Permaseal Global Brings Eco-Friendly Tire Sealant and Innovative Solutions to Fleets
By FMW Staff
We recently had the opportunity to interview Matt Thomas, one of the co-owners of Permaseal Global. Permaseal Global is transforming fleet operations with its groundbreaking, eco-friendly tire sealant, hailed as the world's first of its kind.
With EPA, DOT, and California Prop 65 compliance, Permaseal sets a new standard by eliminating hazardous chemicals from their programs and products. Endorsed by renowned tire manufacturers like Goodyear, their sealant not only prevents flat tires from punctures, but is the first of its kind to be used in the recapping and retraining process.
Thomas said, "Our product virtually eliminates our clients’ need to replace any tires. We increase the life expectancy and use case of our clients’ tires by 25% and improve their fuel economy by 5%.
"We made sure that we brought to market a program that doesn’t require special tools or equipment, isn’t hazardous, and doesn’t require any specialty cleanup."

What You Need to Know Before Tesla Superchargers Open to Other EVs
Consumer Reports found Tesla’s Superchargers easier to use, in more convenient locations, and more likely to be in working order than public DC fast chargers from EVGo, ElectrifyAmerica, ChargePoint, and other brands.
Any non-Tesla EV except for the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (which use an incompatible plug standard called CHAdeMO) can currently charge at one of the limited number of Tesla Superchargers that offers a Magic Dock adapter.
Several automakers recently announced that owners of their EVs will have access to Tesla’s network of 12,000 Superchargers beginning next year. They also announced that they will adopt Tesla’s NACS charging standard on their upcoming models, which will allow them to plug in at many newer Superchargers even without the Magic Dock, giving owners more options when they’re far from home.
