HOW IT WORKS
As the tyre rotates, the product spreads evenly over the inside
surface. Immediately a penetration occurs, the air pressure in the
tyre forces millions of fibre particles and fillers suspended
either in ethylene or propylene glycol to interlock which plugs
the hole in the tread area preventing any further air loss within
one or two revolutions of the wheel.
This action is so rapid that the driver may not know a puncture
has happened. Later, when the tyre is inspected, if the cause is
still present it can be removed. When removed, the vehicle must be
driven immediately to enable the tyre to re-seal itself.
Depending on the grade of Sealant used, holes up to 30 mm (1¼
inches) can be repaired using this technology.

Armor-Seal Tyre Sealant Formulated for Industrial
and Military Vehicles
This Grade is the Premium product in the Company’s range of pre-puncture
sealants.
It is capable of plugging holes up to 30 mm (1¼ inches)
across heavier ply tyres – more than double any other Sealant now available
worldwide. This Sealant has been proved in extreme
conditions.
Armor-Seal has proved itself on active service in Afghanistan and
Iraq (NATO Stock Number: 7MV/2640-99-748-4390). Our range of
tyre sealants not only protects your tyres from up to 95% of
punctures but will also extend their life. The product has an
unlimited shelf life and will outlast the life of the tyre. It has
performed equally well when working in locations of severe conditions for
example quarrying, mining, docksides and major construction sites. There is
also the fact that slow air leaks are eliminated.
In these environments, considerable reductions
in the frequency of punctures and maintaining air pressures in tyres which
were grossly under inflated, considerable operational benefits and cost
savings will be achieved, For example, expensive downtime until the driver and
machine can resume working and increased working tyre life to offset the
already high cost of replacement tyres.
There is a growing worldwide problem for the
users of heavy industrial tyres. Higher material costs are forcing tyre
manufacturers to reduce the types and sizes of tyres produced which in turn
will add to the waiting time for the larger and more specialised sizes for
example, earth mover tyres.
Most importantly, the cost of one treatment of
the Armor-Seal Grade should last the working life of the tyre which compares
with the true cost of the first conventional repair of any comparable tyre.
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.

Heavy Duty Tyre Sealant Formulated for On and
Off Road Vehicles
This Grade is capable of sealing punctures of up to 15 mm ( 5/8 inch ) in one
revolution of the wheel without noticeable loss of tyre pressure.
It is based
on the most sophisticated technology developed over twenty years. Our aim is to prove that profits will be
increased from the advantages which will be achieved from treating the tyres
of a wide range of vehicles used for both activities.
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.
On Road:
-
Increases tyre life by up to 20%.
-
Reduces fuel costs by maintaining correct
tyre pressures.
-
Avoids downtime waiting for tyre repair or
replacements.
-
Prevents costly penalties for late
deliveries.

-
Provides protection from hazardous working
conditions on landfill sites, building site clearance, civil engineering
projects and agricultural activities.
-
Prevents air leaks around the tyre bead and
wheel rim.
-
Avoids costly downtime for the driver and
machine when the machine is idle.
-
The cost of one treatment is no more than
conventional repair methods.
-
The usage of specialist tyre repair services
is greatly reduced.

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 give 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.
Tyre Sealant Formulated for Fleet &
Commercial Carriers
This Grade of
Sealant will provide a high level of tyre protection for a wide
range of on-road vehicles with multi-axle construction.
This protection is important for large transporters used for
suppliers to Supermarkets, major industrial product manufacturers,
the Motor industry, Buses, Coaches, Minibuses and other markets
where delivery on time is an essential requirement.
For Fleet Managers using a wide range of vehicle types and designs
for every form of product distribution, the reduction in downtime
while waiting for the tyre to be replaced would have significant
cost savings.
Under inflation or slow air leaks are the leading causes of
premature tyre wear. The application of this Sealant to reduce
these conditions not only extends the life of the tyre but also
increases fuel economy by reducing tyre drag.
This Product also seals up to 95% of punctures (as large as 15mm)
while dissipating heat within the tyre which increases tread life
by up to 20%. It is guaranteed for the life of the tyre in regular
use. Once a puncture occurs, the centrifugal force and the jet
action of escaping air propel the sealant to the area of the
problem.
As the tyre flexes under load conditions, the multi-sized fibres
and fillers are compressed to form a permanent plug. Air loss is
minimal. This process can be repeated many times without the need
of additional sealant. The installed cost compares favourably with
the repair of one puncture, The correct amount of sealant for each
tyre size must be installed. If more or less is applied this may
cause the sealant to be less effective and costly.
In a typical fleet the investment cost of Air-Seal Products
Tyre Sealant can be recouped within 45 days
All-purpose Sealant formulated for
Recreational Activities and Equipment. Supplied in 1Litre Bottles
This sealant is based on Technology, which is designed to greatly
reduce the probability of punctures, or slow air leaks in vehicles
used in both on and off road sporting and leisure activities. It
also has an indefinite shelf life.
This sealant is supplied in one-litre bottles with a valve core
tool, installation tubing and full instructions for use. A source
of compressed air or a foot pump will be required to reflate the
tyre after application. During installation avoid the sealant
being swallowed or splashed in the eyes.
The installed cost for each tyre compares favourably with the
repair of one puncture and avoids the inconvenience, time and
effort involved while replacing the wheel.
This sealant is available from Air-Seal Products Ltd or from are
network of agents, It can also be supplied in convenient 12 x
1Litre Packs if requested.
Trailers
Recommended application for all 13", 14" and 15" trailer tyres: ½
litre/tyre.
This product is specially designed for boat trailers to inhibit
conditions where high corrosion to wheels is due to immersion in
coastal or river waters. It is also ideally suited for preventing
most punctures and under inflation in tyres used for Caravans,
Light trailers and Horseboxes and other similar vehicles, which
are not used regularly. In these circumstances, tyres can
deteriorate due to rubber porosity and slow air leaks.
Most importantly it will reduce the risk of tyre failure and
safety problems while on major roads. When this happens it cause
stress for the drivers and their passengers and may be a potential
hazard to themselves and other road users. In addition the traffic
police will probably become involved.
Low Pressure Tyres
Recommended application for 8", 9", 10" and 11" wheel rims: up to
1 litre/tyre.
Tyres, which are used for Quad Bikes and accessories.
General Purpose
Application rates
will vary according to the vehicle: see Installation Instructions
Table on the bottle.
Suitable for Golf Carts, Large Lawn Tractors, Wheel Barrows, Wheel
Chairs and Bicycles, which can all, benefit from this sealant.
4x4 On-Off Road
Recommended application On Road ½ litre/tyre, Off Road 1
litre/tyre.
Apart from increasing the protection for the tyres of these
vehicles from punctures, other smaller types of vehicles used in
off road sports would also have additional tyre protection in the
rigorous conditions, which have to be met in such activities.
