LOW VISCOSITY TIRE SEALANT

摘要

The invention relates to the in tandem use of specific ingredients for a tire sealant formulation that will repair and/or prevent future flats caused by any type of air loss in a pneumatic tire. It is desirable for a tire sealant formula to contain various sized and shaped particles/objects to form a clot that will plug any punctures and/or leaks in the tire. Another desirable feature of a tire sealant is to provide a seal that is permanent and will last the life of the tire where in prior art formulations it is common for non-adhesive based tire sealants to leak and not provide a permanent fix for the leak and/or puncture. It is also desirable for the liquid to be lightweight and low viscosity for a faster flowing liquid with low flowing resistance which is not common in prior art tire sealants. The aforementioned characteristics are key to creating a tire sealant formulation that requires less sealant to be applied inside the tire. It is favorable to use less quantity of tire sealant in some tires because larger quantities of tire sealant will cause tire balance issues and the application of less tire sealant into a tire is quicker and easier. The present invention solves the aforementioned problems by creating a low viscosity, lightweight liquid that contains the right type and amount of particles/objects as well as the right adhesive to provide the plug needed to form a permanent plug/clot and seal any punctures/holes and/or leaks while using up to 75% less tire sealant in comparison to many prior art formulations.
