A tire puncture is a common occurrence for those who prefer to travel on the road on four wheels. It is unlikely that it will be possible to insure a car against damage, but you can try to avoid trouble with the help of a reliable sealant. Some of them are poured into the wheels even before the puncture.
Necessary
Preventive sealant, repair sealant
Instructions
Step 1
Pour preventive sealant into the wheel ahead of time without waiting for damage. Depending on the manufacturer, this type of sealant can be suitable for both tube and tubeless tires. In addition to the fact that the preventive sealant "clogs" the hole formed after the puncture, it also prevents premature corrosion and decay of polymer and steel cords. And its constituent components are capable of providing a cooling effect.
Step 2
Use a repair sealant as an alternative to preventive maintenance. According to the book "All About Adhesives and Sealants for the Motorist", it is used to create the necessary tire pressure, which is required on the spot immediately after a puncture. The acrylic polymers included in its composition are instantly attached to the inner side of the tire, so this type of aerosol sealant can replace the pump on occasion. Although, of course, it is not worth giving up the pump altogether. Repair sealants have a good "immunity" to the temperature inside the wheel: they react at a low temperature and cool down during a rapid increase in heat.
