This product is an eco-friendly choice that can seal even the largest punctures and ensure an uninterrupted ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the puncture is sealed, the section of the tire will have a carbon fiber reinforced latex area that connects the top and bottom of the hole. This reduces the chances of future punctures in that region compared to other sealant additives such as cornmeal, glitter, or fiberglass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe superior sealing and hole reinforcement capabilities of carbon fiber allow for a more concentrated level of anti-freeze agents in the sealant, enabling more effective sealing in low-temperature conditions (-7deg C for 6mm holes).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the sealant lasts longer (7-9 months, depending on humidity) due to the carbon fiber's enhanced capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replenish the sealant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor optimal performance and to maximmise the sealant's life, we suggest adding replenisher every 90-120 days, depending on the temperature and humidity in your area, to refresh the sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"SILCA sealant replenisher frequency\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echelonsports.com.au\/documents\/silca-year-schedule.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplenisher can also be used to renew sealant on highly porous tires during initial installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing some casing tires, the sidewalls may experience weeping, which can reduce the sealant volume by 30% and accelerate the aging of the sealant. By adding 30-50% of the sealant volume with the replenisher, you can ensure the ideal performance and durability. While using CO2 temporarily to seat the tire is possible, it should be released and replaced with a floor pump to preserve the sealant's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUltimate Tubeless Sealant + Replenisher Quantity per Tyre\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eINITIAL\u003cbr\u003eUltimate Tyre Sealant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e1ST\u003cbr\u003eReplenisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e2ND\u003cbr\u003eReplenisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003e3RD\u003cbr\u003eReplenisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22-30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-45 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45-60 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e118 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e118 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25''-3''\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFAT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e177 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e118 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e177 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in 236 mL, 473 mL, or 946 mL bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective down to -12C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals 7.5mm holes for up to 6 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot injector compatible – this product seals holes bigger than your valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.echelonsports.com.au\/SI_or_160891\/ULTIMATE-TUBELESS-SEALANT-REPLENISHER\/pd.php\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eReplenisher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eevery 90-120 days for best performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6, 9, and 12mm recycled carbon fibers pieces are dispersed evenly by a foaming latex to create ultra strong seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCO2 can be used to seat tyres but should be removed as soon as possible and replaced with air to preserve life of sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43052778127405,"sku":"10048412","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/files\/SI160884.jpg?v=1727402574","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/silca-ultimate-tubeless-sealant-with-fibre-foam-473ml","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
