Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tube and Tyre Sealants

Brand:Effetto Mariposa

Code:E-EMCHCL

Efetto Mariposa's Caffelatex has been widely employed at all levels across all disciplines of cycle sport and over various formats; from the humble inner-tube to modern tubeless sytems, the innovative formula will heal punctures as you ride - keeping you in the hunt for longer.

The main advantage of Caffélatex over classic latex-based sealants comes from its foaming behaviour which is activated by wheel movement. Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre while Caffélatex instead turns into foam, filling the tyre’s entire internal cavity, making the sealant much more effective against sidewall punctures. Caffélatex then returns to liquid state after around 15 minutes of stillness.

This fast sealing action makes it ideal for mountain bike and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres and can repair punctures up to 5 mm (mtb tubeless) and 3 mm (road tubeless).

Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caffélatex moves slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. Unlike other sealants, these particles are not macroscopic (e.g., glitter 150-300 microns) but are instead microscopic, less than 2 microns in diameter. Thus, Caffélatex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. As a result, puncture repair speed is especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tyres.

The 60ml bottle of Caffélatex allows direct injection through Presta valves. It is Easy to transport and ideal for road applications (60 ml / 2 ounces is the correct quantity for two 23 mm tubulars)

In addition to its flow characteristics, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant. It is completely ammonia-free, 100% tyre and rim friendly and also the perfect sealant for cyclocross/tubular applications since it does no harm to sensitive latex innertubes.

  • As a guide and using the recommended quantities for tyre size, the expected sealant lifespan is:

    • Tubular (or 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

    We recommend checking Caffélatex every 2 months, to make sure it’s liquid and therefore retains its ‘puncture preventive’ action. When dry, Caffélatex-sealed wheels are still air-tight, but Caffélatex won’t actively repair punctures.
