Slime Inner Tube Sealant is engineered for continuous flat prevention in inner tubes. Its core strength lies in its Fibro-Seal technology, which actively seeks out and instantly plugs tread area punctures up to 3mm.
Cycling: On a casual bike ride, if you encounter a small thorn or piece of glass, the sealant works immediately to seal the puncture. This often happens without you even noticing significant air loss, allowing you to continue your ride uninterrupted.
Yard Work: For wheelbarrows or riding lawn mowers that frequently encounter sharp debris like thorns, small nails, or wire, the sealant provides crucial ongoing protection. This significantly reduces downtime spent on patching or replacing inner tubes.
Harsh Environments: The formula's ability to perform from -37°C to 82°C makes it reliable for use in diverse climates, from frosty mornings to scorching afternoons, ensuring your equipment is always ready.
This sealant is a proactive solution, designed to keep your tires inflated and ready to go for up to two years, effectively minimizing the hassle of frequent flat tire repairs.
Locate Valve Stem: Position the tire so the valve stem is at the top or bottom of the wheel.
Remove Valve Core: Use the valve core removal tool integrated into the bottle cap to unscrew and remove the valve core from the valve stem. Place it somewhere safe.
Attach Applicator: Shake the Slime bottle well. Attach the clear applicator tube (if provided, otherwise use the bottle spout directly) to the valve stem.
Inject Sealant: Squeeze the bottle to inject the recommended amount of sealant into the inner tube. A 473mL bottle is typically enough for two standard bicycle tubes.
Re-insert Valve Core: Once the sealant is injected, re-insert the valve core and tighten it securely with the tool.
Inflate Tire: Inflate the tire to its recommended air pressure. Spin the wheel to distribute the sealant evenly.
Compatible With: All inner tubes in vehicles such as bicycles, dirt bikes, wheelbarrows, riding lawn mowers, and other non-highway speed vehicles.
NOT Compatible With: Tubeless tire setups, tires traveling at highway speeds (greater than 45 mph), or for repairing sidewall punctures, snake bites, rim spoke punctures, or large gashes from metal or glass.
Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (though the product itself withstands them, optimal storage helps shelf life).
Regular Checks: Even with sealant, it's good practice to regularly check your tire pressure to ensure optimal performance.
Shelf Life: The sealant remains effective in the tire for up to two years after installation. Unopened, it can last longer. Info needed: [Shelf life of unopened bottle]
