Akron, Ohio-based Ken-Tool has expanded its line of tire service lubricants with the new Euro Paste, Heavy Paste, Tiger Paste and Ultra Lube.

The new products, designed for fleet and off-the-highway applications, assist in the mounting process by lubricating the surface of the rim and tire bead. They 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 is a premium tire mounting lubricant which dries to tacky consistency and prevents rim slippage, and ships in an 8-pound bucket. Heavy Paste is an economical, concentrated tire mounting and bead packing lubricant, makes up to 15 gallons of product, and ships in a 25-pound pail. Tiger Paste is made for commercial, off-the-road and other specialty equipment tires, and ships in a 7.5-pound bucket. Ultra Lube is a tire mounting lubricant and rim rust retardant product which has been compounded for demanding applications, and ships in a 25-pound pail. Ultra Lube also is ideal for lubricating fifth wheels of Class 8 trucks, and protecting mud flaps from deterioration.

These four products join Ken-Tool's existing tire mounting chemical products - BeadEze lubricant and concentrated Detecto Mist air leak detector. BeadEze is now available in a new 1-gallon single pack that can be shipped by package carrier service.
