Top Features:

  • Replacement 1000ml bottle
  • Its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres
  • Caffélatex repairs punctures up to 5mm (MTB) and 3mm (road)

Stable over time

  • Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant, but Effetto know this is highly dependable on kind of application and external conditions. Using the recommended quantities for tyre size, the expected sealant lifespan is:
  • Tubular (or Caffélatex 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
  • Effetto 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

Description

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.

Customer Reviews

Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tyre Sealant (1000ml) is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 25.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Not as good as stans but pretty close as it's cheaper and don't need as much in the tyre. Seals most things eventually but doesn't like co2 in the tyre, turns it to cottage cheese!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sealant Good sealant in TLR application, does gunge up valves a bit. I used this in Latex inner tubes as well, latex basis apparently allows for compatibility - it works but will ultimately trash the inner tube, but then again that's not what this product is strictly for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Value for Money If you are reading this review, you may be new to tubeless setups. For its size and efficiency, it's a well priced product. Size is perfect as you may need a little extra if it's your first time as you may spill the product while moving it to the syringe. If you're experienced, it's a fast acting product. Topping up wheels in the future is taken cared of by the big packaging of this item.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Buy No Other Brand I have been tubeless for my road and mountain bike for 2 years.Using all the well known brands. I have found that tyre sealants seem to work better in MTB tires than road possibly due to the lower pressures needed. For my road bike the experience has been mixed.For thorns and very small punctures these sealants work as expected.For larger cuts,a plug or even an innertube was necessary. I had a road tire which bled a small amount of sealant,it would not seal completely although tire pressure was within acceptable limits. After reading reviews about Caffelatex,I replaced my sealant and the bleeding stopped instantly,the tire pressure is approximately 95 psi. I have had 3 punctures since in foul weather conditions. The first sealed instantly.the second required a plug and the third required 2 plugs.All repairs are sound.This stuff really works!

Can this sealant be applied through a valve (core removed) without clogging / sealing?

Asked by: wegoagain
This can be injected through the valve core using the Effetto Caffe Latex Injector. This should not clog the valve as long as you make sure the valve is free of solution before screwing back together.
