Meridian Industries of England has developed a puncture sealing treatment that works for both tubeless and tubed pneumatic tires. OKO is an in-place puncture sealant introduced via the valve. Dose depends on the size of the tire and its function. OKO spreads over the inside of the tire tread and remains fluid as the wheel revolves. When a puncture occurs, the escaping air forces the liquid into the hole to form an airtight, permanent seal.
The sealant remains active for repeated punctures. It is able to seal holes as large as seven millimetres in diameter. The sealant can be used for larger tires such as tractor tires or for small-volume tires such as ATVs, riding lawnmowers, wheelbarrows, bicycles, motocross motorcycles, recreational vehicles, golf carts, wheelchair tires and vehicles for the disabled. Enquiries from Canada are welcomed by the company.
