What kind of glue is used for tire sidewall repair?
2 Answers
Tire sidewall repair uses rubber. The following is an introduction about tires: 1. Introduction: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. 2. Function: Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, which shows the significant ability of tires to consume rubber.
I've dealt with many tire issues, and often car owners ask what kind of glue can be used to repair the sidewall. Honestly, the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, bearing significant impact, and once damaged, it's very difficult to fully repair. There are indeed specialized vulcanized rubber adhesives for tires on the market, used together with tire repair patches, which can bond cracks. However, this is only a temporary measure with unstable results, prone to repeated air leaks or blowouts. As a long-term solution, I recommend replacing the tire with a new one—safety first. Regularly checking tire pressure and wear can help reduce such problems. Remember, tire condition directly affects driving stability; don't save small money at the risk of big hazards.
