  • High performance sealant composition for tire repair
    Patent number: 10208231
    Abstract: A high performance sealant for repairing punctures in tires includes a highly filtered natural rubber latex, an ultra-fine inorganic powder, a polyamide suspension, and an antifreeze agent that includes water and at least one of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. The high performance sealant can readily pass through a valve stem of a tire without removing the core and seal, and provides a strong and durable sealing of the puncture.
    Type: Grant

  • High performance environmentally friendly sealant composition for tire repair
    Patent number: 9963620
    Abstract: An environmentally friendly puncture sealing composition is provided which includes natural rubber latex, suitably high filtered natural rubber latex having a controlled particle size, and an aqueous antifreeze agent that includes water, glycerin and propylene glycol. The aqueous antifreeze agent has a viscosity profile similar to common ethylene glycol-based antifreeze agents, but is free of ethylene glycol. The puncture sealing composition avoids the environmental hazards of ethylene glycol, and is effective at temperatures of ?30° C. and lower.
