1. Information
about Flammability of Ride-On TPS as
Related to tyre Retreading
This Technical
Service Bulletin provides
information regarding retreading
tyres that have contained our
Ride-On TPS tyre sealants. Ride-On
TPS sealants have been formulated
expressly with notion that they
should be retread friendly. They are
easy to clean with water, and they
do not mask injuries in a tyre,
allowing the NDT machines to find
all the punctures. The following
information is pertinent for all of
our customers and end-users who
retread tyres.

3. Corrosion
The following
bulletin is in response to questions
regarding the corrosiveness of the
Ride-On tyre Protection System (TPS).
The ingredients that comprise
Ride-On TPS will not damage the
components of casings or wheels.
Ride-On TPS contains corrosion
inhibitors that protect steel,
magnesium, and aluminum wheels and
tyre belts against corrosion.
Ride-On TPS also protects yellow
metals like brass, commonly found in
valve stems and cores, against
oxidation. Ride-On tyre sealant can
be easily washed out of tyres with
water. It will not affect the future
use of patches or other tyre
repairs. Finally, use of Ride-On TPS
may actually help preserve tyre
casings, which in turn may make
retreads last longer.

Environmental Analysis
The following
Technical Service Bulletin is the
environmental impact analysis of
Ride-On TPS. A sample of Ride-On was
submitted to a California State
certified laboratory on April 5,
2004 for a Department of Health
Services (DOHS) Bioassay – DOHS 1
Title 22 for Hazardous Waste (LC-50)
Using Fathead Minnows. Based on the
successful passing of this test,
Ride-On, does not exhibit the
California hazardous waste
characteristic of aquatic toxicity.

6. Ride-On TPS
tyre Coverage Area
The Ride-On™ TPS
Commercial High Speed™ (CHS™)
formula (“Ride-On”) is designed to
coat the crown of the tyre (please
see diagram below). The shape of the
tyre casing and centrifugal force
generated by the rotation of a tyre
forces Ride-On to cover the inside
crown area of the tyre. Ride-On is
not designed to protect the outside
25.4 mm to 38.1 mm of a tyre's tread
closest to the shoulder areas. The
effectiveness in sealing punctures
in the crown of the tyre is an
estimated ...
