One of our employees was involved with Capo Beach Calvary while living in Southern California. Capo Beach has an outreach program to provide health, tutoring and food services as well as a CarePoint, which they describe as a place of refuge, to orphans in Swaziland, where orphaned children make up an estimated 12% of the population. A couple of years ago, the church also provided bikes to the children at the CarePoint. Slime was honored to be able to send tubes and sealant to Swaziland in September 2011 so that the children can enjoy their bikes without having to worry about flats.

Introducing the 2X inflator

Grover Beach, CA, September 22, 2011– Inflating large tires just got a lot quicker and easier with the all-new Slime 2X Inflator, which takes a tire from flat to full in 90 seconds. This product was created by Slime, worldwide leader in tire care, when the company saw a need for a rugged inflator that wasn’t being met by other products on the market. Whether you drive an SUV through winding roads, an off-road truck over rough terrain or a tractor through a field, Slime’s 2X Tire Inflator ($99.99), increases optimal fuel economy, maximizes your tire’s tread life and helps you save money during this lingering recession. The inflator is nestled in a durable case, designed to withstand the abuses of the construction site, farm, off-road adventure or anywhere else its power and efficiency can come in handy.

The Slime 2X Inflator features twin cylinders that deliver twice the power of a regular inflator. The 12-volt inflator inflates standard tires in only 90 seconds.  Below are additional features of this strong new product:

• Direct connect to battery
• Internal thermal break
• Twist connect air hose fitting
• Bright LED light for night-time emergencies
• Accessory part adapters for rafts, balls, and other inflatables
• Measurements: 9.4” x 11.6” x 7”
• Weight: 9.4 lb

Not only is the inflator ultra-powerful, it also helps people save money on gas by achieving optimal fuel economy. By keeping tires properly inflated and by monitoring tire pressure, vehicles waste less fuel.

Another added bonus is that the inflator maximizes a tire’s tread life. According to www.MotorTrend.com, “tread life is inversely proportional to local elevation. It’s great in the flatlands of west Tennessee and eastern Colorado, but poor in the Smokies and Rockies. It’s also better for those who do most of their driving on roads with long straights and gentle curves. And it’s worse the farther south you go, due to the heat.” For those who live in areas of high elevation and hot weather, the 2X Inflator can be an efficient tool to ensure proper tire

Mike Morrow, Rubicon Trail expert, says, “the Rubicon Trail is known as the toughest off-road trail in the nation. Proper tire inflation aids in the performance of your vehicle. Using the new Slime 2X Tire Inflator, I was able to quickly and accurately maintain correct tire pressure for myself and all of our four wheel drive club members.”

The award-winning Slime products are exported to over 36 countries, distributed in over 80 countries and have distribution facilities in the Unites States, Europe, Australia and Asia, so it is no surprise that they continue creating the newest and most efficient tire care products. Slime products can be found in over 50,000 retail distribution points worldwide with the ultimate mission of saving customers’ time and money by preventing flat tires anywhere they roll.

As leaders in the tire care and repair industry, Accessories Marketing, Incorporated (AMI), the manufacturers of Slime Tire Sealant wish to address the mandate set forth in the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act, passed in the fall of 2000. In response to this mandate, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) established the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that requires the installation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) to all vehicles by September 1, 2007.

From our findings, and after significant dialog with the leading manufacturers of TPMS devices, SLiME Tire Sealant will not damage TPMS devices. We understand TPMS manufacturers have conducted extensive testing to ensure their sensors remain operational after exposure to any chemical fluids that might come into contact with the sensors. This includes after market products, such as Slime Tire Sealant. AMI has also conducted independent testing, which supports and verifies Slime Tire Sealant’s compatibility with TPMS devices. 

Currently, there are two types of TPMS devices available: Direct and Indirect. Slime Tire Sealant’s TPMS formulation is compatible with all TPMS systems. However, it is important to note that once installed, Slime Tire Sealant may come in contact with the sensor in a way that renders the sensor TEMPORARILY inoperable until it is properly cleaned, inspected and re-installed by a tire care professional.

Because Slime is a water soluble flat repair treatment, it is easily removed from the tire with water. At the time the affected tire is inspected by a tire care professional, they should clean the sealant from the tire, prepare the area and repair with a Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) approved patch/plug. The TPMS device should also be cleaned off with water to remove any sealant which may have come into contact with the device. Do not use any fine objects to ream and clean the small pressure sensor opening as it may damage the electronics. After the repaired tire is replaced and inflated the TPMS system will resume operating as normal.

 Please note that Slime is recommended as a REPAIR for all Over the Road (OTR) applications.Look for our TPMS Safe formulas, denoted by the yellow label and TPMS Safe icon.
