00:00INNOVATION CITRONYUM
00:06If we look at the statistics from JPJ,
00:10there are 6,000 accidents that led to deaths.
00:15Out of that number, 50% are related to motorcycle maintenance.
00:21And also, out of the 50%, 37% are related to tyre problems.
00:27This is the main motivation for us to develop a calis-puncher product for motorcycle tyres.
00:37Introducing our innovation, Puncture Proof Self-Healing Tyres.
00:41Puncture Proof Self-Healing Tyres is a technology in a place that produces tyres,
00:47especially motorcycle tyres that are calis-punched and not punctured
00:52when they are hit by sharp and hard materials.
00:56We use this self-healing rubber and put it in during the tyre production
01:02where the self-healing rubber is put in layers in the tyre.
01:06And when there is a puncture by a stick or a sharp object,
01:11this self-healing rubber layer will immediately heal and close the puncture hole.
01:18The healing time is temporary.
01:23This innovation was inspired by the tyre tree itself,
01:29where the main material used to produce the self-healing rubber
01:35is the tyre from the Malaysian tyre tree.
01:39So, if we look at the puncture of the tyre,
01:44the tyre tree does not absorb latex or tyre milk for a long time.
01:52This tyre tree produces a type of chemical, lutein and heavy protein
01:58that will react with Ca2 plus iron.
02:01So, we use the same mechanism and adapt it to the process of modern surface
02:08to produce the self-healing tyre product.
02:13We hope that this innovation and platform
02:19will become a platform for Universiti Sains Malaysia
02:23together with RIA Technology
02:27to introduce self-healing tyre puncture proof technology to Malaysians.
