Key Performance & Structural Highlights

100% Solid Ceramic Material (MOHS Hardness 7.0): Built from high-density solid ceramic that rates 7.0 on the MOHS scale of hardness (compared to 5.5 for glass competitors). Ceramic beads withstand heat and friction without breaking down into abrasive glass dust or degrading tire inner liners.

35% Larger Bead Diameter – No Filtered Valve Core Needed: ESCO beads are engineered 35% larger than conventional glass beads, allowing free air movement through standard valve stems without blocking cores or requiring special filtered valve cores.

Continuous Dynamic Re-Balancing: Operating on centrifugal force, the beads naturally migrate to the unbalanced side of the tire during rotation, continuously adjusting to weight imbalances as the tire rubber wears down naturally.

Bulk 8 kg (282 oz) Shop Bucket with Scoop: Eliminates stocking multiple individual bag sizes and reduces packaging waste. Includes a dedicated measuring scoop and application reference chart.

Universal Multi-Vehicle Fitment: Safe for commercial trucks, semi-trailers, buses, 4x4 SUVs, light commercial vans, motorcycles, and agricultural tires.
