We made a better Tire Liner, but even we were surprised how much better!

In 2009 we started testing plastics used in the building industry to achieve a tougher liner. A tire liner needs to have only one function: to prevent puncture flats while adding as little weight as possible.

After some experimenting, we ran our first batch for testing. Using an apparatus that allowed the slow addition of weight behind a round toothpick (actually pretty tough little things). We were astonished at the results.

The three competing brands we tested allowed penetration at weights between 4 and 8 lbs. (The “4” being a recently introduced lightweight offering.)

We kept adding weight until at 25lbs. the toothpick snapped! We re-ran the test several times on different samples, but the results were mostly consistent.

So we had the brands of liners tested at an independent test lab.

The test performed by FAI Test Labs in Marietta,Georgia confirmed our results. They ran the test 8 times and in all instances, RhinoDillos™ proved
toughest.
