The RAC Emergency Tyre Sealant is an essential roadside companion for motorists and caravan enthusiasts seeking a reliable way to handle punctures up to 6mm without needing a spare tyre. This latex-free, MIRA-approved solution allows for quick, on-the-spot repairs to keep you moving safely, though it is intended as a temporary emergency fix rather than a permanent solution for damaged tyre structures.

No, this sealant is only designed for tread punctures up to 6mm. Sidewall damage compromises the structural integrity of the tyre and requires immediate replacement.
The sealant is effective for most standard car and caravan tyres, but it should not be used on tyres with faulty valve stems or sensors that might be damaged by liquid sealants.
Yes, once the sealant is applied, you will need to reinflate the tyre to the correct pressure using a portable tyre inflator or at a service station.
While many modern sealants are TPMS-friendly, it is recommended to inform your tyre technician that sealant has been used so they can clean the sensor appropriately.
You should treat the repair as temporary. Drive at reduced speeds and proceed directly to a professional tyre repair facility.
Check the bottle for a batch date or expiry date. Over time, the chemical composition may separate or lose effectiveness.
Ensure the valve core has been removed and there is no debris blocking the valve stem opening.
The puncture may exceed the 6mm limit or be located on the sidewall, which the sealant cannot repair. Seek professional roadside assistance.
To apply the sealant, first remove the valve core using the provided tool in the kit. Shake the 300ml bottle thoroughly to ensure the formula is properly mixed. Connect the bottle to the tyre valve and dispense the entire contents. Replace the valve core, inflate the tyre to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, and apply the red warning dust cap so other technicians know the tyre contains sealant.
Store the kit in a cool, dry place within your vehicle, ideally in the boot or under a seat. Keep the container away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain the chemical integrity of the formula. Ensure the bottle remains tightly sealed when not in use.
