Abstract

The present invention provides a tire puncture sealant containing a natural rubber latex and/or a synthetic resin emulsion and propylene glycol, the propylene glycol/water ratio being from 0.5 to 1.1, and the viscosity at −20° C. when a BL-type viscometer is used being from 100 to 1200 mPa·s at a revolution speed of 60 rpm. The tire puncture sealant of the present invention has excellent low-temperature injection properties and sealing performance.

Claims (7)

1. A tire puncture sealant comprising a natural rubber latex, a synthetic resin emulsion, and propylene glycol, a propylene glycol/water ratio being from 0.5 to 1.1, a viscosity at −20° C. when a Type B Brookfield viscometer is used being from 100 to 1200 mPa·s at a revolution speed of 60 rpm, a total solid content of the natural rubber latex and the synthetic resin emulsion being from 25 to 35% of the tire puncture sealant, a synthetic resin contained in the synthetic resin emulsion containing at least one type selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins and ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl versatate copolymer resins, and a ratio of the solid content of the natural rubber latex to the solid content of the synthetic resin emulsion is from 90/10 to 30/70.

2. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the tire puncture sealant at −20° C. is not less than 100 mPa·s and not more than 400 mPa·s.

3. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the tire puncture sealant at −20° C. is at least 100 mPa·s and less than 400 mPa·s.

4. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the total amount of propylene glycol and water is from 60 to 80 mass % of the entire amount of the tire puncture sealant.

5. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the total amount of propylene glycol and water is from 65 to 75 mass % of the entire amount of the tire puncture sealant.

6. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the tire puncture sealant at −20° C. is not less than 100 mPa·s and not more than 400 mPa·s, the total amount of propylene glycol and water is from 60 to 80 mass % of the entire amount of the tire puncture sealant.

7. A tire puncture sealant comprising a natural rubber latex, a synthetic resin emulsion, and propylene glycol, a propylene glycol/water ratio being from 0.5 to 0.8 , a viscosity of the tire puncture sealant at −20° C. when a Type B Brookfield viscometer is used being at least 100 mPa·s and less than 400 mPa ·s at a revolution speed of 60 rpm, a total solid content of the natural rubber latex and the synthetic resin emulsion being from 25 to 35% of the tire puncture sealant, a synthetic resin contained in the synthetic resin emulsion containing at least one type selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins and ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl versatate copolymer resins, and a ratio of the solid content of the natural rubber latex to the solid content of the synthetic resin emulsion is from 90/10 to 30/70.
