Since most tires are black, why isn the Tuff-Stuff repair product black also?
First of all; no matter what color any tire repair product starts out as, after one trip around the block, they’re all black anyway! Since Tuff-Stuff prides itself on being the most high tech tire repair on the market, it has always chosen not to make its product black! The reasoning behind this decision is quite simple; tires and black tire repair products use carbon black, which is a powder similar to coal dust to achieve their black color. In the case of tires, the carbon black does absolutely no harm. However, when carbon black is used in the manufacture of tire repair products, it tends to take away some of the tack. (If you have ever watched someone making bread dough, they always add flour to the dough to take away some of the stickiness or tack). Tack is very important in the sealing process of any string type tire repair product, as it helps to hold the product in place until the vulcanization process, accomplished by friction and road heat is completed!
