tire sealant

Flat tire fix

Tire sealant is a liquid compound injected into a tire to seal punctures from the inside.

When a nail or other object punctures the tire, the sealant flows to the hole and hardens on contact with air, plugging the leak.

Some products are preventive, applied before punctures occur; others are emergency repairs: I keep a can of tire sealant in the trunk.
