What is Tyre Protector?

Tyre Protector is a liquid (gel) puncture sealant that is injected into tubeless, pneumatic tyres that offers permanent guaranteed puncture protection for the life of the tyre.

When a tyre that has been treated with Tyre Protector encounters a puncture, air pressure inside the tyre forces Tyre Protector into the wound forming an instant and permanent repair.

It takes only a small amount of Tyre Protector sealant to repair a puncture, there is sufficent material left inside the tyre to remain effective against many more punctures to come!

Tyre Protector is the most effective puncture protection/repair solution Worldwide.

How do Tyre Protector tyre sealants work?

They repair punctures and leaks immediately as air pressure inside the tyre forces Tyre Protector into the wound giving an instant and permanent repair.

As the tyre rotates, centrifugal force evenly spreads Tyre Protector over the entirety of the internal tread area, coating the area with a minimum 2mm coating of sealant.

The coating repairs leaks immediately a penetration occurs as thousands of strong interlocking fibres react instantly sealing around the puncturing object thus preventing loss of air. Read the full details...


Production Information - Details

There are many sealants currently on the market, but Tyre Protector is widely recognised as the most effective and advanced product available.

To demonstrate our confidence in our product we have developed an approach where the emphasis is on practical demonstration of exactly how the product works and potential customers are frequently offered an opportunity to try before they buy.

  • Underinflation is the biggest cause of blow outs and excess tyre wear. Underinflation generates excess heat (a tyres biggest enemy). Most tyres run underinflated because a tyre loses air via the microscopic pores in rubber (porosity leaks). Because of the manufacturing process involved in tyre production, the microscopic pores are ONLY evident within the tread area. Tyre Protector's advanced formulation eliminates air loss and provides complete puncture protection.
  • Tyre Protector is a laboratory tested and road proven thixotropic tyre sealant, which instantly and permanently seals punctures in the tread area caused by puncturing objects up to (6mm) in car tyres and (12mm) in commercial vehicle tyres.
  • It reduces underinflation and is beneficial to the life of the tyre as it helps to maintain constant air-pressure, extending tyre life and greatly improving fuel economy.

  • Insert a new valve core. (recommended)
  • Re-inflate tyre to required pressure.
  • Ensure that the vehicle is driven for a minimum of five minutes to enable the tyre sealant to spread and form a protective barrier around the circumference of the tyre.

Function

As the tyre rotates, centrifugal force evenly spreads Tyre Protector over the entirety of the internal tread area, coating the area with a minimum 2mm coating of sealant. The coating repairs leaks immediately a penetration occurs as thousands of strong interlocking fibres react instantly sealing around the puncturing object thus preventing loss of air.

Product Questions & Answers

What it Tyre Protector?

A glycol based, water soluble tyre sealant that when professionally installed will permanently protect tyres against punctures and air loss. Additional benefits include extending the life of tyres and improving fuel efficiency.

How does it seal punctures?

Tyre Protector forms a thin protective coating between the tyre and the air within the tyre. When a puncturing object penetrates the tyre, air pressure forces the sealant into the wound repairing the damage instantly and permanently.

Why does it extend the life of tyres?

A tyres biggest enemy is excess heat. Excess heat is caused by under inflation. Under inflation is the cause of 98% of blow outs. It can be caused by slow punctures or poor maintenance but tyre protector will prevent under inflation.

Why does it improve fuel efficiency?

When a tyre is running at its correct pressure it creates less rolling resistance. To prove this quite easily to yourself try pushing a wheelbarrow with an under inflated tyre.

What is the lifespan of Tyre Protector?

Providing it is kept in an air tight container, indefinite. In a tyre, the legal life of the tyre.

Will Tyre Protector damage the rim?

Tyre Protector contains corrosion and rust inhibitors and will not damage the rim or steel belt within the tyre.

Can Tyre Protector be used in a tubed tyre?

Yes providing the correct procedure is followed. However, we cannot guarantee the installation because we do not know the condition of the tube.

Will Tyre Protector affect the manufacturer's warranty?

As Tyre protector is chemically inert and water soluble it does not affect the components of the tyre and will not affect the manufacturers warranty.

Will it cause imbalance?

No.

Is Tyre Protector affected by extreme temperatures?

No. Tyre Protector is used extensively in Scandinavia and Australia where temperatures reach plus and minus 45 degrees.

Will Tyre Protector form a hard plug when it repairs a puncture?

No. The repair is designed to be flexible to allow it to flex with the tyre.

Why is Tyre Protector the most advanced puncture protection system in the world?

Tyre Protector is Glycol based and will not congeal or break down like many other sealants. Although there are alternative glycol products available they have not been effective in the extreme conditions that Tyre Protector endures daily. When professionally installed, it will not affect the balance of the Tyre. Tyre Protector is fully guaranteed.

Why is Tyre Protector professionally installed?

Tyre Protector technicians have undergone extensive training and will only carry out installations on vehicles that have been professionally inspected. Treated tyres are fully guaranteed for the remaining legal life of the tyre and your local technician will only be a telephone call away should they be required.

What types of tyres is Tyre Protector suitible for?

Any pneumatic tyre.

Is Tyre Protector environmentally friendly?

Yes. Tyre Protector is fully biodegradable and non toxic. Furthermore, because it extends the life of tyres it reduces the amount of tyres going for scrap. A major environmental issue.

Will Tyre Protector work against stingers?

No. A stinger is made up with hundreds of hollow plastic spikes. When a tyre drives over them the spikes brake off inside the tyre to provide a controlled deflation.
