Insights, Technology, and Performance

Since 1991, we have been road testing and advancing sealant technology and delivery systems. Our leading-edge research required the creation of new simulation and testing machinery. This included our custom built world-first, state-of-the-art rotating disk machine in 1995. The machine generates the centrifugal forces of high-speed driving, with variable speed, down force pressure and tyre pressure controls. We monitor and map airloss ratings, observe liquid rheology and sealant capabilities from the tread area to the side walks.

Being the first to install in-tyre camera vision in 2000. This enabled us to directly monitor sealants in real-time from the moment of injection through to many hours of constant rotation at various speeds and tyre pressures.

Discovering electrical energy between the tyre and wheel/rim that causes the generation of ozone within the tyre chamber and the resulting corrosive effect around the bead area. Our purpose built software made it possible to control and simulate a variety of dynamics between sealants, puncturing objects and tyres. We benchmark sealant, enhance the performance of our formulations and ensure the most responsible and efficient use of chemicals. As a result, we have developed superior tyre sealants that are reliable, economical and environmentally responsible.

Latex Sealant Versus Trydel

Trydel sealant works better. Competitor products that rely on a latex require time for the sealant to harden and form a plug. The problem with latex sealant is that it may leak over the roadside before it has time to harden. Our research and development improved upon latex based product all while using less chemicals.
