Nitrogen in tyres is becoming a popular replacement for standard
air. Nitrogen is all around us... the air we breathe is 78%
nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the rest is small amounts of other gasses.
When it comes to tyre inflation, nitrogen has many advantages over
oxygen. With nitrogen tyre inflation, improvements can be noted in
a vehicle's handling, fuel efficiency and tyre life through better
tyre pressure retention, improved fuel economy and cooler running
tyre temperatures. Here at Sin Hup Huat Company our goal is to
provide consumers, over-the-road truckers, fleet managers and
others information about the benefits of using nitrogen in tires.
By reducing the percentage of oxygen, water vapor and other gases
in your tyres from 22% to 7% or lower, your tyres will maintain
proper pressure longer than if you use “plain old air.” For
example, with 95% nitrogen in your tyres, they retain optimal
pressure three to four times longer.
Benefits of Nitrogen in Tyres?
# Increased Fuel Efficiency – Correct tyre pressure keeps the
manufacturer's recommended “contact patch” on the road. This
lessens the rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency.
# Longer Tyre Life – When it comes in contact with other materials,
oxygen causes oxidation. Oxidation can make rubber brittle and
cause it to lose tensile strength. In addition, at high
temperatures and pressures, oxygen reacts and damages inner tire
liners and belt packages; nitrogen does not.
# Increased Safety – Under-inflated tyres cause 90% of blowouts.
Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout
potential. |
