AASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS / DORMAGEN GERMANY: Arlanxeo has developed a rubber compound that can be used in the future to seal tires. This solution for so-called self-sealing tires replaces the spare wheel and also presents an alternative to a repair kit or run-flat tire. An appropriate rubber compound from Arlanxeo, which is applied to the interior of the vehicle tire, enables holes occurring in the tire to be automatically sealed, so the driver can continue driving.
The compound developed by Arlanxeo is applied to the interior of the tire. If, for example, a nail or other sharp object causes a hole in a tire, the rubber compound can seal the defect automatically. The tire is sealed immediately, regardless of the location and environment, while the car is moving.
Arlanxeo conducts the corresponding tests with various partners under real-life conditions. Once the tests have been successfully completed, the compound will be launched on the market in the course of 2018.
