Tires - Canada - Nitrogen inflation's making inroads
Toronto,Ont,CAN -Today's Trucking News (USA) -8 May 2006: -- There’s nothing magical about nitrogen’s ability to prolong tire life. It won’t restore the original luster to the innards of your tires, it doesn’t smell better, and neither will it save the environment... But using nitrogen rather than compressed air to inflate tires has two principle advantages. First, its permeation rate is 35 percent slower than air, resulting in tires that stay properly inflated longer, keeping tires running cooler, improving tread life, minimizing sidewall flex, and overall, lowering the rate of pressure-induced blowouts... Second, nitrogen is dry and contains no moisture. It's inert so rust cannot form since there is neither oxygen nor moisture present to cause oxidation of the wheel... But these days technologies have been developed for on-site use that purifies regular compressed air into high purity nitrogen...
