Cars and Motorhomes - Information about Ultraseal - Tyre Life Extender / Conditioner and Permanent Puncture Repairer

Dear Sirs,

We recently completed our second World Cup Rally in an old Citroen 2CV this time from Oxford to Athens.We routed across to Austria for hill climbs, Slovenia Croatia and Bosnia for some terrific off road racing on forest tracks. We then entered Albania, which has the roughest tarmac we have ever seen and then through mountain trails and sections of the Acropolis rally route in Greece. We then drove home through Italy and the French Alps to England. A round trip of some 8000 kilometres of which 5000 was under rally conditions.

During this time we started with new standard Firestone 4 ply tyres with the Puncturesafe treatment and never changed one tyre, or suffered any loss of pressure. During last years event we changed 3 tyres and none of them were suitable for future use. This year we have 4 tyres, which can still be used!

We think we were the only car on the Rally that didn’t have to change any tyres! We look forward to using Puncturesafe next year, as it seems to remove another hassle when you are competing against the clock in outlandish places. Well done.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Chance.

Dear Graham,

Sorry to be so long letting you know how we got on in our latest exploit. In January we travelled 8000 kms from Brooklands in Surrey down to Dakar in Senegal, West Africa. Again we had no punctures when all around us others were struggling with punctures caused by the conditions of heat, sharp stones, very prickly bushes and general debris.

That makes a total of over 20,000 kms completed with the help of Puncturesafe on 3 World Cup endurance rallies in our Citroen 2CV across most of North Africa, across Europe to Greece and down to West Africa. All credit to you and your product which makes our life so uncomplicated! Many thanks again.

Yours faithfully,

Simon & Liz Chance

Unsuspecting North East motorists are being warned of a hidden danger that could cost them thousands of pounds in repair bills. It is a potential pitfall for owners of four-wheel-drive vehicles, of whom there are more in this region than anywhere else in Britain.

The problem concerns the simple misfortune of getting a puncture, which affects tens of thousands of drivers in the region every year.If the partly-worn tyre is then replaced with a new one, the entire transmission system can be wrecked as a result, which could cost an incredible £5000 to repair.In the case of older vehicles, which are most at risk, the repairs could be more than the vehicle is actually worth.In extreme instances this means that a vehicle could become a financial write-off, simply because of a puncture.

This has come to light following a number of cases in which the common cause of mega-expensive transmission failures has been the recent replacement of a single tyre.Unless all four are replaced at the same time, there is a slight difference in their respective tread depths. Even though the difference in tread depth between a single new tyre and the other three is only a few millimetres, it means there is a critical difference between the diameters of the wheels, causing them to turn at fractionally-different speeds. This immediately puts a strain on all rotating parts in the transmission system, which can be even more pronounced when cornering. Eventually the system shatters and the vehicle grinds to a noisy halt.

In one instance the driver of a Volvo V70 R AWD automatic faced a £3,400 bill after his vehicle's transmission system shattered in this way.Volvo admitted there was no specific mention of the potential problem in the vehicle's handbook, and has agreed to pay two-thirds of the bill.

Now manufacturers plan to warn users of the hazard in the handbooks of all new 4WD vehicles.

However, there is no easy answer to the problem, because replacing all four tyres rather than just one will cost an average of £500.The only simple solution could be to replace the tyre with a part-worn one of identical tread depth - but it would be vital to get it from a reputable dealer or specialist.

The problem affects not only traditional 4WD off-road vehicles, but four-wheel-drive versions of conventional cars too, such as the Volvo estate.

The advantage of 4WD vehicles is that they give extra grip, which makes them especially suited to rural areas, and those prone to rain, snow and ice.

Sales of such vehicles have soared in recent years, and official figures show ownership is seven per cent higher in the North East than the national average.

Peace of Mind for You and Your Passsengers

Anyone who has had a high speed blow-out, knows what a dangerous experience it can be. It can happen without warning, making your vehicle impossible to handle and putting you and your passengers in extreme danger. Slow punctures are a major cause of blowouts and are usually very difficult to detect. Installing Puncturesafe in your tyres helps to ensure that you will not be placed in a potentially life threatening situation. A puncture is not only costly and inconvenient, but also dangerous. Puncturesafe prevents punctures by sealing them immediately as they happen, and creates a permanent seal for the legal lifetime of the tyre.

Under-Inflation

Poorly inflated tyres resist rolling and cause poor fuel consumption. They also heat up quickly and run hotter, wearing out 10% to 40% faster. Heat is the number one tyre killer. Puncturesafe assists in protecting tyres from devastating heat build up that is associated with friction caused by under-inflation and/or overloading. Puncturesafe contains specific ingredients that aid in conducting heat from the tyre by transmitting the additional heat to the rim, which is the tyres natural heat sink. This action results in a cooler inner tyre for any type of vehicle regardless of application. With under-inflated tyres you pay more for fuel and you lose your current tyre investment faster because of early replacement.

Permanent Puncture Seal

Unlike traditional preventatives or get you home products, this is not a foam. It is held in a liquid state, in small quantities within the tyre, offering no change in the handling of the vehicle. The compound is secret, however, an amount will penetrate the natural, slightly porous state of the rubber, achieving an almost perfect air retention state in the tyre, maintaining handling characteristics and flexibility. It also recognises the difference between the inside tread and wall of the tyre.

Once Puncturesafe has been installed into your tyres the need to regularly top up with air is reduced dramatically.

Puncturesafe is applied by an approved installer

One application lasts the legal lifetime of the tyre.

Taking just a few minutes to install through the valve, Puncturesafe remains liquid for the entire life of the tyre. By coating the inner surface giving your tyres a 2- 3mm thick liquid inner tube which maintains your tyre pressures, (making them last longer), while the synthetic fibres contained within the compound are on guard ready to deal with any motorist's worst fear THE PUNCTURE.

By giving your tyres a once only treatment of Puncturesafe, you will be giving yourself peace of mind, safety and security.

Puncturesafe has been tested and proven up to speeds of 150 mph. This is possible because Puncturesafe is water based and remains in its liquid form for the complete legal lifetime of the tyre, not breaking up under the shear forces generated at speed. The road use rating is a testament to the fact that Puncturesafe does not cause any balance problems due to its ability to work in harmony with your tyres. Puncturesafe’s water-soluble make up will enable the tyre to be removed in the normal fashion, as there are no adhesives contained within the compound. The product will also not clog up your valve so you can get air in and out as required. Puncturesafe will not mask or hide a dangerous punctureto your tyre. Part of the success of Puncturesafe is that it is designed to fail as well as work by allowing a controlled deflation of a tyre, which has received serious tyre damage.

How Puncturesafe operates

Puncture preventatives are best used in the pre-emptive mode. Puncturesafe is applied through the valve of the tyre. In a stationary vehicle the viscous liquid remains in place within the casing of the tyre at all times and does not pool in the bottom of the tyre casing.

At Puncturesafe, our number one priority is research and development. Our Research and Development department is constantly evaluating new and unusual Polymers from around the world. Through discoveries made in our R & D department, Puncturesafe has transformed from a simple tyre sealant into the technically advanced polymer gel that it is today, the world finest tyre life extender/conditioner and permanent puncture preventative.
