Hydro Seal - Formulated for Water Ballast Tyres
Hydro-Seal
tyre sealant is unique. It is formulated specifically for water-based
ballast filled tyres. Traditional tyre sealants formulated for use in
air filled tyres will separate when mixed with water which causes these
sealants to be ineffective. Furthermore, all other tyre sealants normally
used to treat pneumatic tyres do not contain enough fibres to be truly
effective when diluted with water. Hydro-Seal is designed to overcome
these problems.
Hydro-Seal is a puncture preventative sealant, which disperses uniformly in water-based ballast. Hydro-Seal, when used at a mix of 1part per 10 parts of ballast will eliminate most flat tyre costs, tyre downtime and will last the life of the tyre. Using this Grade increases the tyre weight to giving greater traction and equipment stability by lowering the equipment centre of gravity. As it is water based handling, installation and removal straightforward. Hydro-Seal is inert, environmentally safe and will not attack the tyre casing.
When properly installed into water-based ballasted tyres, Hydro-Seal will seal punctures up to 6.5mm (1/4 inch) in diameter in the tread area of the tyre. This Grade can be used in tubeless or tubed tyres.
When a tyre is punctured, Hydro-Seal instantaneously surrounds the puncturing object to prevent pressure loss. This special sealing process allows for minimal loss of pressure. Also, by plugging leaks and maintaining the proper air pressure Hydro-Seal distributes the tread wear evenly thereby extending tyre life.
The correct amount of sealant for each tyre size must be installed.
If more or less is applied this may cause the sealant to under perform
or be more costly.
