Product Information

After switching sharp implements, he reinflated the tyre to 80psi. Between sealants, Will cleaned and patched the tyre. Only works on tubeless tires; doesn't work on tubular tires, nor in clincher tires with inner tubes

Orange Seal is the least dense sealant tested, adding the least amount of weight to the tire setup. Since it doesn't claim to seal holes as large as the Race sealant, with the Standard sealant, you're more likely to have to interrupt your ride to seal and re-inflate your tire for bigger punctures. You can continue to expect small holes, like those from thorns, to seal on the fly with either. You might also call it their "classic" or "regular" formula tire sealant. Unlike the Race sealant, you can inject the Standard sealant right through removable core Schrader and presta valves. Most sealants use the coagulating properties of natural latex to clog punctures. Latex is a dispersion of polymers (long-chain molecules) in either water or a water-based solution of ammonia. Inside a hole in the tyre, the air pressure drops and there is a rush of air. This causes the water/ammonia solution to evaporate, leaving the latex molecules to coagulate (knit together), plugging the hole.The quantity and size of crystals in this special formula means that Stan's Race Sealant can only be installed directly into the tire. As a result of its immense sealing capabilities, Race Sealant is not compatible with injector or other valve installation methods. Race sealant should be inspected every 2-3 weeks for best performance. Be sure to rinse race sealant out of used tires intended to be stored/reinstalled. Most have liquid latex in them. If you have a non tubeless tyre that you want to set up as tubeless you really want to use a latex based product as the tyre side wall will be porous and the bead to rim interface will be pretty rubbish. Therefore you need a glue like liquid ( latex ) to dry in all these imperfections to create a seal. The tubeless sealants that sealed the biggest holes, or held the most pressure with a given size of hole, were deemed to perform the best. Stan's NoTubes tire sealant is one of the most popular tire sealant solutions on the market today. It's become so ubiquitous, in fact, that many riders automatically think of the Stan's NoTubes brand when someone says "tire sealant", the way "Xerox" is synonymous with "photocopy."

Finally, I’ll note that Stans was one of just two sealants that completely sealed the hole without the need for a tire plug in between tests, as verified with a bubble test.Stan’s Race Sealant is definitely worth the small premium over the standard blend. Our heaviest-hitting test riders swear by this stuff – a potent magic formula that heals cuts and makes holes vanish. Stan’s No Tubes Race Sealant is expensive, but contains twice as many sealing crystals and uses bigger particles that can make larger holes air tight. Latex-based and natural, Stan’s is one of the first and best-known tyre sealants. Its popular original formula is proven to work without the familiar issues of drying out prematurely or simply not being able to plug small holes and rips in damaged tyres. The larger crystals are very evident in the fluid, categorised by long strand-like shapes. This will mean the only option for installation is to pour directly into the tyre and not through the valve. This is something I would always recommend, and there are various other sealants that also require this. One worrying fact given by Stan’s No Tubes is to inspect the sealant every 2-3 weeks for best performance.
