Puncture Resistant Tuff-up tube in the rear tyre which minimizes the incidents of sudden puncture by 70%,

TUFF UP TUBE
The two-chamber tube has two separate chambers that are independent from each other. One is the air and other is the liquid chamber. The newly developed anti-puncture sealant gel is sealed in the chamber located on the tyre tread side during the manufacturing process. As the sealant chamber is always pressed against the tyre by the pressure from the air chamber, when there occurs a hole, the sealant gel enters in the hole and closes it.

STRUCTURE OF TUFF UP TUBE
This shows how the two-chamber tube closes the hole. Usually in an event of a puncture, a hole is pierced through the sealant gel chamber to the air chamber. When a hole occurs, the gel is forced into the hole, and the fibrous material contained in the gel is squeezed out. At that time, the fine ceramic particles fill the openings of the fiber, and the vacant spaces are filled with the gel. As there is a pressure inside of the inner tube, minimal quantity seeps into the air chamber but without causing any harm as it is a water based gel.

HOLE PLUGGING MECHANISM
This shows a picture of the cross-section of the hole closed by the newly developed anti-puncture sealant gel, taken after the sealant gel oozes out, dries and seals the puncture.

TUFF UP TUBE CAN BE REPAIRED LIKE AN ORDINARY TUBE
Though it is an innovative technology, Tuff Up tube is easy to repair and with some simple precautions, it can be repaired at any repair shop or by road side mechanic.
