Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a tire puncture sealant having excellent low-temperature injection performance and sealing performance. The tire puncture sealant of the present invention contains a natural rubber latex (A); and a vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B), the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion being an emulsion of a vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) containing vinyl versatate and an unsaturated organic acid as monomer units.

Claims (9)

1. A tire puncture sealant comprising a natural rubber latex (A); and a vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B), the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion being an emulsion of a vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) containing vinyl versatate and an unsaturated organic acid as monomer units, said vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) having a glass transition temperature of −25° C. or less;

wherein a proportion of the unsaturated organic acid with respect to all monomer units constituting the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) is from 0.01 to 2.00 mass %.

2. The tire puncture sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl versatate copolymer resin emulsion (B) 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 2 , wherein the vinyl versatate copolymer resin (b1) is an unsaturated organic acid-ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl versatate copolymer resin.

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

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

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

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

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