Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a tire sealant having excellent injectability and a tire repair kit. The present invention relates to a tire sealant containing a natural rubber latex; a synthetic resin emulsion; an anti-freezing agent; and phosphate ions or acetate ions; wherein the content of the phosphate ions is from 4.5×10 −3 to 11.0×10 −3 mass %; the content of the acetate ions is from 0.05 to 0.2 mass %; and the relative dielectric constant of the tire sealant is not less than 52.9; and a tire repair kit using the tire sealant.

Claims (27)

1. A tire sealant comprising:

a natural rubber latex;

a synthetic resin emulsion;

an anti-freezing agent; and

phosphate ions or acetate ions; wherein

a content of the phosphate ions is from 4.5×10 −3 to 11.0×10 −3 mass % in a case where the tire sealant contains phosphate ions;

a content of the acetate ions is from 0.05 to 0.2 mass % in a case where the tire sealant contains acetate ions; and

a relative dielectric constant is not less than 52.9.

2. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic resin emulsion is at least one type selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate based copolymer emulsions, vinyl acetate homopolymer emulsions, and polysilicone emulsions.

3. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-freezing agent is at least one type selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and glycerin.

4. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , wherein a content 1 of a solid component of the natural rubber latex is from 15 to 90 mass % of a total mass of the content 1 and a content 2 of a solid component of the synthetic resin emulsion.

5. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , wherein a content of anti-freezing agent is from 30 to 70 mass % of a total mass of water and the anti-freezing agent contained in the tire sealant.

6. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphate ions are at least one type selected from the group consisting of H 2 PO 4 − , HP 0 4 2− , and P 0 4 3− .

7. The tire sealant according to claim 1 , further comprising a surfactant.

8. A tire repair kit comprising the tire sealant described in claim 1 and a compressor.

9. The tire sealant according to claim 2 , wherein the anti-freezing agent is at least one type selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and glycerin.

10. The tire sealant according to claim 2 , wherein a content 1 of a solid component of the natural rubber latex is from 15 to 90 mass % of a total mass of the content 1 and a content 2 of a solid component of the synthetic resin emulsion.

11. The tire sealant according to claim 2 , wherein a content of anti-freezing agent is from 30 to 70 mass % of a total mass of water and the anti-freezing agent contained in the tire sealant.

12. The tire sealant according to claim 2 , wherein the phosphate ions are at least one type selected from the group consisting of H 2 PO 4− , HP 0 4 2− , and P 0 4 3− .

13. The tire sealant according to claim 2 , further comprising a surfactant.

14. The tire sealant according to claim 3 , wherein a content 1 of a solid component of the natural rubber latex is from 15 to 90 mass % of a total mass of the content 1 and a content 2 of a solid component of the synthetic resin emulsion.

15. The tire sealant according to claim 3 , wherein a content of anti-freezing agent is from 30 to 70 mass % of a total mass of water and the anti-freezing agent contained in the tire sealant.

16. The tire sealant according to claim 3 , wherein the phosphate ions are at least one type selected from the group consisting of H 2 PO 4 − , HP 0 4 2− , and P 0 4 3− .

17. The tire sealant according to claim 3 , further comprising a surfactant.

18. The tire sealant according to claim 4 , wherein a content of anti-freezing agent is from 30 to 70 mass % of a total mass of water and the anti-freezing agent contained in the tire sealant.

19. The tire sealant according to claim 4 , wherein the phosphate ions are at least one type selected from the group consisting of H 2 PO 4 − , HP 0 4 2− , and P 0 4 3− .

20. The tire sealant according to claim 4 , further comprising a surfactant.
