Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caffélatex 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. Please read the MBUK's Six of the best guide to tyre sealants. Thus, Caffélatex 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 tyres. Recommended quantities: 30 to 50ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50ml for mtb tyres up to 26x2.10/29x2.00; 60 to 100ml for mtb tyres over 26x2.10/29x2.00.

Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex ZOT! Nano Tyre SealantCaffélatex Zot! is an instant polymerisation catalyser for Caffélatex, useful in cases of significant tyre damage such as when the damage size exceeds the maximum sealable by normal tyre sealants (around 5mm) and Caffélatex sealant escapes the hole without repairing it.Simply inject Zot! through the damaged area to solidify the Caffélatex inside and repair damages up to 10mm (well above the capacity of any liquid sealant).Caffélatex Zot! Nano 10ml is the Road/XC racer version of the original Zot! 30ml. The Caffélatex-specific catalyser is contained inside a small, flexible blister ending with a 1cm-long x 1mm-diameter metal needle, activating Caffélatex (or Espresso) with surgical precision even on sensitive high-pressure tyres/tubulars. Features: Instantly solidifies localised Caffélatex to mend tyre damage measuring 5-10mm in size Metal needle allows precise injection of Zot! into the site of small punctures Small, lightweight bottle contains enough to get you out of trouble Can be re-sealed with a practical silicone plug for further uses Fits under the bottle cage with special holding clip (supplied)Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
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.
