About Tyrfil
Also known as form fill, TyrFil can be pumped into any pneumatic tire to replace air with a resilient, synthetic rubber core that completely eliminates dangerous tire flats in commercial and industrial heavy equipment vehicles, according to Accella Tire Fill systems. TyrFil reduces tire replacement, defrays costs and keeps scrap tire wasts from landfills, the company said.
A Chattanooga plant that’s a leading national maker of a tire fill product is taking on a new name and potentially more production.
“Chattanooga is definitely part of the overall plan to take advantage of the footprint we now have,” said Joe Negrey, vice president of Accella Tire Fill Systems.
The Curtain Pole Road plant, formerly ArncoPathway, has consolidated with Zeus Tyre Fill. Both companies were earlier purchased by Accella Performance Materials.
Plans are to broaden manufacture of more polyurethane products at the Chattanooga Accella Tire Fill Systems factory that employs about 25 people, Negrey said.
