How it works
Tire Armor tire sealant is a combination of liquid, polymers, fiber, and rubber particles, held together by a strong chemical bond. By creating an advanced fluid-fiber matrix that coats the inner surface of the tire, Tire Armor has progressed far beyond the limits of conventional and often temporary liquid puncture sealants. Easily installed through the tire’s valve, the sealing process begins. As the vehicle moves, Tire Armor is quickly dispersed by the tire’s rotation, forming a uniform and consistent coating that clings to the inner surfaces of the tire.
PUNCTURES
When a puncture occurs, Tire Armor is forced into the wound with the escaping air and centrifugal force of the rotating tire. The always present and uniform coating immediately forms a secure plug that extends from the inner liner through to the tread surface. Only the sealant within the wound that is exposed to outside air solidifies. The remaining internal sealant stays liquid and continues to provide protection. In many cases, a puncture may not be visually detected until closer inspection. If a nail or puncturing object remains in the tire, Tire Armor seals around it.
AIR MIGRATION
In all tires, tiny pores and passageways run throughout the many layers of rubber, steel and fiber of the tire. These near microscopic openings are the source of unnoticed but constant and perpetual air loss that substantially shorten a tire’s life. Centrifugal force and the tire’s flexing action combine with heat to set the Tire Armor fluid-fiber matrix within the passageways, effectively blocking air loss
