Tire bead sealants come in two types. The first is intended for processing the bead ring of a tubeless tire before installing it on the rim. The second type of bead sealants for tires is applied when roughening the tire, which slightly damages its layer, which ensures the tightness of the inner volume of the wheel. Some sealants and others are more necessary for workers and owners of tire workshops, where the relevant work is carried out on a large (industrial) scale. Moreover, as a rule, the volume of packaging of these products is quite large.
The store offers a variety of tire rim sealants (sometimes called mastic or wax). They are selected based on information about their type, properties, and conditions of use, and price and volume come last, because the main thing is that the sealant for installing a tubeless tube is of high quality. In addition, it is useful to take into account reviews and tests about sealants for rims of tubeless tires, left by specialists on various resources on the Internet. The following material presents a non-advertising rating of such popular products used by tire shop workers. It looks like this:
| Product name | Brief description and features | Package volume, ml/mg | Price as of winter 2018/2019, rubles |
| Tip Top Side Seal | One of the most popular onboard sealants. The main advantage is its gel-like state in which it is located in the tire. This makes it possible not only to seal it on the wheel rim, but also if damaged, the sealant flows to the puncture site and immediately seals it. | 1 liter; 5 liters. | 700 rubles; 2500 rubles |
| Bead sealant TECH Bead Sealer | Typically used in professional tire shops. Can be used for processing rubber of cars and trucks. A 945 ml can is enough to process 68...70 wheels with a diameter of 13 to 16 inches. | 945 | 1000 |
| Bead Sealer Rossvik | Domestic popular sealant, used for treating tires of cars and trucks. The packaging includes an application brush. It comes off the surface well when removing rubber from the rim. | 500 ml; 1000 ml | 300 rubles; 600 rubles. |
| Bead sealant for tubeless tires BHZ | Widely used in the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet countries. Using sealant, you can “heal” cracks up to 3 mm in size, but to do this it must be applied in two or three layers with intermediate drying of each of them. The package includes a brush for easy application of the product to the surface to be treated. | 800 | 500 |
| Side sealant with Unicord brush | An inexpensive and fairly effective tire bead sealant based on airtight rubber. Often used by small tire shops. | 1000 | 500 |
DIY tire bead sealant
1. Life is given once, and it must be lived in such a way as not to make mistakes in the recipes.
2. There are no equivalents in the world of components, as the ancients said, and they knew what they were saying. (Venedikt Erofeev, “Moscow-Petushki”). interesting thing truckerco sealant: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PY2248/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3FRFYVV65AYFX they write that this is the same Stens, only much cheaper. The question, however, is the cost of delivery from the states.
and homemade, yes, it would be interesting, but there’s nowhere to get latex.
There is no place to get latex. Latex is used for makeup.
its price = the price of normal Stans sealant, for example. Well, it’s 20-25%, judging by https://thegpsgeek.com/blog/archives/260
where to buy slime, it's a rarer thing.
Withstands vibration, temperature changes, high pressure, does not wash out, does not dissolve. :good:
Try installing a tubeless tire with it, then write about the results.

0.5 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/500ml-17-oz-TruckerCo-Cream-High-Performance-latex-tubeless-tire-tyre-sealant-/260938651318) 1.0 (https://www.ebay .com/itm/1-liter-34-oz-TruckerCo-Cream-High-Performance-latex-tubeless-tire-tyre-sealant-/260938473725)
I, too, once thought about bothering with self-propelled guns. I think the advantage is that you need less of it per gram, less than a gram. In our auto stores they sell hygiar sealant, I pour 100 grams per side. I’m 100% sure of it. I even had a nail go in, I pulled it out, pumped up the wheel a little and drove another 70 km..
By the way, according to your money, it costs 220 rubles for 480 ml - and that’s two bikes
advantages: 1. excellent protection 2. does not dry out in rubber, beaded and inflated, pump up in winter. 3. The rubber is easy to clean after dismantling. If the tire is lying around and it’s dry 4. If I change the tires, then I scooped out the old hygiar and then carried it on. I weighed the rubber with the sealant, I need to top it up..
disadvantages: 1. you need to top it up, because less than 90 grams worked worse 2. you need more of it than a specialized one
Also, tell me, are rubber penises with vaginas rare for you? but this is definitely rare for us)
the haijiara also lasted me a long time. there was still some left in the bottle and the season began.. 100 grams were gone when the tires exploded at the race. And it’s so profitable and practical
Does 100 g of liquid always splash? This stuff is pretty thick. It takes a long time to smudge inside.
True, I shoved about 50-60 ml into the chamber.
At first I didn’t like the Hi-Gear sealant - the fault was that the consistency was too thick
Then I tried diluting it with water, and its performance improved noticeably - both beads and small/medium punctures began to be sealed well
I dilute it with water in a 1 to 1 ratio. During operation, the sealant naturally dries out, but has a good property of restoring its structure and properties after simply adding water, so during the operation of the tire I simply add a little water when I stop hearing splashing inside the tire
One filling of sealant with periodic addition of water is enough for almost the entire service life of the tire. And even after dismantling the worn rubber, the sealant clots can again be diluted with water, completely restoring the performance of the mixture, and used further

Update information: having pumped up to 2.5 after the ride and arrived home, I noticed that the poisoning had stopped.
Even without a camera, my nipple was cut off. when I didn’t notice in time that I had taken off my shoes.
It was necessary to drift less simply))
They smeared me with salidol and it was fine
Why didn't you install cameras? I read that you have to have a tubeless tube to etch your tires. And who is so smart who told you this? I set 500 with cameras and also asked the master to miss the mark. He said, “that the wheel will be 80 rubles more expensive.” To which I replied, “go ahead.” I smeared it with some kind of special fuel oil (I don’t know the name). Missed both sides. I also heard that they smear it with some kind of “glass glue”. But there, according to rumors, you can only cut down the cover with an ax.
If there’s a camera standing there, you’re going to shoot it, and then you’re going to sort out the shit, then it’ll definitely cut off your nipple.
The camera is less likely to be messed with. During my stay I never disassembled it. It's up to you.
Place your camera and feel free to go up to o.5, although Safari has its own specifics))))
What exactly are the specifics, please expand on the topic?
specificity is that the quality is not stable and different kits behave differently
I didn't notice any difference from deflated to 0.5 and inflated to 1.5. The ride is just 0.5 softer.
Or badlocks or ride at 2.5 pressure. Everything else is bullshit. The glass glue will also fall off, not immediately, but it will fall off. Dirt and sand will clog in any way...
The stupidest things are usually written in a peremptory tone...
