The Institute For Research, and independent laboratory located in Houston, Texas, conducted numerous performance tests of SAFETY-SEAL using major brands of truck tires.
Its conclusions:

"...sealed punctures were made by an assortment of screws and nails up to one-quarter inch in diameter in both the tread and valley areas...the treatment acted instantaneously and no loss of pressure was observed in both soapy water and gauge tests."

" ...road tests indicated no shimmying or vibration of the vehicle and no effect on the balance of the tire...''

"... it is non-corrosive to mid steel used in wheel rims"

" .. the ability to maintain it's physical integrity and sealing properties over prolonged periods should make it economically attractive to large fleet operations. "

• Heavy duty trucks
• Independent trucking fleets
• Off the-road vehicles
• Sanitation trucks
• Commercial freight haulers
• Intermodal lines
• Industrial/Construction equipment
• Golf carts, shuttle/tram vehicles

Customers report the following tire-saving advantages:

• Tire life extended 20 percent or more
• Sharply reduced incidence of punctures and flats
• Far less downtime for field service calls and shop repairs
• Higher value tire casings in better retread condition
• No need for additional tube in tubeless tire
• Less operator fatigue due to unbalanced tires and vibration

1. The ability of the "SAFETY-SEAI," sealant to seal punctures up to 1/4" (6mm) in diameter.
2. 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.
3. The effect of the "SAFETY-SEAL" sealant on wheel balancing.
4. The effect of the "SAFETY-SEAL." sealant's corrosion resistance properties on tire rims.
5. The effect of low temperatures on the stability of the "SAFETY-SEAI," sealant and determination of its freezing point
6. Washability of "SAFETY-SEAL," sealant after prolonged use.
7. The stability of "SAFETY-SEAI," sealant after prolonged use.

1. "SAFET'Y-SEAL" Sealant pumped into tires, sealed punctures made by an assortment of screws and nails up to 1/4" in diameter in both the tread and valley areas. In addition, discrete punctures made with a 1/2" diameter scratch awl were sealed immediately on rotation of the tire.
2. 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.
3. The "SAFETY-SEAI," had no significant corrosive effect on mild steel coupons of the type used in the fabrication of wheel rim.
4. Repeated freezing and thawing of the "SAFETY-SEAL" sealant had no effect on its stability an physical properties.
5. The freezing point of the "SAFETY-SEAL" under laboratory conditions was -30 degrees.
6. The "SAFETY-SEAL" Sealant exhibited excellent washability after prolonged use and could be removed using tap water with a minimum of effort.
7. The "SAFETY-SEAL" Sealant showed no evidence of degradation after prolonged use.

1. Evaluation of the puncture sealing properties of "SAFETY-SEAL" Sealant under the specified test conditions showed it to be extremely effective for scaling punctures made by regularly shaped objects up to 1/4" in diameter embedded in the tire, and for sealing discrete holes made In the tire with a sharp object The sealant acted instantaneously and no loss of pressure was observed.
2. The centrifugal force generated when the tire is rotating is sufficient to spread the "SAF'ETY-SEAL" Sealant evenly over the casing. Even distribution of the sealant when the tire is rotating avoids any disturbance of the wheel balance and would maintain wheel balance if a weight is accidentally lost
3. Freezing and thawing SAFETY-SEAL Sealant does not affect the stability or its properties. This enables the sealant to be used in a wide variety of climatic conditions. In addition, no special storage conditions are necessary and the product can be used even after freezing.
4. "SAFETY-SEAL" Sealant has excellent washability and can easily be removed. This property is particularly beneficial to tire service departments where similar sealant products based on rubber latexes are messy and difficult to remove.
5. The ability of "SAFETY-SEAL," to maintain its physical integrity and sealant properties over prolonged periods makes it economically attractive to large fleet operations.
6. In summary, the "SAFETY-SEAL" Sealant is an effective puncture sealant, with excellent freeze/thaw properties, washability and stability. It is non-corrosive to mild steel and stable over long periods. No long term or short term detrimental effect to the tires was evident from the test performed.
