Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a tire puncture sealant having excellent sealing performance and low-temperature properties. The tire puncture sealant of the present invention contains a natural rubber latex (A) and a vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) as an emulsion of a vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) containing vinyl versatate as a monomer unit; the proportion of the vinyl versatate with respect to all monomer units constituting the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) being from 30 to 70 mass %.

Claims (22)

1. A tire puncture sealant containing a natural rubber latex (A) and a vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) as an emulsion of a vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) containing vinyl versatate as a monomer unit;

a proportion of the vinyl versatate with respect to all monomer units constituting the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) being from 30 to 70 mass %.

2. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) described above contains an emulsifier (b2) containing polyvinyl alcohol; and

a content of the emulsifier (b2) is from 0.8 to 3.0 mass % with respect to a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B).

3. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) is an ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl versatate copolymer resin.

4. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , further containing a propylene glycol (C), wherein

a mass ratio (B/C) of a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) to the propylene glycol (C) is from 0.1 to 1.1.

5. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

6. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 2 , wherein the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) is an ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl versatate copolymer resin.

7. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 2 , further containing a propylene glycol (C), wherein

a mass ratio (B/C) of a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) to the propylene glycol (C) is from 0.1 to 1.1.

8. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 2 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

9. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 3 , further containing a propylene glycol (C), wherein

a mass ratio (B/C) of a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) to the propylene glycol (C) is from 0.1 to 1.1.

10. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 3 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

11. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 4 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

12. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 6 , further containing a propylene glycol (C), wherein

a mass ratio (B/C) of a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) to the propylene glycol (C) is from 0.1 to 1.1.

13. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 6 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

14. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 7 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

15. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 9 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.

16. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 12 , wherein a mass ratio (A/B) of a solid content of the natural rubber latex (A) and a solid content of the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) is from 90/10 to 40/60.
