Overview

What does the SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover break down?

The SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover is a water-based, biodegradable spray built to lift dried tubeless sealant off the things it never should have landed on: kit, gear, and floors. The patented formula breaks down the molecular bond between dried latex and whatever surface it has stuck to. On hard surfaces, you wet the area, spray it on liberally, and wipe it off right away with a clean, white cloth. On clothing, you spray, wait 3 minutes, and gently agitate with a stiff brush. It works best when used within two hours, and older residue may need more product or a second application.

It is safe for frame paint when used as directed and is intended to remove dried latex from all surfaces, including clothing. Use it with caution on kit and clothing, since SILCA notes it can also break down the materials they are made from. It keeps tubeless setup from turning into a permanent mess.

Does SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover get dried sealant out of clothing?

Yes, SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover is intended to remove dried latex from fabric, so it can lift sealant out of a jersey or other clothing. Test an inconspicuous spot first, spray the area liberally, wait about 3 minutes, then agitate gently with a stiff brush. Use it with caution, since SILCA notes it can also break down the materials in kit and clothing.

Is SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover safe on a painted bike frame?

Yes, SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover is safe for frame paint when used as directed. Wet the area first, spray, wipe off promptly with a clean white cloth, and wash the bike afterward rather than letting the product sit on the finish for a long time.

How does SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover actually remove dried latex?

SILCA Ultimate Sealant Remover uses a patented water-based formula that breaks down the molecular bond between dried latex and the surface it has attached to. It works best within two hours. For heavy or older residue on a frame, SILCA suggests soaking a small paper towel or cloth with the remover, letting it sit on the spot for 5 to 10 minutes, and then wiping clean.
