Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Effetto Caffelatex sealant 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, Caffelatex 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 tires. Foaming action activated by wheel movement: The first advantage of Caffelatex 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. Caffelatex 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 Caffelatex 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, Caffelatex 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 Caffelatex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube): 1-2 years UST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 months Tubeless-ready tyre: 2-4 months Tube-type tyre: 2-3 months Nevertheless, 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 Caffelatex every 2 months, to make sure it's liquid and therefore retains its 'puncture preventive' action. When dry, Caffelatex-sealed wheels are still air-tight, but Caffelatex won't actively repair punctures. Not corrosive: being completely ammonia-free, it is 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 degreeC ~ storage: -15/ +30 degreeC). Recommended quantities: 30 to 50 ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50 ml for mtb tyres up to 26in 2.10/29in 2.00; 60 to 100 ml for mtb tyres over 26in 2.10/29in 2.00. Sizes: 250ml or 1000ml bottles Improved formula Foaming action activated by wheel movement Puncture-repairing action Stable over time Not corrosive. With tubeless tyres becoming more and more prevalent, never has there been a better time to invest in tyre sealant. Effetto Mariposa's Caffelatex Tyre Sealant is an innovative sealant that has long been proven at the highest level on and off-road. Highly effective tyre sealant that lasts up to 2 years in a tubular tyre. Foaming action when wheel is turning helps to prevent punctures. Microscopic silicate particles also help to provide quicker sealing, resulting in less air loss when you puncture. Seals holes up to 5mm on an MTB tubeless tyre. Contains no ammonia and is non-corrosive, making it safe to use in tubular tyres. Caffelatex's formula contains microscopic silicate particles, allowing the sealant more time to seal holes up to 5mm. These particles are so small, at less than 2 microns in diameter, that the sealant is still highly fluid and easily coats the inside of your tyre or tubular. The formula also has a foaming action when the wheel is spinning, further helping to improve the sealing of any punctures. Not only is Caffelatex sealant highly effective at sealing punctures, it is also incredibly durable. Thanks to its innovative formula, the sealant can last up to 2 years depending on the application and the external conditions. When using the sealant in a tubular tyre with a latex inner tube, you can expect the sealant to last between 1-2 years. For tubeless-ready tyres the sealant lasts 4-6 months, so you can go a long time between fill ups and enjoy puncture-free riding for months on end before you need to check if the sealant has dried out. Durable, reliable and excellent at sealing punctures, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex tyre sealant is some of the best you can buy.
