Hot Vulcanisation for Superior Tyre Repairs
A perfectly moulded repair that is the strongest in the industry
Doing away with traditional heavy machinery, Monaflex developed a lightweight yet tough hot vulcanisation system that provides a distortion-free, long-lasting repair to tyres of all sizes.
Monaflex components are built to mould perfectly to the contours of each tyre and apply even heat and pressure to the injury site. Hot vulcanisation produces the strongest possible bond and with Monaflex results are consistent due to flexibility and strength of the components and the precision of the air and heat control.

Increases productivity and saves money in 5 ways
{01}
The Tyre Repair
Following inspection, damaged material around the injury on the outside of the tyre is removed and replaced with rubber compound. The penetration through the inner liner is covered with a flexible reinforced patch.

The Process
Monaflex pioneered the use of airbags to apply the required pressure for vulcanising whilst also conforming perfectly with the complex contours of the tyre. Combined with the application of heat via flexible, heavy duty heat pads the vulcanised repairs are uniformly smooth and feather edged – giving even greater adhesion and repairs that will outlast the tyre.

Hot Vulcanisation
When the new repair is heated under pressure, a chemical reaction in the uncured soft rubber causes the molecules to begin ‘crosslinking’ with other molecules. After a period of time this will cause the uncured rubber to become much harder and durable whilst also firmly adhering to the original tyre structure. With the Monaflex System a hot vulcanisation repair can be made that will be virtually undistinguishable from the tyre around it.
How we increase productivity...
Fewer operators are required
Systems are designed to be used by a small number of technicians - even when working with the largest mining tyres.
Easy to use
Every system is simple to set up and requires minimal training.
Cures quicker than any other system
Heat and pressure are applied from inside and outside of the tyre which slashes cure time compared to alternative systems.
Longer lasting repairs
Effective repairs lengthen tyre lifespan and reduce the downtime caused by multiple repairs
Durable, quality repairs
Repairs are strong enough to stand up to the toughest environments
Support
Technical support from Monaflex is personal and unlimited.
