Cylinder Air Bags

To provide consistent and uniform pressure to vulcanising components within the void of a tyre during the curing process.

Cylinder Air Bags are manufactured in accordance with dimensions of individual tyre sizes to ensure that once pressure exerted the Cylinder Air Bag faithfully conforms to the unique geometry of the tyre chamber.

As the cylinder air bag is inflated outward pressure is exerted uniformly in all directions.

When operating at the recommended 32psi, the pressure applied is 49,600 lbs pm².

This equates to 22 tons of pressure applied evenly to all areas of contact.

Aluminium Tubing

Aluminium tubing has a myriad of uses as it offers not only flexibility and durability, but corrosion resistance.

It is a lightweight, economic, highly conductive and environmentally friendly material well suited for many applications, except for being a substitute for Cylinder Air Bags used in tyre repair.

Polyethylene Pipes

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene pipes are used in a variety of industries and have specific use in mining and dredging applications.

Polyethylene piping is recognised as the predominant material for many mining processes, such as the transportation of water, process water, slurry and tailings; mine dewatering and aquifer depressurisation; and, direct applications such as solution mining and heap leaching.

CCA Treated Pine Logs

CCA Pine logs are ideal for all rural and semi-rural fencing applications as well as vineyard posts and they can easily be used in conjunction with a range of other fencing materials including electric wire, mesh and ring lock.

Copper chrome arsenate (CCA) treated timber is wood that has been treated with a preservative containing copper, chromium and arsenic. CCA treatment prolongs the life of the wood making them impervious to termites, rot, mould or fungi.

Although the chemicals are fixed within the dry wood in CCA-treated timber, concerns have been expressed internationally about the potential for harm as small amounts of arsenic can leach out of the surface of the timber.

You should limit possible exposure to the chemicals in CCA-treated timber as a precaution.
