Puncture Size

Why Puncture size IS Important

So, you’ve probably noticed we’re always talking about puncture size. And more specifically, the puncture size that FlatOut™ is able to protect against. (1/2 inch!) So why is that important? And why do we keep bringing it up?

Well, we’re glad you asked. The goal of a tire sealant is to seal punctures and slow leaks, and FlatOut™ seals more than TWICE THE SIZE of the competition. That means more protection for you and your tires, so you can keep riding your UTV, eBike, or lawnmower on the weekend without worrying about flats. Double the sealing power = double the fun (or double the work you can get done!)

Sealing Power You Can Count On! 

No more putting your weekend fun on hold because you’ve already had to fill up the lawnmower tire four times with air. No more stopping on the side of the road in your RV on the way to that awesome campsite you found. No more running to the gas station to fill up on air before you hit the trails with your ATV because you got a slow leak.

Let’s face it, that trail is nothing without your side by side on it, and that boat is definitely not going to drive itself to the lake. We wanted to develop a sealant that would give you max performance and is for those who make the most out of every weekend.

So, let’s put things into perspective. How big is ½ inch when it comes to running over things? We do demos using a half-inch spike. We know, pretty cool! FlatOut™ seals them every time. FlatOut™ goes past just protecting against nails and screws. When you’re off-road, you could run over deer antlers, branches, thorns, and everything else out there. You’ll need the extra protection FlatOut™ provides when you encounter these.

What Gives FlatOut™ the Power to Seal 1/2 inch Punctures?

So, if your next question is, “How can FlatOut™ seal punctures that are double the size of the competition and deliver on that promise?” We’ll tell you! FlatOut™ is made up of synthetic TangleTek™ fibers including Dupont™ Kevlar®. These fibers are the key to sealing large punctures. Bullet-resistant vests are made of Kevlar®, so adding this to our formulas makes the seals super strong. All of these fibers and fillers are mixed into a non-adhesive base fluid, so it never dries out or gets sticky. When you get a puncture, the base fluid carries the fillers and fibers to the puncture. As you drive, the fibers in the puncture compress into a durable plug.

The puncture size (remember, double the sealing power) is just one benefit you get when you use FlatOut™. There are tons more reasons to choose FlatOut™. It lasts for the life of the tire, doesn’t dry out, seals slow leaks, easy-install, and you’re not constantly replacing or refilling it, just to name a few. Wherever you go, FlatOut™ has your equipment protected because we know you love your equipment, and we know you love your weekends!
