• What is "BEST" ?
BEST" Tyre Protection Sealant a resin, containing rubber crumbs and micro fibers, which PROTECTS the tyres of all vehicles from:1. Holes of certain diameter 2. Loss of air 3. Increase of temperature 4. Imbalance 5. Failure of Retread • What is new in the secret formula of BEST? Which are the advantages compared to other sealants in the market?BEST is the only product in the market combining both fibres and rubber crumbs in big quantities. Most of the sealants in the market contain either crumbs or fibre with a very small quantity of rubber dust. The advantage of our product is that fibres create strong patches and rubber crumbs seal bigger holes. The difficult part in our production is to maintain equal dispersion of fibres and rubber crumbs in the liquid • Why is it important to maintain equal dispersion of fibres and crumbs?The reasons why all substances should be equally distributed into the liquid are many but can be split in two groups: a. Dispersion in calm. (in the pail) b. Dispersion in motion. (in the wheel) It is very difficult to keep materials of different specific gravity equally suspended into a liquid. Fibres and rubber crumbs have much different specific gravity (weight/volume) but also much more difference in weight/total surface of the molecule. In this characteristic the molecule difference is enormous significant, since the fibre is extremely fin and the rubber is chunky. As a result of the above the solution will split after some idle time. So when you pump into the tyre, you will pump more quantity of rubber or more quantity of fibre depending if you pump when the pail is completely full or half full or almost empty. This makes the liquid not functioning properly. Coming to the function into the tyre, if the molecular forces are not able to keep the substances in position, the liquid will split and brake down. As a result you will see in old tyres with older generation of sealant, some black "water". This black liquid cannot function as a sealant any more, so after a short time it is useless. • Which is the strongest marketing point of your product?BEST will protect any tubeless tyre in the market. But our main target is the huge heavy duty tyres in earthmoving, mining, quarrying and lifting industries. In these industrial huge tyres, our strongest point is that BEST seals all leakages coming from the rims, the o-rings and the natural internal pores of rubber. Recently, cheap production tyres are in the market, having many air leaking problems. We are proud that the reaction of the market has shown 100% success in this point. •Can "BEST" be installed to all vehicles ?Yes. There are two types of "BEST" product, so that it can deal with the needs of all vehicles, on road and off road. 1. "BEST" ENFORCED , to be used for heavy earth moving machines, construction machines, heavy and light trucks, trailers, semi trailers, motorcycles etc. 2. "BEST" FAST VEHICLES, to be used for light and fast vehicles like cars, vans, pick-ups, SUVs etc. . • How is "BEST" installed ?Installation of the product is very simple. "BEST" is injected in the tyre through the valve with a pump which we provide. It is not necessary to take the rim out of the vehicle or disassembly the tyre from the rim • How much does "BEST" costThe price depends on the type of product to be used. Retail prices will be quoted by your local distributor. World wide it is 15 Euro per liter. Wholesale prices can be quoted after we discuss the possibility of a cooperation. Please kindly communicate with us How much does a pump cost ?There are three types of pumps : 1. 90ml Pump. Each full stroke provides 90ml of product. The piston is short and suitable for our 20 liter drums. The hose and the nozzle are flexible and it is suitable for motorcycle tyres. It costs 50 Euros per piece 2. 100ml Pump. Each full stroke provides 100ml of product. The piston length is suitable for our 30 liter drums. The hose is flexible but the nozzle is metal having a chock and a vane at its end. This pump is suitable for all vehicle except motorcycles. If you need 100ml pump suitable for motorcycles, we can provide with a flexible nozzle. It costs 50 Euros per piece 3. 200ml Pump. Each full stroke provides 200ml of product. The piston is long and suitable for our 30 liter drums. The pump is equipped with a flexible hose with metal nozzle, vane and chock. It is to be used for providing BEST in tyres of big volume where a big quantity is necessary. It costs 100 Euros per piece • Finally is it for my interest to apply "BEST" in my tyres and pay for its cost ?Definitely YES. For the businessman the cost of material which includes the application in the tyres, will pay not only the direct cost of repairs but mainly the cost of leassure of the machine and the operator while waiting for a repair. For the driver of a car or a motorcycle the cost of BEST will pay for his safety and s comfort while driving. • A huge tyre would need many litters of BEST. Will this investment payback?It is quite true that the quantity needed is relevant to the size of the tyre. Please see the chart of BENEFITS The last column of this chart is to be filled with the cost that the businessman would have if he did not use our product. Unfortunately we cannot make this calculation since the cost is differently appreciated. After all the fields of this column are filled, the addition has to be compared with the total invested cost. According to some clients the rate is more than 10 to 1 on the favor of BEST. Please see testimonials. • How is "BEST" packed ?""BEST" is packed in four different containers : 1. 20 liter drums. In this drum you can use only the 90ml pump. The product and the pump are suitable for motorcycles. 2. 30 drums . In this drum you can use 100 or 200 ml pump. 3. 200 litre barel for wholesales 4. 1000 liter container for wholesalers and exporters. . • Which are the main Technical specification of "BEST" ?The main physical specification of "BEST" are: - White color with black specks of rubber crumbs - Rust inhibitor for the protection of the rims and tyre metal belts - It did not freeze at temperatures of -37C during the tests and did not boil at + 140C in functioning conditions (120psi) - It always remains in liquid condition within the space of the tyre, it does not react chemically with the rubber and it does not stick neither on the rim nor on the tyre - Water soluble which makes it easy to remove from the tyres - Very good conductor of heat and electricity - The sealing to be created, has the same elasticity as the tyre, so it does not dry up and has the same rate of wear as the tyre - It has no effect on the skin and is easily removed with water (See MSDS ) - It is environmentally friendly and its solid waste is to be treated like old tyres according to the local environmental law - The mixture of resins that it consists of, is thixotropic and colloidal. . • What does thixotropic and colloidal means ?Thixotropic is a liquid which decreases its viscosity when forces like Centrifigular ones are applied on its molecules. That means that as the wheel spins up and velocity is increased, the resin becomes more and more fluid. Colloidal is a material which becomes increasingly sticky as the temperature increases. As a result of these two values of the product, "BEST" becomes more fluid and increasingly sticky at working conditions of the wheel therefore it is very effective to create permanent patches. • The patches to be created are permanent or is it necessary to repair the tyre with a solid patch ?The patches are permanent. If the wound is very big, out of the Guarantee limits of "BEST" then it will be necessary to use a solid patch enforced with armory. "BEST" seals the rubber of the tyre. By no means it will repair or replace broken metal belts or any kind of armory. • Does "BEST" permit checking the surface of the rubber inside the tyre and repair by classic methods ?Absolutely Yes. "BEST" permits any kind of check and any kind of repair without been removed. Therefore it is in conformity with the directive of the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization E.T.R.T.O. It has been reported that when a certain tyre was opened for an inspection, it had 25 wounds in it, sealed by "BEST" . Reported by Tyre repairs Papadopoulos phn: + 30 210 5315006 • Is "BEST" used as a prevention or as a repair ?"BEST" is designed to function as prevention. It is a protection sealant placed in the tyre in advance, before any damage occurs. It is not designed to be used as a patch after the puncture. Application of "BEST" in tyres already punctured has shown impressive results and has been proven in practice that the material is sealing punctures of the same size as if it was placed before the damage. If someone is going to use "BEST" as a repair after the puncture, he must first inflate the tyre, then turn the wheel so that the puncture is down-wards, then install "BEST" in the tyre and wait for some time so that the material arrives on the puncture. Then he must take the nail out of the tyre and store it with the wound down-wards. Some strokes with a hammer on the puncture area will help rubber to be sealed. •Will "BEST" seal leakages near by the rim or even leakages from the o-ring or even the wedge ring of the rim?"BEST" will seal any leakage caused by porous in the rubber. A hole or porous in the metal mass of the tyre, has never been sealed permanently. Sealing of leakages at the edge of the rim , leakages from the o-ring or from the wedge ring have been reported from our clients. Up to the moment statistics show that "BEST" has a 100% success in sealing the above mentioned leakages, provided there will be enough time for the sealant to reach the leakage. It has been observed that complete sealing of leakages some took two or even three shifts time of the machines. During this time the operator of the machine was obliged to check the tyre pressure and add some air, but still the machine was working without any significant problem. Such applications for sealing hidden porous or leakages of any kind have been reported by very big companies in the sectors of construction, cement production, concrete production, marble mining, bauxite mining etc. • Is the liquid of the sealant, some type of Coolant for Tyres ?YES, definitely. The sealant is also colloidal, meaning that it becomes better glue as it becomes warmer and warmer. This means that the liquid is heat friendly, thus it absorbs the thermal strength and the tyre functions cooler. This is extremely significant not only for safety reasons, but also because by this way the lifetime of the tyre is extended. • What is the environmental impact of BEST Tyre Protection Sealant ?The product is completely friendly to human and environment. Please see our MSDS for more information. When you change tyres, just leave it into the old tyre. After some days under the sun and in open air, it will become solid like a gum made out of rubber and environmentally you can treat it exactly as the local legislation for old tyres. • Can I change BEST from my tyres ?Definitely yes. You can remove BEST from your tyres, washing it with plain water. But you do not need to change it. Our product will last as long as the legal lifetime of the tyre. BEST is placed once in the lifetime of a tyre and remains in it for the whole time in liquid form. • Can I remove the liquid from an old tyre and apply it in the next one ?No, this not advisable. BEST seals all very small and fine pores of the tyre. In order to do so some substances of the liquid are absorbed by these small pores. As a result the liquid will function in this tyre for the whole life time BUT you cannot take this liquid from this tyre and put in the next tyre, as you cannot remove the substances that are absorbed into the rubber mass • Will the liquid component of BEST get dry after some time ?The liquid never gets dry into the tyre or into the pail, if the pail is covered. In open air it will get dry after some days, depending on temperature, humidity etc. If the liquid gets dry it does not function • If BEST is applied before puncture will it get dry? or it will remain liquid in the tires ? ?BEST will never get dry, neither in the tyre (nor in the pail) for as long as the lifetime of the tyre. Please note that the resin does not get dry even in the patch. Solid pieces are already included in the solution. These pieces are rubber crumbs and fibres which are pushed into the hole and create the patch. No need for further solidification. In case that the product gets dry then it becomes like rubber and it does not operate anymore. The only reason to make the product get dry is to leave it in open air. After some days in open air, the product will become like a gum made out of rubber. In this case you will treat the solidified product according to environmental regulations and legislation of your country, applied to old tyres. • Which is the Viscosity of the liquid ?In the pail and under normal conditions BEST is viscous liquid. Please note that viscosity depends on temperature. The higher temperature, the more fluid or less viscous it becomes. Also please note that the liquid is THIXOTROPIC, meaning that it has this viscosity only when the wheel is not rotating. When it starts rotating, shear forces lower down the viscosity, so the liquid becomes more fluid and covers all the internal surface of the tyre. • How many liters are necessary for each tyre ?Quantity depends directly on the size of the tyre or the inside surface that has to be covered. For this reason our engineers have edited lists with all tyre sizes divided in sectors, concerning the use of a tyre. Lists are available to all our customers. If you need to know the quantity for your own tyre please type the first number of the size and choose the suitable tyre from the list to appear. • How many ml of product are injected per each stroke of the pump?The pump is injecting 100 ml per stroke •Is it necessary to apply all the recommended quantity ?Absolutely. Our engineers have calculated the internal surface of all known sizes of tyres and the volume injected is adequate to create an internal layer. Correct operation of the product DOES NOT "suffer" from bigger quantity. Never the less it is very sensitive in smaller quantity. If the worker injects the exact number of strokes, as required by the lists, the operation is safe. If you want to increase the strokes a little bit, it is good. There is no harm. On the other hand if the worker does not count correctly the number of strokes, or if the strokes are not full, then there maybe a problem, since the protection may fail because there is not enough product into the tire. "Full strokes" mean that the worker must lift the piston completely up and then push it completely down. The most common mistake is that the worker often does not lift the piston completely up. This is why we absolutely recommend a very easy instruction to the worker: Lift up till you hear a sound (tack) and then push down till you hear again the sound (tack). • What is the exact meaning of the numbers describing the size of a tyre ?It is a little bit complicated since there are many systems for sizing tyres. We found the BEST explanation in the website of Yokohama: www.yokohamatires.com and copy it for your reference.
•How is the tyre constructed? What is the metal armory, which provides the strength of the tyre ? ?The easiest way to explain the construction of the tyre is an image. We have used again the information provided by YOKOHAMA tyres and we copied the following picture from their website: www.yokohamatire.com for your reference. 
• Is BEST to be used as a protection or as a repair for an already punctured tyre? ?BEST Tyre Sealant is protection. So the liquid must be applied before the damage in order to prevent losses coming from a flat tyre. But BEST will certainly operate as a repair too. Application of the product in tyres already punctured has shown impressive results and has been proven in practice that the material is sealing punctures of the same size as if it was placed before the damage. If someone is going to use "BEST" as a repair after the puncture, he must first inflate the tyre, then turn the wheel so that the puncture is down-wards, then install "BEST" in the tyre and wait for some time so that the material arrives on the puncture. Then he must take the nail out of the tyre and store it with the wound down-wards. Some strokes with a hammer or a mallet on the puncture area will help rubber to be sealed. It is also very often that big tyres suffer from leakages from the rim side, therefore the damage is there. In this case just inject BEST into the tyre, refill the normal pressure and let the machine work. The product will cure the damage as the time passes. Important Notice "BEST" seals holes in the rubber. It will never restore the strength of broken belts or armory of the tyre. Nails, screws or thorns, do not break metal parts or very rarely they might break a few. In case that the same size of wound is caused by a flat piece like a knife or a stone, the possibility of braking metal armory is much increased, therefore an armed patch is necessary to be use. Even in this case, "BEST" will help by delaying air loss. "BEST" is compatible with the European Directive E.T.R.T.O and permits inspection and repair of the inner side of the tyre without being removed. |
