Don't Plug It, Fug-It
What is Fug-It?
Fug-It is a proactive tyre sealant and tyre life enhancer. Fug-It is a Glycol based liquid that when installed will provide full protection against air loss for the legal life of the tyre! Fug-it repairs tread punctures and extends the life of a tyre by maintaining tyre pressure, therefore reducing uneven wear by up to 15% and making the tyre more economical! Saves fuel by maintaining the correct pressure and therefore reducing the running costs!
How does Fug-It work?
The tyre pressure within the tyre forces the sealant through the punctured hole, as the tyre rotates and strikes the road surface, the hole is stretched open allowing polyethylene chips and fibres to enter and form a permanent flexible seal, plugging the affected area whilst in transit!
Will Fug-It seal sidewall punctures?
No! Fug-It will only temporarily seal the sidewall, as the sidewall of the tyre flexes too much and this does not allow Fug-It to cure correctly! If this occurs, the tyre should be replaced!
Does Fug-It create a hard plug in the tread?
No, the seal is designed to be flexible due to the tyre being flexible and if the plug was hard, leakage will occur when the tyre rotates and flexes!
Must an intrusive object be removed from the tyre?
Yes always! Fug-It will seal around the object, but as the tyre rotates, movement occurs, making the hole larger and therefore Fug-It will only seal temporarily! If the object is a screw, unscrew it, as yanking it out will only damage the steel belt within the tyre! The vehicle should be driven after the object has been removed, allowing the Fug-It to spread evenly and create a seal!
Will Fug-It seal tyres with inner tubes?
Yes, Fug-It has a 80% success rate in tyres with inner tubes! However, the intrusive object will have to be removed or the object could tear the inner tube as the tyre rotates. If this happens, the repair will be temporary and the tube will need to be repaired or replaced!
Will Fug-It chemically react with the tyre?
No, Fug-It is chemically inert. Depending on the risk factors and usage, it may have to be topped up from time to time!
Is Fug-It water dispersible?
Yes it is, since there is no chemical bonding of Fug-It to the tyre, it can be easily removed from the tyre by spraying the inside of the tyre and simply washing it out.
Is Fug-It affected by extreme temperatures?
No, Due to Fug-it being Glycol based, allows Fug-It to operate under extreme temperatures.
Will Fug-It block the tyre valve?
Occasionally, a polyethylene chip will tumble into the valve area creating a blockage! When this occurs, remove the connector of the pump from the valve, permit a short blast of air to clear the blockage or alternatively use a paper clip to clear the blockage, then re-attach the connector and continue installation.
Will Fug-It rust the inner rim or tyre valve?
No! Fug-It contains an anti-corrosive agent which prevents corrosion and rust!
