Punctures on steering axles can cause serious accidents. OKO Puncture Free stops tyre deflation in its tracks.

Any driver who has experienced a puncture at speed knows what a costly, life threatening and time wasting situation it is. Furthermore, a puncture happens without any warning and can make the vehicle difficult, if not impossible to handle. Trevor Stopforth, SA distributor of OKO tyre sealants plugs the gap.

OKO Puncture Free is a concentrated tyre sealant in an advanced chemical solution comprising specially treated and secret constituents, rust inhibitors, etc held in suspension to provide a carefully engineered matrix. The product is injected into the vehicles tyre via the valve stem. It will seal punctures as they occur, thus eliminating tyre deflation.

OKO will seal holes in the tread area of a tyre up to 9mm. OKO remains inside the tyre, permanently coating the inner area of the tyre, protecting the tyre continuously, ready to seal punctures over and over again.

A run flat situation can destroy a tyre permanently and is likely to be dangerous in certain situations. Despite major advances in pneumatic tyre design, punctures remain a costly, dangerous and disruptive threat to any driver. Whether it is a Light/Heavy Truck, Van, Waste Disposal Truck, Bus, etc, punctures are a real menace but the threat of serious accidents occuring because of them can be minimised with the right tyre sealant.
