Product description

It contains unique plant-based defect repair ingredients.
It is extremely durable.
Low weight according to the recommended amount (see the application iCaffelatex + 20%).
Compatible with the use of CO2 cylinders.
Biodegradable and completely plastic-free.
Due to the low maintenance (in most cases it lasts throughout the season), it is also ideal for electric bicycles.
Easy cleaning.

Because we should all try to reduce our impact on the environment, the company Effetto Mariposa started working on a plant-based sealant that would be made on a natural basis and also very effective - just like Caffélatex - against punctures (defects). Its development took more than two years, but we can already say that Végétalex exceeded all our expectations.

The development took more than two years, but now we can say that Végétalex has exceeded our expectations.
Repairs defects on a plant basis

Most tire sealants use slowly biodegradable liquid polymers (such as natural or synthetic latex) to repair punctures; Végétalex instead contains only plant-based particles and fibers - finely ground olive pits and cellulose fibers - to provide the perfect clogging effect when punctured. This mixture, held together by xanthan gum (made from simple sugars), quickly and permanently fixes defects from small tire pores to larger defects (up to 5 mm).
Extremely durable

Durability was one of the priorities of the "Végétalex" project. Because Végétalex does not rely on the solidification of a liquid polymer to repair punctures, but on a sophisticated mixture of different shapes and sizes of natural particles with xanthan gum, it has a long "active" life inside the tires.

Starting at 3 months in extreme conditions (highly porous hot weather tires and low amount of sealant) Végétalex will maintain defect repairs for more than 6 months on most tires. Thanks to this, it is also suitable for soul applications.
Easy

Végétalex has been fine-tuned to obtain high mobility, so a small amount is enough to quickly fill the inner space of the tire.

With Végétalex, we recommend using approximately 20% more than the amount recommended by the iCaffelatex application for Caffélatex. For example, for a 29×2.10 (54-622) tubeless tire, iCaffélatex recommends a minimum of 70 ml (approx. 2 1/2 oz.) of Caffélatex or 84 ml (approx. 3 oz.) of Végélatex.
Easy maintenance

Being able to "forget" tire sealant is a tubeless tire user's dream.

Especially those of us who don't drive very often wonder if the sealant in our tires is still liquid (or not), which can spoil the driving pleasure.

We say that Végétalex is ideal for e-bikes, because with an e-bike you often have to deal with maintenance; low maintenance putty is definitely a welcome change. With more structured tires like e-bike specific tires, the Végétalex will easily last all season, so you can spend less time maintaining your bike and more time riding.
Easy cleaning

Végétalex does not contain pigments or fast-setting polymers, so it is very easy to remove from surfaces. Even when dry, Végétalex can be cleaned with soapy water and a brush.
Application: -20/+50°C (-4/+122°F)

Storage: -15/+30°C (+5/+86°F)
Végétalex lasts for 2 years after first opening the package, provided that the package is properly closed, stored out of direct sunlight and the storage temperature is within the range indicated above.

It is important to shake the bottle of Végétalex well before use.
