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.
