Don't Plug It, Fug-It
What is FUG-IT? Saves Lives? Saves Money?
FUG-IT is a South African manufactured, Mono-Ethylene Glycol base liquid Tyre Sealant that is installed via the valve of the tyre. The tyre sealant consists of three major categories: Liquid carriers, Filling agents and Bonding Adhesives.
1) Carrier: Mono Ethylene Glycol combined with various thickeners and chemicals to form a consistent evenly spread, protective layer of tyre sealant, on the inside tread part of tyre casing.
2) Fillers: Clays, Natural Fibers and Rubber Grouting. This combination is what forms a permanent flexible plug in the event of a penetration by foreign object, similar to a tubeless plug used by tyre fitment centers to repair a puncture.
3) Adhesives and Curing Agents: a combination of hardening chemicals are used to assist and to cure the flexible plug. This allows the continuous mending during the journey while in transit.
How Does Fugit Work?
Fug-It is installed quickly and easily through the valve stem. The average installation is just a few minutes per tyre!
When the vehicle is driven, the fluid action of the sealant causes the entire inside tread surface area of the tyre to be coated with Fug-It evenly. The thixotropic properties in Fug-it allow the sealant to attach itself to the inner casing of the tyre. Due to centrifugal forces Fug-it suspends itself to this area whilst 10% of the applied amount, continuously patrols the covered area, ready to act and to repair any occurring puncture.
It’s that simple. The tyre is now protected from any puncture or other leaks for the remaining legal life of the tyre!
