Abstract

Abstract A liquid tire sealing composition containing an organic volatile amine or amine salt soluble therein, which is effective to impart corrosion resistance to the metallic belts of a belted tire. The organic volatile amine or amine salt component is selected from the group consisting of lower alkylamines, lower cycloalkylamines, naphthylamines, morpholines, benzothiazoles and benzoate, carbonate and nitrite salts thereof. The composition is introduced into the metallic-belted tire cavity, and the volatile amine penetrates through the rubber and lays down a protective coating on the metallic belt without harming the metal to rubber bonding.
