Tyre Protector (India) Private Limited (TPI) has launched the revolutionary tyre sealant – TYRE PROTECTOR – in India. The company, based in Chennai, is setting up a nationwide distribution network to market the sealant to the commercial and passenger segments.
Developed by Tyre Protector International Ltd, UK, Tyre Protector helps to reduce punctures and consequential downtime by up to 100%! The tyre sealant which can be used in any tubeless pneumatic tyre is usually installed through the valve stem after removal of the valve core. Rotation distributes the sealant evenly around the inner surface.
When a puncture occurs, the air inside the tyre pushes the sealant into the wound instantly repairing the puncture from within by forming a pliable rubber plug. The sealant contains millions of microscopic fibres, natural rubber particles, special adhesives and rust and corrosion inhibitors. All of the chemical components are ones used within the food industry and are totally non-toxic and biodegradable. The sealant also gives up to 30% cooling in the tyre surface.
