Tires are the only thing between you and the road, and it is imperative that your tires are running in optimal condition to keep you safe and focused on the task at hand. In addition to the economic incentives of using Ultraseal through extended tire life, gas mileage savings, and decreased downtime, the increased margin of safety Ultraseal provides cannot be understated. Here are the ways that Ultraseal keeps you safe and saves you money:
- Extends Tire Life
Ultraseal has been tested and proven to maintain tire air pressure, reduce heat buildup and retard aging within the casing. These factors contribute significantly to reductions in tread separations and zipper ruptures and can add up to increased tire life up to 25% – 40%
- Eliminates Most Flats and BlowoutsWhen a puncture occurs, Ultraseal immediately forms a positive and secure seal. In many cases, the puncture may not be visually detected until closer inspection. If a nail or object remains in the tire, Ultraseal effectively seals around it.
Ultraseal will consistently and repeatedly seal punctures ¼” – ½” within the tread area. The repair plug extends from the inner liner through to the external surface of the tire. The Ultraseal plug is pliable, flexes with the tread, and resists the effects of heat or water.
In the case where excessive heat, cracked wheels, or an extreme puncture damages the tire beyond repair, Ultraseal will allow air to escape at a substantially reduced rate, thereby allowing the tire to deflate in a slower controlled manner. This alleviates the hazards associated with blowouts, as the sealant will allow the driver to come to a complete and controlled stop.
- Protects Against UnderinflationUltraseal substantially reduces porosity, air migration and slow leaks. Tire industry magazines, trade associations, tire manufacturers and the retread industry all agree underinflation is the number one cause of premature tire failure. After many years of laboratory and real-life testing, we can confirm that Ultraseal virtually eliminates underinflation caused by air migration and porosity.
- Tires Run CoolerThe number one cause of blowouts can be directly attributed to excessive heat generated from under-inflation. The protective barrier provided by Ultraseal ensures that tire pressure will be maintained for extended periods and will run up to 15% cooler. Cooler running tires mean longer tread life and casings that are better candidates for retread.
- Improves Fuel Economy
By maintaining proper inflation and thus decreasing rolling resistance, Ultraseal will aid in increasing miles driven per gallon of fuel. The US Department of Energy predicts an increase in fuel consumption of 3% for each 10psi reduction in tire pressure.
- Protects Against Rust and CorrosionUltraseal contains a complete rust and corrosion inhibiting system that not only protects steel and alloy wheels, but protects steel belts. Outside contaminants entering through a wound can cause steel belts to rust and plies to separate. Ultraseal prevents this from occurring. Without Ultraseal protection, outside contaminants can destroy valuable casings.
- Retards Dry Rot and Casing DegradationUltraseal’s proprietary formulation contains ingredients that retard dry rot and aging from within the tire, which increases the life of any tubeless tire casing.
- Works in All WeatherUltraseal’s operating temperatures under normal conditions range from -40 to 200+ F
- Lasts The Life of The TireUltraseal contains Thixogel, the results of a proprietary process that protects the sealant against heat and provides the ability to perform effectively for the legal tread life of the tire.
- Will Not Void Tire Manufacturer’s WarrantyUltraseal holds documentation from major tire manufacturers stating that Ultraseal’s chemical composition is completely compatible with all tire components.
