- Végétalex is a revolutionary tyre sealant, biodegradable and totally plastic free: great for the environment, long lasting, and providing a high degree of puncture protection for tubeless, tubular and inner-tube applications
- Plant-based puncture protection: utilizes olive stones and cellulose fibers for effective sealing up to 5mm.
- Long-lasting and versatile: suitable for tubeless, tubular, and inner-tube applications.
Végétalex is a revolutionary tyre sealant, biodegradable and totally plastic free: great for the environment, long lasting, and providing a high degree of puncture protection for tubeless, tubular and inner-tube applications.
Most tyre sealants employ slowly biodegradable liquid polymers (like natural or synthetic latex) to repair punctures; Végétalex instead contains only plant-based particles and fibers – finely ground olive stones and cellulose fibers – 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.
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 Végétalex has exceeded our expectations.
FEATURES:
• Unique plant-based puncture repairing ingredients (that’s why we call it Végétalex).
• Extremely durable.
• Adds little weight to wheels, following the suggested quantities (see iCaffelatex app + 20%).
• Compatible with the use of CO2 cartridges.
• Biodegradable and totally plastic free.
• Being very low maintenance (in most cases, it will last a full season of riding) it’s ideal also for e-bikes.
• Easy to clean.
Durability was one of the priorities for the “Végétalex” 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, Végétalex has a long ‘active’ lifespan inside tyres.
