What is PunctureSafe?
PunctureSafe is a family of products that are unique in the market. They prevent tyre deflation by sealing punctures as they happen. The products are designed to last the life of the tyre and will endure multiple punctures without noticeable tyre pressure loss.
How does it work?
Once applied to the tyre via the valve stem, the PunctureSafe gel will self-distribute across the rotating wheel, balancing through centrifugal force, coating the inside of the tyre with a protective barrier. There’s a video here of BBC’s Tomorrow’s World testing the product back in early 2000’s just as this revolutionary product hit the market. The depth of the object- penetration is irrelevant to the efficacy of the products ability to seal punctures as they happen.
There are 4 formulations of the PunctureSafe family of products, each designed for a specific type of vehicle, speed or terrain. Technical certificates, Safety Data Sheets and other technical information is available under the ‘Calculate Here’ item on the above menu. For ease of reference I’ve listed the 4 grades of product here

A welcome from us
Thank you for browsing our site. I hope that we have included everything that you need to satisfy your curiosity. In the event that there is something missing, please get in touch to discuss and we’ll update or clarify where needed.
The PunctureSafe products have been designed, developed and manufactured by a team in Exeter. The former ICI chemists established PunctureSafe UK in the early 2000’s and have continued to guide and develop both the products and their presence on a world-stage. PunctureSafe UK is a family-run business and their products are trademarked and patented. These products are unique in the marketplace and a cost-effective solution for puncture prevention.
PunctureSafe South Wales is owned by Rachel and the day-to-day management is conducted by myself, Lee. We are also a family unit and cover sales and installations across the South Wales region under licence from PunctureSafe UK.
This is an exciting time for us as we develop the brand through promotion and alliances with key sector leaders. We’ll be attending many events over the coming months and will be inviting the public to come and try to puncture our tyres (we’ll supply the safety gear).
We chose PunctureSafe UK as a brand of products to get behind following a visit to their Exeter manufacturing facility and meeting the team of genuinely lovely people. The chemistry behind the products is fascinating and we felt that all of that information should be present on the website should you, the reader, wish to delve a little more deeply into the products. For those that don’t want the tech-talk, it’s easy enough to avoid (we hope!).
So, welcome to PunctureSafe South Wales. Feel free to call or email us with any questions or comments.
Safe driving!

Our Company Profile
PunctureSafe South Wales is a proud franchisee and licensed supplier of the PunctureSafe UK range of products across the South Wales area. We can supply DIY installation kits for cycles, cars, vans etc., but we also offer a full installation service if required.
For our commercial customer, larger 20 litre products are available for your employed works/maintenance crews to install. Full training and on-going support is provided without charge.
Our goal for the next 12 months, late 2024 into late 2025, is to attend as many suitable shows as possible in order to demonstrate the products. We have our own tyres filled with the products and we’ll be offering you the opportunity to drive 6 inch nails and bradawls into the tyres in an attempt (futile) to deflate them. It’s entertaining, we promise.
We are preparing a social media campaign across multiple platforms, so look out for PunctureSafe and please let us know if there are any questions that you have regarding the products, us, or the business.
A recent exhibition (video below)
PunctureSafe UK were proud to be invited to exhibit on the Speedy Hire PLC stand to demonstrate our sealant to Speedy Hire suppliers and customers. The HGV tyre above had a 15mm diameter spike hammered into it over 100 times a day and did not suffer any loss of air pressure.
