Squirt SEAL Tyre Sealant - 5L Bottle + 100ml BeadBlock Particles

Squirt SEALwith BeadBlock is an ammonia-free latex solution which contains natural microfibres and BeadBlock particles. Together they form a permanent, reinforced rubber plug in punctures up to 6mm. It will not let sidewalls stick together and contains corrosion inhibitors. Suitable for use from -20 C to +40 C

If swallowed or allergic reaction, seek medical advice if necessary

Why it works?

SEAL's mode of action is based on three components: latex, micro-fibres and BeadBlock granules. Synthetic latex liquid (ammonia-free) forms the base in which the microfibres are suspended and BeadBlock granules added. In the 120ml size pouch, the BeadBlock granules are pre-added and only have to be added when the 1 litre and 5 litre sizes are used. On sudden pressure change (when you get a puncture), the liquid rubber quickly solidifies around the hole in the tyre. If it does not seal at once, the microfibers will start plugging the hole and in case of a puncture made by an object with a diameter of up to 6mm, the BeadBlock granules will do the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more BeadBlock granules than the recommended amount?

Yes, you can. There is an optimum level though, where-after more granules will not seal more effectively

What is the recommended amount of BeadBlock granules to add?

We recommend 3-5ml per 100ml-150ml as per the instructions on the label

Will the use of a CO cartridge affect the sealant?

CO can be used in emergencies with sealant, bearing in mind that the cartridge should only be activated with the valve at the top (i.e., 12 o'clock) position. The cold blast of gas directly into the sealant can lead to local solidification of most latex-based sealants with resulting lumps

SEAL liquid was translucent (not white or caramel coloured) when I opened my tyre. Why does this happen?

The latex part of the sealant was absorbed into the tyre to seal rubber porosity, especially in tubeless-ready tyres and thin-walled racing tyres which are more porous. This seals the side walls and less frequent air top-ups will be required. Remove the remainder of the translucent liquid in the tyre and top-up with fresh sealant

SEAL turns a caramel-coloured after some weeks in the tyre. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal no cause for concern

SEAL formed lumps and pieces of solid rubber in the tyre - why does this happen?

In rare cases, the sealant might solidify prematurely to form solid pieces of rubber in the tyre. This is due to two factors; chemical contamination and CO bombing with the valve at 6 o'clock (bottom) position. Chemical contamination usually occurs from the mold release agent used during the manufacturing of tyres. New tyres should be cleaned properly with liquid soap and rinsed with water to remove manufacturing chemical residue

The second probable cause for solids formation (bombing at 6 o'clock position) is due to the extreme cold stream of CO jetting into the puddle of sealant at the bottom of the tyre. The sealant can handle sub-zero temperatures to -4 (-20 ) without freezing, but not that which comes from the sudden expansion of the high-pressure gas into the immediate surrounding low-pressure atmosphere into the puddle. This causes the sealant emulsion to solidify, hence forming lumps

Will Squirt SEAL Sealant with BeadBlock clog up my valves after a couple of weeks?

No, it does not clog up the valves from the inside and you will be able to top-up at any time and also inflate as you need
