Full details
This Van Line Tyre And Tube Mounting Compound is designed for professional use in all tyre mounting operations, offering a stable, viscous paste that effectively seals the bead-to-rim gap and acts as a flexible pump ring. While it provides excellent sealing for a wide range of vehicles, its stiff paste consistency may require specific application techniques. Key features include its suitability for diverse vehicle types, consistent viscosity, and generous 10kg bucket size.

FAQs
What is the primary function of this mounting compound?
Its primary function is to lubricate the tyre bead and rim during mounting, ensuring a smooth fit, and to create a temporary seal that assists in seating the bead during inflation.
Can this compound be used on alloy wheels?
Yes, it is safe for use on all types of wheels, including alloy, steel, and aluminum, as it is non-corrosive.
How long does the compound remain effective after application?
The compound is designed to facilitate mounting and bead seating. While it provides a temporary seal during this process, it is not intended as a permanent sealant for the tire itself.
Is this product suitable for tubeless tires only?
No, it is suitable for both tubeless and tubed tires, aiding in the mounting process for both.
How should I clean up excess compound?
Excess compound can be wiped away with a clean cloth or rag. It is generally water-soluble when wet but becomes more difficult to remove once dried.
What is the shelf life of the compound?
When stored correctly in a sealed container at room temperature, the compound typically maintains its properties for several years.
Does the compound contain any harmful chemicals?
The product is formulated for industrial use. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on composition and handling precautions.
Troubleshooting
Compound seems too stiff/hard to spread
Ensure the bucket has been stored at room temperature. If hardened, slightly warming the surface layer (e.g., with a warm cloth) can help improve spreadability without affecting performance. Avoid excessive heat.
Air leak after mounting
Re-inspect the tyre bead and rim for any foreign debris or damage. Ensure an even and sufficient layer of compound was applied to the entire bead surface. If necessary, deflate, re-apply compound, and remount.
Compound dries out too quickly on the rim
Ensure the rim is clean and free from excessive rust or dirt which can absorb moisture. Apply a slightly thicker, even layer of compound. Work efficiently during the mounting process.

- Requires proper storage to maintain viscosity in extreme temperatures.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This compound is ready to use straight from the bucket. No mixing or preparation is required. Apply directly to the tyre bead and rim mating surfaces using a brush or applicator.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard tyre and rim types for motorbikes, cars, trucks, CV, agricultural, and earth-moving equipment. Ensure compatibility with any tire repair materials if used in conjunction.
Care: Store the bucket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent drying out and maintain optimal viscosity.
