Description Air-Seal 475-ml Bottle: Puncture Prevention System (Previously known as a Bike Seal) A unique premier tyre sealant and puncture prevention system. It is now relaunched under a new label in a convenient 475-ml bottle. This relaunch is a result of customer feedback and growing demand. This product was first made in the early 1960s for NASA to protect spacesuits. It was then adopted by the US military in the early 1970s, having met the requirement to protect their tyres when shot!  It was introduced and tested for UK military use before entering service within the entire NATO force. It has been used in wars like those in Iraq and Afghanistan, where independent reports attest to its efficacy. MIRA also extensively tested this same product under a different label prior to the formation of the Bike-Seal brand, bringing it to wider markets with specialised knowledge and experience. Further independent testing by different organisations included “real-world” speed trials, whereby it was tested and approved for use within the UK’s ‘Blue Light Emergency Services’. This sealant is the only product that has been tested and authorised. This sealant is a unique puncture prevention system. This sealant is unlike any other tyre sealant on the market. Its unrivalled technology is superior. It provides a permanent prevention solution as part of safe tyre management for motorbikes and all vehicles, and it is now widely used worldwide by major organisations and commercial vehicle fleets. Details: Seals up to 15 mm punctures. PERMANENTLY Easy self-application Complete with telescopic delivery cap (extension if required) and valve core removal key Guided usage: 1 x 475-ml bottle protects 1 standard bike (2 tyres). A product can be stored even when opened; there is no shelf life. This means it can be used at a later date. It is compatible with all TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems). How it Works HOW?As the tyre rotates, the product spreads evenly across its inner surface. The moment a penetration occurs, the air pressure in the tyre forces millions of fibre particles and fillers suspended in either ethylene or propylene glycol to interlock, which plugs the hole in the tread area, preventing any further air loss within one or two revolutions of the wheel. This action is so rapid that the driver may not know a puncture has happened. Later, when the tyre is inspected, if the problem is still present, it can be removed. When removed, the vehicle must be driven immediately to enable the sealant to reseal. This technology can repair holes up to 30 mm (1¼ inches), depending on the grade of sealant used. The strength of the tyre repair increases with the strength of the fibres used. The strongest fibres are state-of-the-art synthetic ones, such as those used in tyre cords and bulletproof vests. Using a variety of fibres is also important, especially for the relatively thin carcass of an ATV, golf buggy, or lawncare equipment tyre. The more varied the fibres are in length and degree of branching, the faster the seal forms and the more permanent it is. FillersOnce a strong plug is formed by the fibres, the final seal is provided by filler particles that lodge between them to form an effective, airtight plug. The use of these fillers is imperative for a high-performance sealant. Suspension stability The liquid in the sealant formulation is the medium for the fibres and fillers to reach the puncture area in the tyre. In some sealant formulations, the components may separate over time if the tyre is inactive. If separation occurs, these formulations will fail as tyre sealants. Air-Seal high-performance sealants will not separate to ensure protection for the legal life of the tyre.
