Video: How sealants protect tyres and reduce vehicle downtime
Excessive heat build-up within tyres operating below the right pressure is the biggest cause of tyre failure. The heat increases the tyre’s rolling resistance and drag along the road surface which can have an impact on the overall vehicle’s fuel consumption over a period of time. Furthermore, punctures and blowouts cause tyre related accidents, which lead to vehicle and equipment downtime.
To prevent machines from becoming inactive for repairs due to tyre failures, companies that own massive fleets, such as Bee’ah, use tyre sealants to ensure extended mobility in the event of punctures and reduce overall tyre expenditure.
