Drivesafe Pre Puncture application.

Drivesafe pre-puncture tyre sealant is installed into the wheel via the valve when the wheel starts to rotate the product is distributed in a forward motion which applies a protective coating on the inner lining of the tread area of the tyre which acts as a guard against punctures. When a foreign object penetrates the casing and passes through the protective coating air pressure instantly forces the gel into the puncture wound creating a temporary self-sealing tyre. By sealing the puncture instantly offers the driver extended mobility and allows the vehicle to continue their journey this helps to reduce the risks involved in roadside wheel changes.

The advantage of sealing the puncture instantly whilst the vehicle is in motion the flexible seal helps to maintain the correct operating pressure. This helps to eliminate additional heat build-up within the casing from operating under pressure and speed which could possibly lead to failure. By helping to maintain correct pressure it helps to maximise full potential tread life of the tyre, under-inflated tyres have an adverse effect on the vehicle's stability and handling at speed and increase in tread wear. Excessive heat build-up within the casing resulting from underinflation is the number 1 cause of tyre failure

The product is designed to seal approximately between 3-5mm within the crown area of the tyre. The life of the seal is determined by the actual damage sustained to the casing caused by the foreign object due to no two puncture wounds are the same. This is due to the wide range of foreign objects scattered on our roads, whether the object has been retained within the tread area or has been ejected leaving an open wound, the size of the foreign object and what damage the casing has sustained. A piece of glass would damage the construction of a tyre more than a small nail, the product is designed to seal whilst the vehicle is in motion. If the tyre sustained a large puncture wound then the product will reduce the rate of deflation initially eliminating the possibility of a blowout and alerting the driver to reduce the speed and pull over to a safe place.

With the use of tyre sealant, we would advise regular tyre pressure checks also visual checks for cuts or foreign objects lodged in the tread area. In the event of finding a foreign object which has become lodged in the tread area, it would be advisable to have the tyre examined by your local garage or tyre dealer at the earliest opportunity.
Drivesafe products are different from what is supplied with modern vehicles with no spare wheels. The product supplied with modern vehicles is most often a latex based product which once used it renders the tyre scrap as latex has an adverse effect on the tyre's inner lining and can be difficult to wash out, Drivesafe products are water soluble which can be washed out with just water.

Drivesafe products are designed for use in highway vehicles ranging from cars, vans, motorhomes, motorbikes, buses and trailers & caravans.

Drivesafe tyre sealant is an effective method of temporary repair to the tyre, depending on the damage to the tyre casing the seal may last a week, a month or even the life of the tyre. Drivesafe tyre sealant products are non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable environmentally friendly water soluble product in the event of the tyre requiring a repair, the tyre can be removed from the wheel in the normal way with the product being washed out with just water allowing a visual inspection of the casing can then be carried out to determine whether a permanent repair can be undertaken to the relevant industry standards in the UK to BSau159.
