which prevent water from collecting
in air lines, as all compressors generate water.
Under
Inflation
Problem:
Under inflated tyres can be dangerous. Under inflation is a
frequent cause of tyre damage. Excessive flexing, which build
up internal heat eventually weakens the side of the tyre. Under
inflation will also cause rapid tread wear.
Solution:
seals all pourous leaks, thus maintaining correctly inflated
tyre pressure in tubeless tyres.
Problem:
Under inflation leads to poor steering response, reduces cornering
ability and can cause loss of control in emergencies.
Solution:
seals tyres and rims of pourous leaks and will seal most punctures
in the tread area of tubeless tyres caused by puncturing objects
up to 6mm in diameter as the vehicle is being driven.
Problem:
Under inflation increases rolling resistance in the tyre. This
acts like a dragging brake and can significantly increase fuel
consumption.
Solution:
seals all pourous leaks in tubeless tyres and rims, thus maintaining
correctly inflated tyre pressure.
Problem:
Under inflation can make the side walls of the tyre vulnerable
to damage from kerbs, potholes and sharp objects on the road.
Solution:
seals all pourous leaks in tyre rims and seals punctures in
the tread area of tubeless tyres caused by puncturing objects
no larger than 6mm as the vehicle is being driven.
Problem:
Under inflation is dangerous in wet weather which allows the
tread grooves to close up so that water cannot drain away. This
causes aqua planing and can result in total loss of steering
control, especially during cornering or braking.
Solution:
seals all pourous leaks in tubeless tyre rims, thus maintaining
correctly inflated tyres.
