WHEELING, Ill. The Penray Companies Inc. recently introduced the new Penray Plus Tire Fix Plus emergency tire inflator. In addition to providing emergency leak repair and tire inflation, Penray’s Tire Fix Plus system features Leak Detective, an exclusive technology invented at Penray. Leak Detective is designed to leave an easily identified fluorescent mark at the location where it has sealed a leak. This makes it much easier for the technician to find the leak, or leaks, which are no longer hissing or blowing bubbles.
The non-flammable nature of both the sealant and the inflation gas used in Penray’s Tire Fix Plus make it safe for use by both the consumer and the technician who permanently repairs the tire, the company adds.
According to Penray, the Penray Plus Tire Fix Plus is a convenient product that provides a safe and effective temporary repair for many types of flat tires. It is easily applied through the tire’s valve stem. The foaming sealant finds and seals the point of leakage and inflates the tire to a safe operating pressure, all in one simple operation. Tire Fix Plus will work on virtually any type of pneumatic tires, including those used on cars, trucks, SUVs, boat trailers and ATV tires, the company says.
It also is fully compatible with all Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and sensors, according to Penray, and is an environmentally responsible product with no CFCs.
Penray Plus Tire Fix Plus is available in four different configurations a 12-ounce can that attaches directly to the tire’s valve stem, a 12-ounce can with a flexible hose for more convenient connection to the valve stem, a 16-ounce can, also with flexible hose, and a 22-ounce size that is especially well-suited to SUVs and light trucks with larger tires that can benefit from the greater capacity of the larger can.
The 12-, 16- and 22-ounce cans with inflator include a user-friendly storage system for the hose, built right into the cap of the container. This storage space protects the hose from kinking or damage during storage while also preventing accidental discharge.
“Tire Fix Plus is the perfect gift for family and friends, sons and daughters, and anyone you care about,” explains Sarah Cooper, product manager for Penray. “Changing a tire by the side of the road can be dangerous. And with many of today’s cars equipped with an awkward ‘doughnut’-type spare or, in some cases, no spare tire at all, the prospect of being stuck at the side of the road with a flat tire can be frightening as well as terribly inconvenient.
“With our Tire Fix Plus product, motorists can seal and inflate a flat tire in an instant and make their way safely to a shop that can perform a permanent repair. You just can’t put a price tag on that kind of peace of mind, and we recommend having a can of Tire Fix Plus in every vehicle,” adds Cooper.
