Nitrogen Tyre Inflation
Benefits of inflating tyre with NITROGEN are well known, But availability has been problematic... Until NOW!!
Compressed air – the traditional medium for inflating car tyres – contains both oxygen (21%) and nitrogen (78%). A rubber tyre is like a membrane, through which oxygen permeates three times faster than nitrogen.
As a result the oxygen slowly leaks out through the rubber walls which lead to under-inflation.
This in turn leads to higher tyre wears, decreased safety and comfort, and higher fuel costs. In addition, compressed air contains high levels of moisture, which can accelerate the corrosion of the tyre rim
Nitrogen is used in tyres to avoid air leaking through the tyre wall which results in under-inflation. The reason why nitrogen is used is because it is easy to produce, does not support combustion, has no smell and is also a component of atmospheric air.
