Waste Disposal
Protection of the environment should be a primary concern of everyone. Proper procedures
must be in compliance with local, state and federal waste disposal regulations. Should
materials become contaminated, and thus not usable, they will have to be handled as
hazardous waste and disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations.
Solvent Containers - See the SDS for disposal of empty isopropyl alcohol containers.
Liquid Waste - In most states (check your local, state and federal regulations), liquid waste
containing flush and alcohol must be kept in a closed drum, labeled “FLAMMABLE WASTE”,
in an approved solvents storage area until delivered to a licensed disposer.
Salvaging Rims
Flatproofed tires mounted on wheels with split rims can be removed with a hydraulic press. All
other flatproofed tires can be removed from rims by the following procedure:
1. Use Reciprocating Saw - Grind teeth off saw blade to create a knife edge.
2. Cut Casing - Cut through the sidewall, around both sides, near the rim. Then make one or
more cuts across the tread, from one sidewall cut to another.
3. Remove Tread - Peel off casing to expose the cured material inside.
4. Remove Core - Cut across cured material from side to side and pry away from the rim.
5. Remove Sidewall - Pry remaining bead off the rim.
