Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do these temporary tire patches typically last? A: REMA REM-581 patches provide reliable temporary repairs for several weeks under normal OTR operating conditions. The vulcanizing construction creates chemical bonds with tire rubber that maintain seal integrity even under heavy loads. Heavy-duty mining and construction applications may require permanent repair sooner depending on operating conditions, but patches consistently maintain air retention until professional tire service becomes available.

Q: Will these work on radial OTR tires or only bias-ply? A: The REM-581 is specifically engineered for bias-ply OTR tire construction and should not be used on radial tires. Bias-ply and radial tires have different internal structures that require matching patch materials. REMA manufactures different patch products specifically optimized for radial tire construction. Using the wrong patch type can result in seal failure.

Q: How do these compare to traditional string plug repair kits? A: REMA patches create permanent vulcanizing chemical bonds with tire rubber, providing superior air retention and durability compared to string plugs that simply fill the hole. The bowtie design distributes stress across a larger contact area, making it ideal for high-load OTR applications. String plugs are temporary stopgaps while REMA patches offer reliable long-term repairs.

Q: Can these patches be applied in cold weather conditions? A: REM-581 patches can be installed in various weather conditions including cold temperatures, though installation may require extra care to ensure proper adhesion. The vulcanizing process activates most effectively when the tire generates operating heat, so allow additional curing time before heavy operation in cold conditions. Proper surface preparation and cleaning becomes even more critical in cold weather.
