Q: What is ProGuard Ballast?
A: ProGuard Ballast is a clean, clear, and odorless liquid tire ballast made with crop-friendly magnesium
chloride. It provides consistent traction, protects against corrosion, and performs in cold weather—making
it ideal for agricultural, construction, and industrial equipment.
Q: Why should I use a liquid tire ballast instead of traditional weights?
A: Liquid ballast evenly distributes weight inside the tire, keeping its shape rounded for better traction,
stability, and longer tire life. Unlike solid weights, it reduces wheel hop, tire spin, and soil compaction.

Q: How does ProGuard Ballast prevent corrosion?
A: ProGuard Ballast contains corrosion inhibitors that protect rims and valves from rust and oxidation. It
keeps your tires and wheels looking new season after season.
Q: Is ProGuard Ballast safe for crops and the environment?
A: Yes. It's non-toxic, crop-friendly, and eco-conscious, engineered with magnesium chloride instead of
toxic chemicals. It's safe for farm use and minimizes environmental impact when compared to traditional
ballasting fluids.
Q: What happens if I use a product without a corrosion inhibitor?
A: Without inhibitors, moisture and salts can corrode rims and fittings—leading to premature failure and
costly repairs. ProGuard Ballast prevents this with built-in protection.
Q: How much ballast fluid do I need per tire?
A: The amount depends on tire size and the desired fill level (typically 70-75% of tire volume). Your dealer
or the Innovative team can help calculate exact volumes for your equipment.
Q: Can ProGuard Ballast be used in all types of equipment?
A: Yes. It's ideal for tractors, loaders, skid steers, backhoes, and other heavy-duty off-road vehicles that
require improved traction and stability.
