Ken-Tool expands tire mounting lubricant line

Ken-Tool added Euro Paste, Heavy Paste, Tiger Paste and Ultra Lube to its line of tire service lubricants. The four new products are formulated for professional use, particularly in fleet and off-highway applications, and assist in the mounting process by lubricating the surface of the rim and tire bead. Each contains rust inhibitors to protect steel rims, preventing the tire bead from bonding to the rim.

Ken-Tool, a manufacturer of professional tire service tools and related products, has announced it will expand its line of tire service lubricants by adding Euro Paste, Heavy Paste, Tiger Paste and Ultra Lube.

According to the company, the four new products are formulated for professional use, particularly in fleet and off-highway applications. The products assist in the mounting process by lubricating the surface of the rim and tire bead. Additionally, the new products all contain rust inhibitors to protect steel rims, preventing the tire bead from bonding to the rim, helping to make mounting and demounting tires easier and improve shop efficiency.

Euro Paste (p/n 35848) is a premium tire mounting lubricant that dries to tacky consistency and prevents rim slippage. It ships in an 8-lb. bucket, Ken-Tool said.

Heavy Paste (p/n 35840) is an economical, concentrated tire mounting and bead-packing lubricant. It makes up to 15 gal. of product and ships in a 25-lb. pail, the maker added.

Tiger Paste (p/n 35837) has a superior formulation for commercial, Off-The-Road and other specialty equipment tires, and ships in a 7.5-lb bucket, according to the company.

Ultra Lube (p/n 35839) is a premium-level tire mounting lubricant and rim rust retardant product that has been compounded for demanding applications and ships in a 25-lb. pail. Ultra Lube also is ideal for lubricating 5th wheels of Class 8 trucks, plus protecting mud flaps from deterioration, Ken-Tool said.

All Ken-Tool tire service lubricants can be applied with the Ken-Tool B111 Bead Lubricant Swab, which features a cotton swab applicator attached to a severe-duty handle, the company said.
