Caffelatex is a truly innovative tyre sealant and puncture preventive. The first of its advantages over standard 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. Its fast sealing action makes Caff?latex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres: it repairs punctures up to 6mm (mtb) and 3mm (road).
Thanks to its formula, Caffelatex is a very stable and durable sealant, but we know this is highly depending on kind of application and external conditions. During field-testing it stayed liquid for over 12 months in thick-casing tubeless tyres on UST wheels. Nevertheless, in the impossibility of knowing riders specific application (kind of wheel/tyre set-up, tyre sidewall thickness and porosities, external temperature and humidity, bicycle storage conditions…), check your 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.
