Air-Seal 475-ml Bottle: Puncture Prevention System
(Previously Known as Bike Seal)
A unique premier tyre sealant and puncture prevention system.
It is now relaunched under a new label in a convenient 475-ml bottle. as a result of customer feedback and growing demand.
This product was first formulated in the early 1960s for NASA. to protect their spacesuits, where it was successfully used. It was then adopted by the US military in the early 1970s, having met the requirement to protect their tyres when shot! It was introduced and tested for UK military use. before entering service within the entire NATO force. It has been successfully used in conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where independent reports have been written as testament to its effectiveness.
MIRA has also extensively tested this same product. under a different label. prior to the formation of the Bike-Seal brand, bringing this product to wider markets with specialised knowledge and experience. Further independent testing by different organisations included “real-world” speed trials, whereby it was tested and approved for use within the UK’s ‘Blue Light Emergency Services’. It is the only such product to have been tested and authorised in this way.
This sealant is a unique puncture prevention system. unlike any other tyre sealant on the market. Its unrivalled technology is superior. providing a permanent prevention solution as part of safe tyre management for your motorbikes and all vehicles and is now widely used world-wide by major organisations and commercial vehicle fleets.

How it Works
HOW?
As the tyre rotates, the product spreads evenly over the inside surface.
The moment a penetration occurs, the air pressure in the tyre forces millions of fibre particles and fillers suspended either in ethylene or propylene glycol to interlock, which plugs the hole in the tread area, preventing any further air loss within one or two revolutions of the wheel.
This action is so rapid that the driver may not know a puncture has happened. Later, when the tyre is inspected, if the cause is still present, it can be removed.
When removed, the vehicle must be driven immediately to enable the sealant to re-seal.
Depending on the grade of sealant used, holes up to 30 mm (1¼ inches) can be repaired using this technology.
The stronger the fibres, the stronger the tyre repair. The strongest fibres are state-of-the-art synthetic fibres such as those used in tyre cords and bullet-proof vests.
Using a variety of fibres is also very important, especially in the relatively thin carcass of an ATV, golf buggy or lawn care equipment tyre.
The more varied the fibres in both length and degree of branching, the faster the seal forms and the more permanent the seal is.
Fillers
Once a strong plug is formed by the fibres, the final seal is provided by filler particles that lodge between the fibres to form an effective, airtight plug.
The use of these fillers is imperative for a high-performance sealant.
Suspension stability
The function of the liquid in the sealant formulation is to be the medium by which the fibres and fillers reach the area of the puncture in the tyre.
In some sealant formulations, the components may separate over a period of time when the tyre is inactive.
If separation does occur, such formulations will fail as tyre sealants.
Air-Seal high-performance sealants will not separate to ensure protection for the legal life of the tyre.
