A high performing low viscosity tire sealant includes about 15% to about 75% by weight of a biobased aliphatic diol, about 5% to about 50% by weight natural rubber latex, and about 2% to about 50% by weight synthetic rubber latex. The tire sealant exhibits excellent performance at temperatures of −40 degrees Celsius and lower.

A system and method for filling pot holes. The system includes transferring aggregate from an aggregate tank. Activator is likewise transferred from an activator tank. The activator is mixed with the aggregate to form a homogenized mixture. A liquid is introduced into a homogenized mixture to form a slurry and then a pot hole filler. The pot hole filler is directed through an exit end of a mixing tube.

A method for producing a rubber wet masterbatch comprises step (i) of producing a slurry solution by dispersing carbon black in a dispersing solvent in the presence of an inorganic filler, step (ii) of producing a slurry-containing rubber latex solution by mixing the slurry solution with a rubber latex solution, and step (iii) of producing a rubber wet masterbatch by solidifying and drying the slurry-containing rubber latex solution. The inorganic filler has a Mohs hardness of 5 or more, and in the step (i), the amount of the inorganic filler added is less than 50% by mass where the amount of the carbon black added is 100% by mass.
