Global Leader in Sealant DevelopmentITW Global Tire Repair holds the position as the absolute global leader in tire repair products and holds patents for the use of Glycerin as an antifreeze agent in tire sealants. The sealant is a specially formulated blend of environmentally friendly polymers and proprietary congealing agents.
The advanced solution remains liquid in the tire. When evenly distributed through rotation, the molecules create friction as it squeezes through the newly formed puncture destabilizing the latex and propelling the rubber to bond and form a mechanical plug. In 2004, the scientists at ITW Global Tire Repair began searching for greener solutions for their tire sealants. Glycerin, a natural compound, derived from animal fats or vegetables was found to be ultimately suited to replace EG and PG. Its hypoallergenic properties were found to be a huge leap ahead for our customers. Another major advantage was the complete bio-degradability of the compound. |
