Polycoat Polyfil®
Polycoat Polyfil® is a two component system where all the air is removed from the tire cavity and is replaced with a liquid polyurethane rubber. The liquid in the tire cures at room temperature to a soft, resilient rubber that allows the tire to maintain the flexing characteristics of a conventional air filled tire. Tires with Polyfil® will not deflate due to puncture or sidewall cuts. Polyfil® allows equipment to operate at maximum efficiency as it reduces downtown time due to flat tires. Polyfil® also helps extend tire life as the tire will not be subject to changes in air pressure, so the tire does not run under or over inflated, which can also improve fuel economy. Down time and tire repair costs are substantially reduced when using tires filled with Polyfil®, while efficiency and productivity are improved.

Polyfil® has been manufactured in Santa Fe Springs, California since 1985 by the original chemist that developed the product in 1971.

Polyfil® comes in four densities to meet the needs of varied applications:


Polyfil® LP -10 Shore A 10 Durometer P - is excellent for applications requiring a wider foot print for flotation type tires and that need a soft ride for the equipment and operator. Applications for Polyfil® LP:

Applications for Polyfil LP:

  • Skid steers
  • Loaders at transfer stations (adds traction for pushing as well as flat proofing)
  • Farm and agriculture equipment
  • Golf course lawn mowing equipment

Polyfil® 22 - Shore A 22 Durometer - This material rides slightly harder than the LP and has a little less deflection which results in less heat build up while still providing a soft ride.

Applications for Polyfil 22:

  • Loaders
  • Lawnmowers
  • Tractors
  • Pressure washers
  • Wheel barrows
  • Hand carts

Polyfil® 30 - Shore A 30 Durometer - Will fill the needs of most applications where tire flat proofing is needed. This product may be run at speeds up up 55 MPH for 4 hours. This is a reliable and economical material that will run all day long at 35 MPH.

Applications for Polyfil® 30:

  • Military
  • Construction
  • Sea ports
  • Steel mills
  • Factory vehicles
  • Ports
  • Street sweepers
  • Skid steers
  • Loaders
  • Fork lifts
  • Vehicles running on the highway for short durations at speeds @ 55MPH or lower (i.e. - pick ups at deer leases, ranch vehicles)
  • Airports
  • Amusement parks
  • Garbage and sanitation vehicles
  • Mining and earth moving equipment

Polyfil® HP - 52 Shore A Durometer - HP is made for heavy-slow moving equipment where no deflection is wanted or needed. Stratocranes and high reach equipment are ideal applications for HP where stability and safety are paramount.

Applications for Polyfil® HD:

  • Man lift equipment ( essential for safety )
  • Cranes
  • Mining applications
  • Military
  • Sea ports
  • Steel mills
  • Any slow moving, heavy applications where no deflection is wanted
Advantages:
Tires filled with Polyfil® products will not have any flats, blow outs, or run under inflated ( thus increasing tire life). Polyfil® is made for all varieties of pneumatic tire construction and can operate successfully at speeds up to 55 MPH ( 35 MPH for LP ). Polyfil® tires prevent costly down time and provide uninterrupted service which will greatly enhance cost effectiveness.
Polyfil® saves time and money by eliminating costly tire repair, equipment downtime, replacement costs, and production stoppage due to flat tires.

Polyfil® products also provide longer tire life and can be retreaded (possibly several times) as long as the tire casing is good, which will provide additional savings.
