BMG Automotive has extended its range of quality branded components to include an environmentally friendly tyre protection sealant designed for commercial trucking, mining and construction industries. This new international brand, BEST tyre protection sealant, is a thixotropic and colloidal resin containing microfibres and recycled rubber crumb materials, with cooling agents and rust inhibitors that protect all metal parts.
“BEST, which is non-toxic and water soluble, is injected into the tyre through the valve, without the need to dismantle the wheel from the machine or the tyre from the rim,” says John Black, general manager of BMG Automotive. “In the event of a puncture, the sealant automatically creates patches and plugs, sealing holes caused by foreign objects. It also eliminates leakage from hidden rubber pores, seals valve leakages and prevents air pressure leakage from the rim and O-ring.”
The sealant efficiently seals around objects embedded in the tyre up to 50 mm, prohibits internal rubber separation and reduces overheating of the rubber mass and the metal armour of the casing. Benefits include improved safety for the driver, reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs and minimal rim assembly problems. BEST sealant is break-down, boil and freeze resistant to -25°C.
BMG has also launched new REXON automotive belts and DLZ suspension components. The company’s range of automotive components also includes Autoline Premium prop shaft support bearings, which consist of quality branded NSK and NTN ball bearings that ensure optimum performance and reliability in all conditions. Also in the range are wheel bearing kits, clutch release and belt tensioner bearings, gearbox bearings, differential kits, oil seals, sealants and adhesives, trailer repair kits, universal joints and spark plugs.
