Frequently Asked Questions
How much working solution does one 8 lb container make?
When diluted at the maximum 4:1 ratio with water, one 8 lb container yields up to 40 lbs of working tire mounting solution. This concentrated formula can also be used undiluted for heavy-duty applications or diluted at lower ratios for lighter tire service work.
Can this be used on motorcycle tires and truck tires?
Yes, REMA REM-2278 is compatible with all tire types including passenger cars, light trucks, commercial vehicles, and motorcycles. The concentrated brown formula provides consistent lubrication across different tire sizes and rubber compounds without damaging tire beads or causing separation issues during mounting.
Does this compound need to be diluted before use?
It can be used straight from the container for maximum lubrication or diluted up to 4 parts water to 1 part compound for lighter applications. Many tire shops dilute it 2:1 for general passenger car work while using it undiluted for difficult commercial tire installations.
How does this compare to other tire mounting lubricants?
REMA compounds contain rust inhibitors and maintain paste consistency without separating or liquefying under temperature changes, unlike many competitors that lose effectiveness over time. The concentrated formula also supports higher dilution ratios while maintaining consistent lubrication performance.
What is the shelf life of this tire mounting compound?
When stored properly in a cool, dry location with the container tightly sealed, this concentrated formula maintains effectiveness for several years without separating, liquefying, or degrading. Avoid contamination with water or debris during storage. Keep container temperature stable between 40-80°F for optimal longevity.
