Tire Additives & Sealants (Wholesale) is a subdivision of the SIC Code 5014 that involves the wholesale distribution of tire additives and sealants. These products are used to enhance the performance and durability of tires, as well as to repair punctures and leaks. Tire additives can include materials such as carbon black, silica, and other chemicals that are added to the rubber during the manufacturing process to improve traction, reduce rolling resistance, and increase wear resistance. Sealants are used to repair punctures and leaks in tires, and can be applied either before or after a puncture occurs. This industry plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and longevity of tires used in a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks.
