These particles are NOT of macroscopic size (e.g., glitter 150-300 microns) but are instead microscopic particles less than 2 microns in diameter. Thus, Caffélatex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. Puncture repair speed is especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tires.\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoaming action activated by wheel movement: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ethe first advantage of Caffélatex over classic latex-based sealants comes from a foaming agent (Actifoam™), activated by wheel movement. Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre. Caffélatex foaming action causes it to fill the tyre’s entire internal cavity , making it much more effective against sidewall punctures.\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePuncture-repairing action:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres.
