However, it is vital to remove the penetrating object. Failure to do so will result in the object flexing in the tire and shredding the tube until it is destroyed. Although we can't guarantee the sealant to always permanently seal a puncture due to the condition of the tube, we do guarantee that as long as the tire is in motion, you will reach your destination, and then, should some damage have occurred to the tube, it may lose air. There is too much flexing in the sidewalls and a temporary plug would be a safety factor. Viking Seal will always stay in the same condition as it was when it was inserted into the tire because the tire is a closed container and no evaporation of the liquid can occur.
Users are many and varied.
Other liquid sealants are either paste, solvent, gel or water-based, which consequently dry out at low temperatures. Many of the liquid tire sealants congeal, which can cause balancing problems and alteration of the rubber composition. That, in turn, shortens the life of the tire. Viking Seal is Glycol based and will not break down or dry up inside the tire. Viking Seal, if properly installed, will not affect tire balance.
