Tech Tire Mounting Lubricant: Professional Formulas Built for the Shop

When it comes to tire service, the lubricant you use matters more than most technicians realize. Tech — a brand that pioneered cold vulcanization in tire repair — brings that same engineering discipline to its line of tire mounting lubricants. Whether you're mounting passenger car tires or handling heavy-duty commercial applications, Tech offers purpose-built formulas designed to protect both tires and rims while making the job faster and safer.

What Sets Tech Tire Mounting Lubricant Apart

One of the most important distinctions in Tech's mounting lubricants is what they don't contain. Tech's formulas are both petroleum-free and silicone-free, and they dry tacky — a critical feature that prevents tire and rim slippage once the mount is complete, while also including rust inhibitors to guard against corrosion. This makes them fundamentally different from generic shop lubricants or improvised solutions like dish soap, which can leave surfaces slick and accelerate rust on alloy and steel rims alike.

Tech's Tire Mounting Lubricant Product Lines

Tech offers several distinct mounting lubricant formats to match different shop workflows and application preferences:

• Rim Ease (Ready-to-Use Liquid): Tech's Rim Ease is a ready-to-use liquid that provides excellent lubricity to make tire mounting and demounting fast and easy — simply apply it to the tire bead and rim mating surfaces. Available in 1-gallon and 5-gallon sizes for high-volume shops.
• Tire Mounting Paste (Water-Based): Tech Tire Mount Paste is a water-based lubricant with rust inhibitors that goes on with a brush, eliminating spills and slip hazards in the service area. Its paste consistency gives technicians precise control during application, making it a popular choice for cleaner workspaces.
• Premium Blue Tire Paste (Soap-Based): Tech Premium Blue Tire Paste is a soap-based lubricant with rust inhibitors that don't dry out, applied with a brush to eliminate spills and slip hazards in the service area.
• Tire & Tube Mounting Compound (Vegetable Oil-Based): Tech's Tire & Tube Mounting Compound is a vegetable oil-based lubricant that can be applied with a brush or mixed with water and applied with a swab, providing excellent lubricity when applied to the tire bead and rim mating surfaces. It's available in 8 lb and 25 lb tubs for shops with higher volume needs.

Applications: From Passenger Cars to Heavy Equipment

Tech tire mounting lubricants ensure smooth bead seating for tires on cars, trucks, motorcycles, and heavy-duty equipment, making tire mounting and demounting easy across a wide range of applications. This versatility makes Tech a go-to choice for full-service tire shops rather than requiring multiple specialty products for different vehicle types.
