Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate Emergency Puncture Repair is designed for motorists who want a rapid, stress-free solution to roadside tyre failures without the physical labor of changing a wheel. This aerosol-based sealant and inflator effectively repairs punctures in approximately 90 seconds, making it an essential addition to any vehicle's emergency kit. While it offers unparalleled convenience for minor tread punctures, it is important to note that this is a temporary fix intended to get you to a repair shop, not a permanent structural repair for major sidewall damage.

FAQs

Is this a permanent tyre repair?

No, this is an emergency repair only. You should drive slowly to a service station to have the tyre professionally inspected or replaced.

How do I know if my tyre is compatible?

Check the sidewall of your tyre for the size code. If it includes R15 or R16, it is compatible with this version of Flat Mate.

Will this damage my tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?

While most modern sealants are generally safe, you should inform your tyre technician that a sealant has been used so they can clean the sensor during repair.

Does this work on motorbikes?

Yes, it is compatible with motorbikes, provided the tyre size is within the 15-16 inch range.

How long should I wait before driving?

You should begin driving at a slow speed immediately after application to help distribute the sealant within the tyre.

Troubleshooting

Tyre remains flat after application

Check if the puncture is in the tread or the sidewall; the product cannot seal sidewall damage. Also, ensure the nozzle is fully depressed and seated on the valve.

Sealant leaking from the valve

Ensure the connection is tight and free of debris. If the valve core is damaged, the product will not be able to maintain pressure.

  • Portable and space-efficient packaging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure this product works as intended, always verify your tyre size before use. Look at the tyre sidewall for the code formatted as 'R15' or 'R16' to confirm compatibility with this specific 400mL variant. Store these cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent pressure buildup. Never attempt to use this product on tyres that show severe structural damage, such as large gashes or separation from the wheel rim, as the sealant will not be able to bridge these gaps. Always replace used or expired canisters promptly to maintain your emergency preparedness.
