Shaler History

Over a Century of Innovation in Leak Repair
Shaler has been a trusted name in leak repair and system protection for more than 110 years. Founded in 1904, the company introduced the original Shaler Vulcanizer – a groundbreaking product that set the standard for tire and tube repair. As noted in The Milwaukee Journal in 1914, “Double your mileage with Shaler Vulcanizer… it makes the repair the strongest part of the tire.” From the beginning, Shaler has focused on solving real-world problems with practical, effective solutions.
Over the decades, Shaler’s stop leak technology has expanded far beyond tires. Our products have been successfully used in everything from automotive systems to industrial equipment, locomotives, and even nuclear submarines. Today, that same spirit of innovation powers products like Rink Seal Pro™ – delivering cutting-edge performance to ice rinks and underfloor systems that demand reliability, efficiency, and zero downtime.
When it comes to sealing leaks and protecting critical systems, Shaler doesn’t just meet expectations – we define them.
After years of working directly with ice rinks to address coolant leaks, Shaler developed Rink Seal Pro™ – a formula engineered specifically for under-ice systems. It not only seals active leaks in both cooling and heating loops but also serves as a long-term preventative maintenance solution that improves overall system performance.
Shaler is committed to minimizing environmental impact. That’s why Rink Seal Pro™ is formulated with organic, environmentally responsible materials – safe for your facility and the planet.
When you choose Shaler, you’re not just getting a product. You’re getting more than a century of leak-sealing expertise trusted by industries worldwide.
