Tyre Shield® is a puncture preventative. Tyre Shield® is a liquid polymer that is pumped through the valve stem of tyres, which are then rotated and consequently are sealed against pourous and rim leaks in tubeless tyres.

Sealing will not occur on tyre sidewalls where centrifugal force does not operate due to flexing and air loss of the tyre after a puncture.

Tyre Shield® is only applied into pneumatic tyres, i.e., all tyres which are inflated with air.

Caution should be taken that there is no water in tyres before applying the product.

Ensure that the compressor contains a water trap which prevents water from collecting in air lines, as all compressors generate water.

Excessive flexing, which builds up internal heat eventually weakens the sidewalls of the tyre

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

  1. Shake bottle. Cut 3mm down from tip of the red witches cap. Remove valve core.
  2. Push plastic tube over nozzle stem.
  3. Position tyre valve at 10 or 1 o’clock.
  4. Push plastic tube over valve stem.
  5. Squeeze recommended amount (see on bottle). Replace valve core and reinflate tyre.

Driving with under Inflated tyres can be a problem and a frequent cause of tyre damage. Excessive flexing, which builds up internal heat eventually weakens the side of the tyre and causes rapid tread wear.

Under inflation is dangerous in wet weather which allows the tread grooves to close up so that water cannot drain away. This causes aquaplaning and can result in total loss of steering control, especially during cornering or braking.

Additional possible issues:

  • lead to poor steering response
  • reduces cornering ability
  • can cause loss of control in emergencies. 
  • acts like a dragging brake
  • can significantly increase fuel consumption
  • makes the side walls of the tyre vulnerable to damage from kerbs, potholes and sharp objects on the road.

All the more important to check your tyres are inflated correctly at all times and Tyre Shield® gives you an extra layer of security by sealing tyres and rims of pourous leaks in tyres and bead leaks in rims, and will seal most punctures in the tread area of tubeless tyres caused by puncturing objects up to 6mm in diameter as the vehicle is being driven.
