The Vegetalex from Effetto Mariposa is a plant-based tyre sealant with all natural repairing ingredients. Plant-based puncture repairing ingredientsLightweight & Extremely durableCompatible with the use of CO2 cartridgesBiodegradable and totally plastic freeLow maintenanceEasy to cleanWhy we created it - Our tyre sealant Caffélatex has a strong palmarès of victories to demonstrate its performance, together with a solid and constantly growing base of happy users, worldwide. As we should all do our best to reduce our impact on the environment, we started working on a plant-based sealant that was both good with nature and very effective similar to Caffélatex - against punctures. It took us more than two years of development, but we can now say Vegetalex has exceeded our expectations.Plant-based puncture repairing ingredients - Most tyre sealants employ slowly biodegradable liquid polymers (like natural or synthetic latex) to repair punctures; Vegetalex instead contains only plant-based particles and fibres - finely ground olive stones and cellulose fibres - to deliver a tremendous puncture clogging effect. This mix, held together by xanthan gum (produced from simple sugars), fixes punctures ranging from small tyre porosities to bigger cuts (up to 5 mm) fast and in a permanent way.Extremely durable - Durability was one of the priorities for the Vegetalex project. As it doesn t rely on the solidification of a liquid polymer to fix punctures, rather on a sophisticated mix of different shapes and sizes of natural particles with xanthan gum, Vegetalex has a long active lifespan inside tyres. Starting at 3 months in worst-case scenarios (very porous tyres in hot weather and small quantity of sealant), Vegetalex will keep repairing punctures for more than 6 months inside most tyres. This makes it also suitable for inner-tube applications.Lightweight - Vegetalex has been finely tuned to obtain a high mobility, so that a small quantity goes a long way in terms of coverage of the inner surface of the tyre. For Vegetalex, we suggest using about 20% more than the quantities recommended by the iCaffelatex app for Caffélatex. As an example, for a 29x2.10 (54-622) tubeless-ready tyre iCaffelatex recommends a minimum of 70 ml (approx. 2 ½ oz.) of Caffélatex or 84 ml (approx. 3 oz.) of Vegetalex.Compatible with the use of CO2 cartridges - Vegetalex isn t damaged by the use of CO2 cartridges.Biodegradable and totally plastic free - Vegetalex doesn t contain ammonia or other aggressive chemicals, nor is it toxic or corrosive. Vegetalex doesn t contain macro or micro plastics, no rubber particles (please note: recycled rubber decomposes very slowly!), no aramid fibres (that will remain in the environment for a long time...): all the ingredients of Vegetalex are highly biodegradable. Vegetalex doesn t trigger allergic reactions in people who are allergic to products made with natural rubber latex. However, it may contain traces of nut.Low maintenance - Being able to forget about tyre sealant is the dream of tubeless tyre users. Especially those of us who don t ride too often, wondering whether the sealant is still liquid inside our tyres (or not) is a worry that can spoil the pleasure of a ride. We say that Vegetalex is ideal for e-bikes because e-bikers often have to deal with more complex machines, batteries, and electronics; a sealant that s low maintenance is surely a welcome change. Using more structured tyres, like those specific for e-bikes, Vegetalex will easily last a full season of riding, so that you can spend less time doing bicycle maintenance and more time riding.Easy to clean - Vegetalex doesn t contain pigments or quickly solidifying polymers so it is very easy to remove from surfaces. Even when dry, Vegetalex can be cleaned with soapy water and a brush.Additional tips - It s important to shake Vegetalex bottle well before injecting the sealant into tyres. If extra protection is needed - for example taking a multiple days ride on rocky, thorny terrain we suggest adding 30 ml of product to the recommended quantity.
