History of True Blue Puncture Goo!
True Blue was created over 28 years ago, at Gunnedah in Central Northern NSW. It was by necessity that this multi purpose tyre product was developed. With the sale of imported products being suspended due to litigation, there was a demand for puncture repairs in the local area.
With BMX and push bike riding booming in the local district, the need for an easy and practical solution became imperative. TB was originally designed to cope with large burrs, commonly known as catheads or cat eyes, which were the cause of the majority of push bike punctures.
TB was designed to be a preventative measure rather than a cure, maintaining all the positive features of the pneumatic tyre. Being active in the tyre when a puncture occurs, the damaged area would be treated in the shortest time possible, saving the tyre from completely deflating and inconveniencing the user. It was not designed to stop punctures from occurring but to provide a safe solution until the puncture is repaired.
Today TB continues to be an important part in the bicycle industry and has done so through word of mouth and reputation alone.
It was realized that the product was capable of sealing larger intrusions like nails and stakes from noxious bushes i.e. berry bushes, and was quickly adopted by agricultural and mining industries. Testing was and still is carried out for a wide variety of applications.
It has been proven to be successful in a variety of off road vehicles such as quad runners, dirt bikes, 4 wheeled drives and has since become successful in industrial machinery such as bobcats and forklifts. The ride-on mower industry, being one of our largest industries to date, with numerous councils using our product and has since expanded throughout
NSW as a general domestic product.
True Blue is non-toxic, and does not contain oil based Ethanol Glycol commonly used in the majority of other products limiting future repairs Ethanol Glycol is readily absorbed through the skin and can have harmful side affects. If consumed only 15gm.kilo of body weight will kill leaving children and pets at high risk.
Being a family owned and run business we continue to strive to make the best quality product for the Australian the market.
Every component is bought and manufactured in Australia, making this a True Blue Australian product and now we are making it available to the rest of the world.
Suggested Quantity Per Tyre
Quantities are a recommended guide to maximize efficiency of True Blue GOO within individual tyres. Common since is required when dealing with individual environments and conditions.
True blue has minimum requirements that can cover tread only and these amounts are to be followed specifically when dealing with high-speed vehicles (100km/h +). The recommended front and rear quantities can cover down to the rim of the tyres.
To seal larger intrusions Larger quantities of true Blue GOO may have to be added, with the tyre removed from vehicle and rotated over punctured area or shocked (e.g. bounced or hit) back into shape.
