Air-Cell Technology
What this means for you:

Made of high quality rubber compounds.

Every Tuffil and Soft Core is a

complete unit that is psi/bar and
compound engineered to a tire size -
and application - for optimum
performance.

Lowest Cost per Hour

Pre-Manufactured Layers

Real Cellular Rubber Compounds

8
 Pre-Manufactured Layers

Each unit is manufactured for a

specific tire brand, type and size

The layers fill entire tire cavity,

to the bead

The number of layers

depends on the tire dimensions

Strongest

Real Cellular Rubber Compounds are much

stronger than polyurethane (so called “foam fill”?)
This means longer tire life because:
Longer
HOUR S

Will not easily breakdown under higher loads
and speeds – leading to premature tire failure.

Highly resistant to breakdown at

potential tire casing cut areas.

Trojan Air-Cell Rubber Compounds Support Load –

Increased
Up to 10 times stronger Load Capacity

Up to 50% plus increased load capacity

Trojan: Very High Tensile - up to 2700

Solid Urethane: Very Low Tensile – only 300

 Increased Load Capacity
Tire Load Capacity + Fill Material Capacity = Total Load Capacity

Air + 0% (Tire Only) 100 lbs / 45 kg

Solid
up to + 3% 103 lbs / 47 kg
Urethane

Tuffil Compound up to + 25% 125 lbs / 57 kg

Heavy Duty Soft Core – Bias Compound up to + 35% 135 lbs / 61 kg

Heavy Duty Soft Core – Radial Compound up to + 50% 150 lbs / 68 kg

100% 125% 150%

Note: Tire Load Capacity combined with Fill Material Capacity is the Total Load Capacity.
Fill Materials Load Capacity ratings above are designed to Max psi or bar at 5 mph or 8 km/h.
Super Overload Soft Core Compound also available – load capacity increase up to 70%. Consult Trojan.

More Traction = Less Spin Less Traction = High Spin
= Slower Wear Rate = Faster Wear Rate

High pressure solid polyurethane highly tensions the tire casing

making it very rigid thus resist flexing, tire is susceptible to impact breaks, etc.
