PunctureSafe seals minor punctures and safely manages larger ones to prevent dangerous blowouts and ensure reliable driving.

PunctureSafe is globally trusted in various tires, enhancing safety without damage; Hyper-cars and those fitted with sound insulation will require a quick call to us to confirm suitability.

PunctureSafe's unique sealant not only protects steel belts from rust and external contaminants but also features exclusive curing properties.

PunctureSafe extends tire life and retreadability, increasing resilience and reducing costs, with certification from professional retread companies.

Yes! PunctureSafe will seal punctures in both tube and tubeless tyres as long as there is rubber recovery and it is not a dangerous puncture. A tube is very unreliable. The tube is basically made of rubber and synthetics. The wall thickness of a tube is not uniform and rubber content is very critical in terms of elasticity and rubber recovery. A tube that does not contain a sufficient amount of natural rubber cannot recover (close up) after sustaining a puncture. It is critical that there be rubber recovery to assure a positive secure seal. by installing PunctureSafe into a tube, the problem of punctures can be reduced. The seal in a tube is not permanent. Tubes squirm inside a tyre at high speed if the puncturing object is left in the tyre and tube, it may rip the tube. Then even PunctureSafe may not able to help. We recommend that nails be removed on a routine basis and the tyres air pressure be maintained at maximum PSI to reduce the squirming. When a tube is punctured, the size of the puncture in the tube may be much larger than the actual puncturing object; also tubes are very susceptible to ripping.

No! PunctureSafe is a preventative maintenance tyre additive and was designed primarily to be utilised prior to a tyre receiving damage from puncturing objects and/or interior damage caused from operating tyres under inflated. After installing the vehicle is driven a minimum of 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 km), however it is not imperative to drive the vehicle immediately. For PunctureSafe to perform its preliminary functions, the tyre and PunctureSafe must go through an initial conditioning period, at which time PunctureSafe will have coated a good percentage of the inner surfaces of the tyre. When a puncture occurs, the PunctureSafe coating encapsulates the puncturing object. When the puncturing object is removed or ejected, PunctureSafe is drawn into the puncture by the capillary action of the escaping air, the puncture closes up (rubber recovery) thereby trapping the PunctureSafe seal. The seal cures and becomes non water-soluble to protect the inner structure from outside contaminants. The PunctureSafe seal is only as strong as the tyre and can not hide or mask a dangerous puncture.

Yes! In-house testing has proven without a doubt that PunctureSafe has the ability to eliminate porosity and air migration. Although PunctureSafe will maintain correct air pressure, we recommend that visual inspection be performed on a per trip basis and complete tyre examinations and air pressure inspections be performed at scheduled services.

Yes! In-house tests have shown that PunctureSafe will retard aging within the inner structure of a tyre. Testing has also proven that PunctureSafe will reduce heat and eliminate migrating air which is directly related to increased tyre and casing life.

Yes & No! However, it is important to realise that PunctureSafe cannot hide or mask a dangerous puncture. Sidewalls are much thinner than the rest of the tyre so even though there is some rubber recovery because of the flexing the tyre will lose air to some degree. If there is no damage then it could be possible to seal permanently but it could also be the case that even with severe damage to the sidewall a controlled deflation will take place allowing the driver to remove the vehicle from a dangerous location. PunctureSafe is used in many countries to allow the vehicle to travel many miles after the tyres have sustained many bullet holes to the sidewall.

Yes! PunctureSafe UK warranties PunctureSafe Tyre Life Extender/sealer for the legal tread life of the tyre. PunctureSafe has never failed to provide tyre protection. PunctureSafe's proprietary formulation enables the sealant to withstand heat, sheer and stress resulting from centrifugal force emanating from a rotating tyre/rim. PunctureSafe's abilities and performance is not diminished with speed, distance or time

No! PunctureSafe is thixotropic and does not separate. In fact in-depth in-house testing has proven that it continues to remain in a thixotropic state and does not separate or ball up. Some tyre sealant marketers state that their sealant needs to be stirred or mixed prior to installing into a tyre. Their statement does not substantiate reliability; Once the sealant is installed into a tyre, the tyre/rim assembly acts as a mixing machine and will keep their product properly mixed. False! A spinning tyre/rim assembly creates centrifugal forces and will readily and permanently separate the solids from the liquids. Therefore this type of tyre sealant will become ineffective, in a short period of time.

No! Because of our specialist equipment, only a little air will be lost during installation, usually a couple of pounds, which can be corrected upon completion. The only exception to this, is the DIY bottle, were it will be necessary to deflate the tyre fully.

Yes! PunctureSafe UK certifies that when stored in factory sealed original containers, out of direct sunlight PunctureSafe may be stored for at least 5 years.

No! PunctureSafe cannot create an out of balance situation. If the tyre and rim are properly balanced prior to installing PunctureSafe and neither is out of round, then there will not be a change in performance. PunctureSafe does not balance tyres or rims. If a problem exists then PunctureSafe may aggravate the situation, which acts as a safety warning alerting the driver that there is definitely a tyre, rim and/or suspension problem.

Yes! PunctureSafe's formulation is fully compatible with all components in any tyre.

No! PunctureSafe's rust and corrosion inhibiting system continuously works to prevent rust or corrosion. PunctureSafe cannot eliminate existing rust or corrosion, but will neutralise it and prevent any additional damage.

Yes! PunctureSafe does not contain any adhesive or chemicals that would alter the tyre's integrity. PunctureSafe is totally water-soluble in its liquid state and even when cured it can easily be removed from the interior of any tyre. All major repairs are performed by simply wiping the puncture area with a damp cloth, then wipe dry and repair.

No! PunctureSafe is a viscous gel-like liquid that does not flow like water. Approximately 85% of the minimum required application amount coats the inner surface of the tyre. The remaining 15% is considered the reserve, which does settle to the bottom only when a tyre is stationary. When dismounting a tyre containing PunctureSafe, there is not enough product collected at the bottom that would allow it to splash out. If the mechanic breaks the bead prior to releasing all the air from the tyre, the PunctureSafe around the bead/rim attempts to prevent the air from escaping, resulting in a small amount of PunctureSafe blowing out, as the bead breaks away from the rim. To prevent this from happening, release all of the air pressure prior to breaking the bead. Once a mechanic understands the simple basics on handling PunctureSafe there is never a problem.

Yes & No! PunctureSafe seals punctures measured by the size of the puncturing object, not the size of the puncture. Regardless of how small a puncture may be, if the puncturing object has extensively damaged the tyres integrity, the puncture will continue to bleed air and PunctureSafe. This is a safety factor designed into the proprietary PunctureSafe formulation. PunctureSafe's High Speed Grade will seal punctures caused by puncturing objects up to and including 6mm in diameter and our Medium Speed Grade will seal punctures caused by objects up to 15mm. PunctureSafe's Extra Heavy Duty Slow Speed Grade for slow moving off road vehicles will seal punctures caused by puncturing objects from 10mm in diameter in small tyres like you would find on golf buggies, 20mm in size on farm tractors and can be up to to 30mm on giant tyres, it all depends on the size and quality of the tyre.

Yes & No! The Tyre Industry claims that "permanent repair" refers to a tyre repair that is permanently attached to the puncture area by means of adhesives and/or vulcanisation. Although PunctureSafe's seals are positive secure seals that remain airtight for the life of the tyre, PunctureSafe is not a glue or adhesive. The proprietary formulation is designed to bleed air and PunctureSafe if a tyre has received major structural damage, therefore for safety reasons the permanency of a PunctureSafe seal is contingent on the integrity of the tyre.

Yes! One of PunctureSafe's proprietary attributes is the ability to cure in a puncture and become non water-soluble. This phenomenon is how PunctureSafe permanently prevents corrosion on steel belts as it protects against outside moisture and contaminants from leaching into the puncture as the vehicle is driven.

Yes! In most cases, PunctureSafe is better than a patch, the reason being is that PunctureSafe is a preventative. A patch is a repair that is performed after the tyre has gone flat and in most cases has been driven flat for some distance. Driving on a flat radial tyre even for a short distance will create extensive internal damage that is irreversible and normally goes unnoticed by the repair person. Preventative maintenance is always better and safer than an after the fact repair. This enormous safety enhancement is a major factor in utilising PunctureSafe Tyre Life Extender/sealer as preventative maintenance. A punctureSafe seal is better than a patch because a patch can fail due to heat but a PunctureSafe seal benefits from heat

No! PunctureSafe chemistry transforms the formulation into a unique gel state that seems to defy gravity, allowing it to cling to more of the inner surface of the tyre/rim. There are no adhesives in the formula and PunctureSafe will not cause chemical changes to the tyre. This ability to coat more of the inner surface of the tyre is one of PunctureSafe UK's closely guarded proprietary secrets.

No! PunctureSafe will not freeze once installed inside the tyre when operating a vehicle in cold climates.

No! All of PunctureSafe's professional application equipment have been designed for "ease of use". To install PunctureSafe, into tyres of an average passenger car or light truck requires less than 2 minutes per tyre, while a large truck averages 5 minutes per tyre.

Yes! In order for PunctureSafe to establish a good coating throughout the inner surface of the tyre and have a 15% reserve, it required that PunctureSafe's technical calculate the total inner surface of all tyre/rim combinations and the amount of PunctureSafe required per tyre/rim assembly.

Yes! Caution - when fitting Puncturesafe you may cause the sensor to be coated and thus affect its performance. We recommend that once the installation is complete you inflate the tyre to the correct pressure (with the valve core not in situ) then remove the airline to get a powerful blast of air that will clean any sealant left in the valve.

We supply a tyre sealant for sealing punctures in the tyre of a vehicle, and because Tyre pressure monitoring systems can be fickle and prone to failure with or without a sealant present, we advise that you take a cautious approach when fitting our puncture prevention treatment, we advise that the installation is done with the utmost of knowledge. Problems with tyre pressure monitoring systems in conjunction with the installation of a tyre sealant/puncture prevention treatment is extremely small compared with the millions of tyre sealant installations carried out all over the world yearly.

Some ‘Direct’ TPMS have small-bore valves that will not allow regular sealant to enter. Puncturesafe UK recommends that you consult your vehicle manufacturer to check whether their internal TPMS system is sealant-friendly before fitting a puncture prevention treatment.

External ‘Indirect’ TPMS, that measure the speed of each wheel/tyre and use regular valves, are of course always puncture prevention treatment compatible.

Yes! Run flat tyres are expensive and have to be discarded after running flat, so it makes sense to protect them from Punctures.
