Sunscreen For Tires
Whether it's human skin, rubber, vinyl,
plastic, fiberglass or tires, protection from the harmful effects of the sun and ozone has
become increasingly important.
Most plastics and rubber absorb ultraviolet (UV) light,
which breaks their chemical bonds, causing them to fade, chalk and become brittle.
Ozone hastens the hazardous effects of UV light. To reduce
damage from ozone and UV light, tire manufacturers blend carbon black and protective waxes
into the tire polymer. When tires are used regularly, they flex. Flexing allows protective
waxes to surface and form a physical barrier between the air (ozone and oxygen) and the
tire polymer.
Tires on antique tractors, RVs, boat trailers or classic
cars that are parked for extended periods begin to "dry-rot." Ozone eats away at
the protective wax and before long reaches the tire polymer. Often by this time, carbon
black has lost its ability to protect against UV light. The tire dries, checks and
eventually cracks.
These Tires that are used very little are likely to suffer
sidewall failure. While new tires are dark black with a nice waxy feel, older tires turn
grey and dry out.
Most "rubber protectant" products are like the
outdated suntan lotions before sunscreens were invented. They are greasy and oily,
attracting dust and dirt...But we now offer...
