DuraSeal Technology - How it Works
Here's How it Works.
When a nail puncture occurs, DuraSeal Technology – a yellow, gel-like rubber compound – instantly surrounds the nail and seals the tread puncture. Built into the crown of the tire, the sealant protects the part of the tire where punctures most often occur.
It can seal up to a one-quarter inch tread puncture and it can do it again and again without the tire needing to be repaired or the sealant needing to be re-applied.
- *Seals up to 1/4 inch tread punctures only. Does not seal sidewall punctures.
The More Efficient Way to Retread.
Solvent free and nonflammable, DuraSeal Technology also eliminates the threat of chamber fires during the retreading process. It's easy-to-see yellow color helps to highlight puncture locations. And it doesn’t need to be removed when a worn tire finally needs to be retreaded.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership.
Clear cost savings is what it all comes down to. With DuraSeal Technology, fleets can eliminate all the costs associated with aftermarket sealants – the cost of initial application, the cost of cleaning out old sealant and re-applying new sealant, as well as the cost of disposal. Plus, there’s no mess, wheel cleaning or need to find the right retreader. No repair. No labor. No mess. No downtime for tire repair. Any way you look at it, a fleet comes out ahead with DuraSeal Technology. Tires last longer and time-to-replacement is extended. And with tire costs in the top three expenditures for fleets, just think what that can do for your bottom line.

Test Results Speak for Themselves.
Measured against aftermarket sealants for puncture-sealing efficiency, tire longevity and fewer repairs, DuraSeal Technology proved superior. In tests against tires with no sealant, tires with DuraSeal Technology remained in service much longer because they didn’t need to be taken off the job for puncture repairs.*
