We improved this behavior by adding a precise percentage of microscopic silica particles (less than 2 microns, 0.002 mm), so that Caffélatex moves slowly through holes, giving it more time to repair the puncture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eThe high speed of puncture repair is especially useful with lightweight or thin-casing tires, making Caffélatex ideal for performance-oriented cyclists, for road and off-road cycling, with tubeless, tubular, and inner tubes. Caffélatex repairs holes up to 5 mm (off-road tubeless tires) and 3 mm (road tubeless tires).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eFor cyclists seeking ultimate puncture protection, we created the Vitamin CL additive for Caffélatex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eFoaming behavior activated by wheel movement\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eDuring the engineering of Caffélatex and its formula, we discovered that a foaming behavior (changing from liquid to foam when shaken, activated by wheel movement) was a great advantage in terms of distribution ability inside the tire cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eWhen wheels spin, centrifugal force pushes traditional liquid sealants against the outermost circumference inside the tire. Caffélatex, turning into foam, tends to fill the entire internal cavity of the tire, making it available and effective even in case of sidewall punctures. Caffélatex returns to liquid state after about 15 minutes of rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eDurability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eCompared to other “latex-like” sealants, Caffélatex is very stable and durable, although its lifespan is strongly influenced by the type of tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eUsing the recommended amount for tire size\/type, the expected lifespan of Caffélatex is:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubular (Caffélatex inserted in latex or butyl inner tube, not TPU): up to 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUST Tubeless tire: 2-6 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubeless-ready tire: 1-4 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubular-type tire: 1-3 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eWithout knowing specific conditions (wheel\/tire type, tire thickness and porosity, external temperature and humidity, bicycle storage conditions…), we recommend checking Caffélatex every 2 months to ensure it is liquid and thus guarantees its preventive puncture protection action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eWhen the liquid is dry, wheels sealed with Caffélatex are still airtight, but Caffélatex will no longer actively repair punctures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eNon-toxic, non-corrosive, non-allergenic\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eCaffélatex does not contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals: this feature also makes it the preferred sealant for cyclocross\/tubular applications, as it causes no damage to sensitive latex inner tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eWARNING: oxidation of aluminum rims can occur due to the water content of the sealant, and happens when the metal surface is not painted\/anodized or covered by rim-strip or tubeless tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eBecause its formula is synthetic, Caffélatex does not trigger allergic reactions in people allergic to natural rubber latex products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eUsage and storage temperature recommendations\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eOperating temperatures: -20 \/ + 50 °C\u003cbr\u003eStorage temperatures: -15 \/ + 30 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eCaffélatex has a shelf life of 2 years from the first bottle opening, provided the bottle is properly closed and stored away from direct sunlight, and the storage temperature is within the range indicated above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003eTo check if the liquid inside a bottle of Caffélatex is still effective, even after a long time since first opening:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"accordion-cont\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe liquid should have a homogeneous viscosity (no solid pieces or obvious separation between lighter and denser liquid);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-second test: wet thumb and forefinger in liquid Caffélatex, press them together for ten seconds then release: if it starts to form a solid layer, it still works properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Effetto Mariposa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56649108783484,"sku":"EMCHCL1000","price":20.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2051\/6162\/files\/effetto_95603c6f-cd72-47f2-b51c-04b141a3ca8d.jpg?v=1776435511","url":"https:\/\/evolutionbikes.com\/products\/liquido-sigillante-antiforatura-effetto-mariposa-caffelatex-1000ml","provider":"Evolution Bikes IT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
