| Rim Guard is a new, patented product designed as a tire ballast to reduce or eliminate rust to tire rims, valves, gauges, pumps, and equipment.
Rim Guard is non-corrosive to metal. Nails left in a container of calcium chloride for 15 months were completely rusted over; whereas the Rim Guard solution treated nails were shiny and brightly colored, with no rust. Rim Guard places a protective polymer coating over the metal to reduce corrosion.
Some of the many benefits:
- Rim Guard will not freeze to at least 30 degrees below zero.
- Rim Guard is environmentally safe and is biodegradable.
- Rim Guard weighs approximately 10.7#/gallon proving excellent weight for the volume.
- Rim Guard is non-toxic to humans and animals.
- Rim Guard is non-abrasive to metal, rubber, plastic, and other materials.
- Rim Guard can be pumped though your current pumping and storage system.
- Rim Guard does not require specialized pumps, piping, couplers or storage tanks. Rim Guard can be stored in poly, mild steels or fiberglass tanks.
- Rim Guard is non-flammable and is dark brown in color.
- Rim Guard has been formulated to be water soluble, allowing for the ease of cleaning and not requiring special waste disposal.
- Rim Guard is economical compared to adding cast iron or steel weights to the equipment and the use of injectable foams to tires, which can double or even triple the original cost of the new tire.
- Rim Guard will not destroy leather shoes and gloves, or rust the eyelets out of work boots as do the salt brines and chlorides.
- Rim Guard will readily wash off your hands without burning and cracking as do chlorides and salt brines.
