Tyre punctures can pose a real logistical nightmare for plant operators, particularly in difficult on-site environments where repairing or replacing tyres can be tricky. To help avoid the costs, delays and downtime caused by punctures, this week’s Plant Product Focus turns the spotlight on puncture prevention.

Punctureseal is a unique liquid tyre sealant that continuously stands on guard to protect tyres of all shapes and sizes. Researched and developed over 45 years, Punctureseal helps protect hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide from punctures and the costs inevitably associated with them. Punctureseal comes in both a standard commercial grade suitable for road vehicles, and a heavy-duty alternative.

Our heavy-duty off-the-road (OTR) formulation was originally developed for tyres on combat vehicles where bullet wounds would prevent the vehicle from completing its mission. Punctureseal Heavy Duty Grade is capable of sealing large wounds, providing extra reliability where downtime can be extremely costly. 

How does it work?

When a tyre is punctured, Punctureseal is forced against the puncturing object, or into the wound it leaves. Special fibres entwine forming a clot. When exposed to outside air the seal hardens, becoming impervious to water (rain, snow, mud etc).
