Product Description
Caff�latex is a truly innovative tyre sealant, successfully used on and off (MTB, cyclocross) road, for tubeless, tubular and inner-tube applications.CharacteristicsImproved formula (since January 2012):Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caff�latex now moves more slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. These particles are NOT of macroscopic size (e.g., glitter 150-300 microns) but are instead microscopic particles less than 2 microns in diameter. Thus, Caff�latex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. Puncture repair speed is up to 5 times faster, an improvement especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tiresFoaming action activated by wheel movement:The first advantage of Caff�latex over classic latex-based sealants comes from a foaming agent (Actifoam�), activated by wheel movement. Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre. Caff�latex foaming action causes it to fill the tyre�s entire internal cavity , making it much more effective against sidewall punctures.Puncture-repairing action:Its fast sealing action makes Caff�latex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres. Caff�latex repairs punctures up to 5 mm (mtb) and 3 mm (road).Stable over time:Thanks to its formula, Caff�latex is a very stable and durable sealant, but we know this is highly dependable on kind of application and external conditions.Using the recommended quantities for tyre size, the expected sealant lifespan is:Tubular (or Caff�latex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube): 1-2 yearsUST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 monthsTubeless-ready tyre: 2-4 monthsTube-type tyre: 2-3 monthsNevertheless, in the impossibility of knowing our customers� specific application (kind of wheel/tyre set-up, tyre sidewall thickness and porosities, external temperature and humidity, bicycle storage conditions�), we recommend checking Caff�latex every 2 months, to make sure it�s liquid and therefore retains its �puncture preventive� action.When dry, Caff�latex-sealed wheels are still air-tight, but Caff�latex won�t actively repair punctures.Not corrosive:being completely ammonia-free, its 100% tyre and rim friendly. It�s also a favourite sealant for cyclocross/tubular applications, creating no harm to the sensitive latex inner tubes.Usage and storage temperatures:From very cold to very hot, exceeding by far those of first-generation latex sealants (usage: -20/+50�C ~ storage: -15/ +30�C).Recommended quantities:30 to 50 ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50 ml for mtb tyres up to 26�2.10/29�2.00; 60 to 100 ml for mtb tyres over 26�2.10/29�2.00.Sizes:60ml pouch, 250ml or 1000ml bottles or 10 litre workshop tub
