Vitamina CL 200ml (sealant enhancing)

Features/Usage:

• added to Caffélatex, Vitamina CL particles help fixing bigger punctures
• precisely tuned particle size and density, for optimal dispersion within the sealant
• race-day performance on demand, keeping standard Caffélatex as (good as) it is
• the mixing happens directly inside the tire, avoiding uneven dispersion of bottled sealant + particles

CHARACTERISTICS:

What it is:

Vitamina CL (or V-CL) is a polymeric powder with a very precise particle size and density, to easily mix with Caffélatex.

How it works:

Added directly inside the tire to our sealant, 10% of V-CL (for example 5 ml of V-CL for 50 ml of Caffélatex) increases the maximum repairable puncture size from 4 5 mm to 8 mm (and more), with shorter repairing time and lower pressure loss.

Extensive field testing with sponsored teams has proven V-CL is easy to work with and it doesn t compromise Caffélatex durability. Still, we target V-CL to racing applications and recommend a more frequent tire-valve maintenance when using Caffélatex in conjunction with V-CL.

How to use it:

The bigger particles of Vitamina CL won t pass through the valve easily, so the best practice is as follows:

• with the tire mounted on the rim, open it on one side on a 10 cm length and add Caffélatex (for a precise recommended quantity given the tyre type and size click here).
• pour 10% of V-CL directly on the Caffélatex pool inside the tire.
  V-CL comes with a 5 ml measuring spoon in the jar. If the recommended quantity of sealant for the specific tire is for example 100 ml, then 2 spoons (10 ml) of V-CL should be added. It s important to pour V-CL on the sealant, to wet the powder and help it spread evenly;
• remount, inflate, ride

Why we created it:

Caffélatex is a reliable, well-functioning sealant. Professional athletes and normal cyclists worldwide use it and love it: it can be injected through the valve, doesn t contain ammonia and foams up when agitated, with an optimal covering of the internal tire surface.

Especially professional cyclists (but also us mortals) sometimes wish they had a better sealant for race day or an important event. Instead of adding a more concentrated (and less durable) sealant to our offering, we opted to develop a specific stand alone product, to boost the puncture repairing ability of Caffélatex on demand. One jar of Vitamina CL is enough to enhance 2000 ml of Caffélatex.

Sizes:

Vitamina CL comes in re-selable jars of 200 ml, with a 5 ml spoon. One jar of V-CL is enough additive for 2000 ml of Caffélatex.
