Provided is a tire puncture sealant having excellent puncture seal durability. The present disclosure relates to a puncture sealant containing at least one natural rubber latex, at least one antioxidant, at least one antifreezing agent, and at least one selected from the group consisting of protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors.

A puncture repair kit includes a container in which puncture repair liquid is contained, a compressor that supplies compressed air, a pressurization hose connected between a pressurizing port of the container and the compressor, and an injection hose connected between an outlet of the container and a tire valve, and further includes a holding fixture that holds an attitude of the container such that the container is in an inverted state in a state in which the container with the outlet being on a lower side is connected to the tire valve via the injection hose and is pendent from the tire valve.

Provided is a tire puncture sealant having excellent puncture seal durability. The present disclosure relates to a puncture sealant containing at least one natural rubber latex, at least one antioxidant, at least one antifreezing agent, and at least one selected from the group consisting of protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors.

An embodiment provides a method for recycling tires, including: injecting, using a pump, a rubber material into a dissociating system, wherein the pump exerts a mechanical force upon the rubber material to reduce a size of the rubber material; within the dissociating system, creating a rubber material mixture, by: injecting a supercritical fluid to be mixed with the rubber material; heating, using a heat source, the rubber material mixture; and atomizing the rubber material mixture; and sending the resulting atomized rubber material mixture to a separating system to separate the rubber material mixture into different components. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The present application discloses a sealant bottle, which comprises: a bottle body defining an internal space for storing sealant and having: a gas inlet in fluid communication with the internal space to allow gas to enter the internal space; a pipe for receiving the sealant, at least a portion of which is arranged in the internal space to allow the sealant to enter the pipe; and a sealant outlet communicated with the pipe; wherein the pipe defines a sealant delivery path to the sealant outlet, the pipe is further provided with a gas lead-in part on the sealant delivery path, and the gas lead-in part is configured such that the gas from the internal space enters the pipe through the gas lead-in part to mix with the sealant on the sealant delivery path.

A masterbatch manufacturing method in accordance with the present disclosure comprises an operation in which pre-coagulation rubber latex comprising filler is coagulated to obtain a coagulum; an operation in which the coagulum is dewatered; and an operation in which the dewatered coagulum is plasticized as it is dried by means of an extruder; wherein, during the operation in which the dewatered coagulum is plasticized as it is dried, the coagulum comprises a peptizing agent.

A tire having a rubber assembly including a first rubber member, a second rubber member, and a third rubber member which are arranged in series in the cross-section including the tire rotational axis. The method includes: extruding the unvulcanized rubber assembly as two separate parts which are a first extrusion rubber portion and a second extrusion rubber portion divided at a division surface passing through the unvulcanized first rubber member; winding the first extrusion rubber portion into a base annular body; and forming the unvulcanized rubber assembly by winding the second extrusion rubber portion so that only the first rubber member included in the second extrusion rubber portion overlaps with the first rubber member included in the base annular body.

The present invention relates to a pipe connector assembly and a tire maintenance apparatus having the same. The pipe connector assembly comprises a leak-proof valve, and the leak-proof valve is opened only after a sealed fluid medium path is formed between the pipe connector assembly and the tire valve when the pipe connector assembly is screwed to the tire valve. The present invention advantageously prevents fluid medium leakage at the connection between the pipe connector assembly and the tire valve.

An assembly of a pneumatic tire and of a wheel, the pneumatic tire (10) being fitted to the wheel. The assembly comprises first and second self-sealing products housed in the internal volume (V) of the pneumatic tire (10). The first self-sealing product, referred to as solid self-sealing product (OS), covers a predetermined part of the internal surface of the pneumatic tire (10). The relative position of this predetermined part in the pneumatic tire (10) does not substantially vary under the effect of gravity. The second self-sealing product, referred to as liquid self-sealing product (OL), is in the liquid form.

A system and method for freezing and breaking down tires or other materials is disclosed. The system and method for freezing and breaking down tires includes using a shredder to shred the tires, using a filter to screen the tire shreds, using a water sprayer to rinse the tire shreds, using a freezing tunnel to freeze the tire shreds before they are crushed into tire grains, using a magnet to remove any metallic fibers, filtering out any oversized tire grains for re-freezing and re-crushing, and using a separator to separate out any oversized or undersized pieces before bagging the final tire grains for re-use and recycling.
