What Does Tire Repair Mean?
1 Answers
Tire repair refers to the process of fixing a punctured or leaking car tire. Below is more information about the principles of car tire repair: 1. Hot Patch: The hot patch method was widely popular among car owners for a long time and was considered the safest and most reliable way to repair a tire. 2. Mushroom Plug: The cap of a mushroom plug functions similarly to a cold patch, sealing the tire's inner liner, while the stem of the plug passes through the puncture hole to repair the tire's rubber body. 3. Cold Patch: The cold patch method mainly uses a cold patch and adhesive to cover the hole in the inner liner, achieving the repair. 4. External Plug: This method uses a soft rubber strip, offering a quick and convenient repair solution, but it is only suitable for small puncture holes. After applying the cold patch, the rubber strip heats up and softens with tire use, preventing air leakage from the puncture hole. 5. Tire Repair and Inflation Machine: The advent of tire repair and inflation machines allows for quick and convenient fixes for tire punctures, especially suitable for female drivers who encounter sudden punctures on the road and prefer not to use a jack or change the tire themselves.
