The consequences of an under-inflated tyre are:-
• Excessive flexing causing higher operating temperatures
• Reduction in resistance to cuts and tears
• Increased rolling resistance
• Tyre casing destruction
• Ply separation
• Poor road grip and blow out risk

The following figures have been released by the USA Authorities:
• 5lbs of under-inflation reduces tyre life by 28%
• 6lbs of under-inflation reduces tyre life by 38%
• 9lbs of under-inflation reduces tyre life by 52%

It needs to be stated that foremost the user should check regularly the tyre pressure of each tyre. Beyond that, OKO Puncture Free can assist in some way to ensure that tyres do not deflate due to puncturing objects. After all, a proportion of tyre deflation is due to slow punctures from puncturing objects that OKO Puncture Free can combat.

(2). Prevents Flat tyres.

One of the most impressive benefits of OKO Puncture Free is its ability to instantly and permanently seal punctures in the tyre tread area up to 7 mm in diameter - whilst the vehicle is in motion. In on road and trucking/ lorry operations, studies have shown that 93% of all punctures are caused by puncturing objects with a diameter of 3 mm or under.

When a puncture occurs, the centrifugal force within the tyre combined with air pressure, forces OKO Puncture Free into the puncturing hole. This forms the initial OKO Puncture Free seal. As the tyre continues to rotate, the flexing action pushes more and more OKO Puncture Free into the hole. This process occurs rapidly.

If a puncturing object remains in the tyre tread with the OKO Puncture Free seal around it, it is important to remove the puncturing object and drive the vehicle immediately after the removal of the puncturing object to facilitate the permanent sealing action. Within this process, OKO Puncture Free has the ability to seal rim and bead leaks which can be another reason of air pressure loss.

(3). Permits Retreads.

OKO Puncture Free seals and lubricates the inner line of a tyre. Tyre retreading is often limited by the life of the tyres inner liner?
OKO Puncture Free keeps a tyre in a? Like new condition? Longer, and this allows the casing to be re-treaded more often. OKO Puncture Free assists in making retreads last longer.

(4). Rust Corrosion Protection.

OKO Puncture Free prevents steel belt corrosion around the puncture wound which virtually eliminates one of the major causes of tyre separation.

(5). Safety and Security.

OKO Puncture Free offers peace of mind and security to an end road user.
Motorcycle punctures especially may lead to an out of control situation often leading to fatality or serious injury. By sealing a puncture at speed, these dangerous situations are avoided altogether.

OKO Puncture Free PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION

OKO is unique because it has attained independent product verification and endorsements from independent institutional technical product tests.

Through product effectiveness and product test procedures, OKO has attained product part numbers and endorsements from major vehicle manufacturers and other major organizations.

OKO has attained major corporate private brands.

OKO product is manufactured in accordance with a quality system prepared and written to conform with European Quality Standard - ISO 9002. In effect this means that the OKO Research and Development team have specified a given product formulation to the OKO production facility and due to the quality procedures instigated, every batch of OKO produced is in accordance with the standard specified.

OKO Puncture Free is "COSHH friendly". This relates to "The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health" regulations.

"COSHH friendly", means that any OKO user is not required to give special training to staff in respect of the handling and storage of the product.

OKO Puncture Free is non-hazardous and non-flammable.

The product may be freighted as air cargo without fear of problems.

Providing a solution to the puncture problem is our only business.

OKO Puncture Free is the result of our specialization and innovation process.

OKO Puncture Free remains a permanent seal. OKO Puncture Free will function in a variety of working environments in both hot and/ or cold conditions dust.

OKO is the only Tyre Sealant to demonstrate under authentic institutional test, that its permanent seal is 1.61 times stronger than a tyre dealer’s conventional vulcanized repair and 71/2 times stronger than a plug.

OKO Puncture Free is a CONCENTRATE Tyre Sealant. Not only sealing more holes permanently with less, it is capable of sealing both large and small holes in tubed or tubeless tyres;

Note Re Efficacy: It is important to distinguish OKO from the amazing claims of competitive products. Genuinely, OKO produces a proper OFF Road product that will last the useful life of the tyre in OFF Road and Slow Moving conditions. The On Road product is “very” different from the Off Road OKO and will protect the fast moving on road tyre for considerable distances and periods.

It seems that OKO is alone in providing TWO different products for to suit a variety of circumstances. (a customer needs to be wary of any manufacturer who claims that ONE product will suit ALL vehicles).

Note re Method of Business: Many competitors attempt to earn money franchising out their products to franchisees in exchange for an “upfront fee”.

The main aim appears to be “Selling a business opportunity”.

The OKO Group never franchises any “Business Opportunity”. It survives by selling product to satisfied users.

General Knowledge concerning porosity:

Heat is a primary cause of premature tyre failure, and under-inflation is a primary cause of excess heat. Tyre porosity is a major cause of under-inflation.

Porosity occurs as a natural process during the manufacture of a tyre. As yet, it is impossible to manufacture a tyre that is totally airtight.

Tyre pressures need to be checked regularly and re-inflated to recommended tyre pressure. This procedure does not end the problem of under-inflation because a tyre will deflate slowly during use, due to porosity.

OKO Puncture Free will seal a hole caused by a puncturing object that penetrates the tyre tread whilst the wheel is revolving. OKO will block the hole and effect a permanent seal. Furthermore, whilst a pneumatic tyre is actively in use and revolving, OKO will coat the inside of the tyre and thus cope with porosity. The ON Road OKO Puncture Free remains as a coat on the inside of the tread area.
