Trydel says these innovative kits are revolutionising tyre repair

Modern Tyre Repair Kits (TRKs) have transformed how we manage punctures, offering a quicker, safer, and more convenient alternative to carrying a spare wheel and its accompanying equipment.
By reducing vehicle weight and simplifying roadside repairs, TRKs have become essential for drivers seeking reliable mobility solutions.
In 1996, Dunlop introduced the first latex-based TRK for the Chrysler Crossfire, a sports car with incompatible front and rear wheel sizes.
While effective, Trydel says latex sealants had limitations and challenges for performance, in application and end use.
They required high latex concentrations to meet OEM sealing standards, often creating permanent rubber plugs that breached industry repair guidelines.
Trydel states latex also complicated professional tyre inspections, as its inherently difficult to distinguish between repairable and non-repairable punctures and locate the puncture location.
Recognising these limitations, Trydel says it embarked on a mission to develop a “superior,” non-latex solution.
By 2005, Trydel founder Terry Dowel had engineered what he describes as the world’s first inside-tyre video monitoring test disk, revolutionising sealant testing.
“Real-world trials demonstrated the unparalleled performance of Trydel’s sealant technology: hundreds of nails and screws punctured tyres with no air loss, as can be viewed with our ‘flying nails’ video on our website,” Trydel Manager, Rodney Dowel, said.
At the 2006 Automechanika trade show, Trydel showcased these advancements, capturing the attention of GMEU.
“Tasked with creating a more environmentally practical sealant, Trydel responded with EZIUP and GO—a non-latex, particle fusion formula that addresses safety concerns and meets rigorous OEM standards,” Rodney said.
“Unlike latex products, EZIUP and GO’s colloidal dispersion passes through the valve core and temporarily seals punctures made by objects up to 6.5mm in diameter.
“Importantly, the tyre gradually loses pressure after travelling 3,000kms if left uninspected and unrepaired, prompting drivers to seek professional inspection – a critical safety feature latex-based sealants lack. This makes the sealant compliant with industry repair regulations.”
The EZIUP and GO emergency tyre repair kit is engineered for simplicity and performance.
“It features a sealant container that dispenses air or sealant (repair kit mode), ensuring effortless tyre inflation or repair,” Rodney said.
“A unique point of difference that sets Trydel’s sealant apart from competitor Latex products is EZIUP’s ease of use.
“The refillable system allows for seamless sealant replacement without changing hoses or fittings which are prone to Latex blockage.”
In 2015, Trydel’s VT sealant passed stringent TUV testing in Munich.
“Trydel continues to set the benchmark for tyre repair technology, combining practicality, innovation, and performance to ensure drivers can stay safe and on the move,” Rodney said.
Trydel also manufacturers chemicals for Automotive such as Radiator Stop Leak, Head Gasket Repair, Windscreen Fluid and more.
