Sea Otter 2017 – Slime STR Sealant and Tools

Slime has created a new formula for their famous sealant and it has a lower viscosity and is allergen-free latex for longer lasting liquid tire protection. They also have an entirely new line of tubeless tire repair and installation products, including tape, valve stems, valve cores and an excellent valve core tool that can carry two spare cores. They have upgraded a few of their CO2 inflators including the Full Metal Jacket and AirChuck+.

Slime Sealant

Slime, the leader in flat prevention, introduces their new Slime Tubeless Ready sealant (STR). The new formula is a low-viscosity, allergen-free latex for longer lasting liquid protection with wider coverage. The new sealant will cover multiple punctures up to 1/4″ and is CO2 compatible. We used technology from our auto division to formulate a longer lasting sealant. We’ve made it easier for riders to not worry about refilling their sealant every few months,” said Slime Director of Marketing and Innovation, Patrick Mallon. Our unique allergen-free blend allows the use of Co2 inflators without the sealant clumping up in the tire.” STR sealant has a new Web-Tech feature, which utilizes microfibers and special tactifying agents to better seal larger punctures. Full sealant dispersion gives wider coverage for improved contact between tire and rim.

STR sealant is available in 3oz, 16oz, 32oz and 1-gallon sizes. The 8oz, 16oz, 32oz and 1-gallon bottles include an application tube with a Presta valve adapter that attaches directly to the bottle and the valve stem. The 3oz will be in a pouch for a portable and quick application. Additional information is available at www.slime.com.
