PERFORMANCE TESTING
A. The ability of the "Safety-Seal" sealant to seal punctures up to 1/4" (6mm) in diameter.
B. The ability of the "Safety-Seal" sealant to prevent the loss of air pressure from a tire immediately
after puncturing and over a period of time.
C. The effect of the "Safety-Seal" sealant on wheel balancing.
D. The effect of the "Safety-Seal" sealant's corrosion resistance properties on tire rims.
E. The effect of low temperatures on the stability of the "Safety-Seal" sealant and determination of
its freezing point.
F. Washability of "Safety-Seal" sealant after prolonged use.
G. The stability of "Safety-Seal" sealant after prolonged use.
CONCLUSIONS
A. "Safety-Seal" sealant pumped into tires, sealed punctures made by an assortment of scrwes and
nails up to 1/4" in diameter in both the tread and valley areas. In addition, discrete punctures made witha
1/2" diameter scratch awl were sealed immediately on rotation of the tire.
B. When the recommended amount of "Safety-Seal" sealant is pumped into tires, road tests indicated no
shimmying or vibration of the vehicle and no effect on the balance of the tire.
C. The "Safety-Seal" had no significant corrosive effect on mild steel coupons of the type used in the
fabrication of wheel rim.
D. Repeated freezing and thawing of the "Safety-Seal" sealant had no effect on its stability and physical
properties.
E. The freezing point of the "Safety-Seal" under laboratory conditions was -30 degrees.
