These sealants are normally used for puncture prevention in a wide range of on and off road equipment; for example, heavy earth moving and other large and medium sized vehicles used for motorway and major construction projects, landfill and transfer station sites. The tyres of Large Loading Shovels, Telehandlers, Backhoe's Dumper Trucks of all sizes, Roll on and Roll Off's, Skidsteers, Tractors, Lorries large and small right down to the essential wheelbarrow. All of these examples and many more have all been successfully treated with the recommended grade of sealant.

Our sealants can stop at least 95% of punctures in the tread area from the usual causes. Slow air leaks are eliminated which means longer tyre life and lower fuel consumption.

Most blowouts are caused by excessive heat build up in the tyre almost always caused by under inflation. Slow air leaks increase this risk but are prevented if our tyre sealants are used.

Equally important is the fact that our tyre sealants are homogeneous and will not separate at any speed or when the vehicle is stationary.

Air-Seal Products have five different grade formulations. Each grade is designed to fit a specific need. The following table gives a brief outline of the grades and applications.

These sealants are NOT recommended in saloon cars. If tyres are treated with either of theses grades, it is essential that the wheels are correctly balanced prior to installation and the tyre re-inflated to recommended pressures.

No. If the tyre is damaged beyond the ability of the sealant to plug the hole, the tyre can be “patched” or “booted”. The tyre repairer simply needs to wipe the area around the hole clean and then wipe it with a water soaked rag. The tyre can then be repaired using normal methods. It is not necessary to remove the remaining sealant but if there has been a significant loss, it should be replaced either from a 20 Litre pail or a one Litre bottle. Care is necessary to avoid the contamination of the sealant during the repair.

Yes in both types. It is up to 95% effective in tubeless and 75% in tubed tyres. Where possible, tubeless tyres are preferred.

Yes. It is possible but their main purpose is to stop punctures. Not every puncture can be prevented but before treating the tyre it will be necessary to have a foot pump or a source of compressed air available to re-inflate the tyre to its correct pressure. When installation is completed. The wheel must be rotated immediately by driving the vehicle a short distance to allow the plug to be formed to seal the hole.

No. The 20 Litre pails use specially designed pumps which can install the product in partially inflated tyres.

In most cases, when a puncture occurs the hole will be immediately sealed and the driver will be unaware it has happened.

For the legal life of the tyre. These sealants will not react with the rubber and other constituent materials in the tyre. Most importantly, the components of the sealant will not separate in use.

We are confident that our range of sealants have the best technology and cost benefits which give excellent value for money for the tyres of every vehicle which is treated. A typical fleet should recover the cost of treated tyres within about 45 working days.

Our tyre sealants are based on advanced technology which creates a complex matrix of synthetic fibres and fillers in a liquid suspension. When a puncture occurs, the escaping air forces the sealant to form a plug which seals the leak instantly with almost no air loss. As the tyre flexes under load, the fibre/filler mass compresses to form a dense and permanent seal. This process is the same whether or not the penetrating object stays in the tyre. This process is repeated for every additional puncture. If there are other air losses from tyre porosity, or between rim and bead and even pinhole leaks in the rims these will also be sealed.

They are supplied in 20 Litre pails with an Installation Pump and a Comprehensive Instruction Manual which includes Quick Reference Application Charts. The pump is of all metal construction specially designed for a long service life if properly maintained.

Yes. It is most important that the recommendation quantities are installed in the tyre to be treated. The recommended application rates will ensure the maximum benefit and give protection for the legal life of the tyre.

No. In fact the tyre should be used at once. The more the vehicle is used, the better the plug will be. If you remove a puncturing object, we recommend that you immediately use the vehicle. Rotation of the tyres is important in the sealing process. The plug is mechanically formed. It is not a product of a chemical reaction. The plug is formed within seconds and the puncture is sealed with almost no air loss. With Air-Seal tyre sealant you may not even know you have had a puncture.

These sealants have an indefinite life span. After installing the product, if any remains it is recommended that the lid of the pail is replaced to avoid the possibility that some ‘skinning’ may form. Should this happen, it will easily be stirred in ready for the next installation.

No. There will be no corrosion or rust. Aluminium rims are also protected. Any corrosion will be stopped when the sealant is installed.

No. Air-Seal sealants provide three way protection. Firstly, corrosion inhibitors in the formulations will protect the steel belting. Second, the plug formed by the sealant will keep water from penetrating through the hole in the tyre into the belting. Third by keeping the tyre inflated, the normal pressure is maintained which in turn prevents inward water seepage.

No. There is no reaction between the sealants and these materials.

No. These sealants are supplied ready for use and stirring is not needed.

All our range of sealants are water washable and do not stick to the tyre rims and beads. When necessary will be easily flushed out of the tyre with cold water and normal tap pressure.

These sealants contain ethylene glycol which is also used in anti freeze products which are not regarded as hazardous. These formulations do not contain either caustic or acidic materials. If there is a spillage, clean up using absorbent materials and wash down the area with water. C.O.S.H.H. Substance Report and Risk Assessment Sheets for these sealants are available.

These sealants are neither acidic nor caustic and contain no volatile organic compounds. Ethylene glycol is safe to handle but we recommend the use of safety glasses or a face shield and gloves during installation. Wash with soap and water after handling the product. The product must not be swallowed: a large quantity could cause illness or even death. C.O.S.H.H. Substance Reports and Risk Assessment Sheets are available.

The freeze point for all Air-Seal sealant is -35ºC
