This Research focuses on developing a puncture proof coating on the inner liner of the tire by incorporation of nanoparticle in to the polysiloxane. Automobile has played a crucial role in the upliftment of society. This is also an important prerequisite for the progress of modern society Nanotechnology has paved new ways for innovative products. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the ideal reinforcement phase because of their aspect ratio. This study focuses on the development of thin film composed of silicone sealant and multi-walled CNT over the rubber surface that acts as puncture resistant coating this process is carried out by mechanical agitation technique. Based on the results it can be observed that incorporation of MWCNTs has led to increase in the life of tire. Optimum results were obtained in terms of tensile and hardness for the developed coating. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to identify inorganic materials in the matrix that might influence the mechanical properties under study
