PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RIM GUARD is a multipurpose additive that prolongs tyre life by functioning as a corrosion inhibitor, tyre coolant, sealant and leak detector.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- RIM GUARD contains an effective corrosion inhibitor which eliminates rusting of rims which saves in cleaning times after stripping and reduces the incidence of blocked valves.
- RIM GUARD acts as a coolant and transfers heat thereby increasing tyre life and performance.
- RIM GUARD increases tyre life as it protects against wear, separation and penetration damage. All of these incidents increase when tyres under inflated or overheat.
- RIM GUARD identifies air leaks minimising time spent on maintaining correct tyre pressure.
- RIM GUARD increases tyre life as it promotes an effective seal on the rim.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RIM GUARD can be added to tyre prior to mounting or pumped into inflated tyres.
Recommended quantities per tyre are:

50/80 x 57 | 67/50 x 51 | 64 |
The suggested rates ensure that adequate protection is provided from rust, corrosion, oxidisation cooling & load sealing.
For severely damaged rims, extreme operating conditions or badly rusted rims the quantity may need to be increased up to 50% more.
