Tubeless sealant has a habit of ending up where it shouldn't. Caffélatex Remover softens and dissolves dried-out natural or synthetic latex so you can lift it off frames, kit and valves without scrubbing the paint.

Highlights

  • Dissolves dried natural and synthetic latex sealant
  • Works on metals, painted surfaces and many fabrics
  • Frees tubeless valve mechanisms blocked by dried sealant
  • Contains no dangerous or flammable chemicals, per Effetto Mariposa
  • Made in Italy

On frames and hard surfaces

Apply a droplet to the stain, wait 10 to 20 seconds, then wipe the stain away. Repeat if needed and rinse with water afterwards.

On clothing

The formula comes from the dry-cleaning industry. Apply a droplet, give it a minute or more to soften the latex, then brush it out and rinse. Results depend on how much sealant the fabric has absorbed, so some fabrics won't come fully clean.

On tubeless valves

Apply a droplet to the valve tip and work the mechanism so the remover penetrates, then rinse with water. It is strong enough to free a valve core gummed up by dried sealant.

Compatibility & fit

Suits latex-based tubeless sealants such as Caffélatex. Effetto Mariposa recommends testing on a small hidden area first, and wiping away any excess that reaches stickers or decals straight away, as some decals may dissolve. Causes serious eye irritation: wear gloves and eye protection.

Effetto Mariposa products are covered against defects in materials and manufacture. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with the brand's Australian distributor.
