Slime sealant is a liquid that may dry out over long periods of time. For maximum puncture protection and optimal performance, we recommend that Slime be replaced after 2 years. For most tires and tubes, this will also be the time period for replacement due to wear and tear. After installation, Slime will remain liquid for up to 2 years. The Slime is actually a delivery system for fibers, rubber particles and other sealing agents. As the liquid gets forced out through the puncture, it carries along with it the larger puncture repairing ingredients which pack into and seal the hole, preventing air loss.
Look for the yellow label Emergency Tire Sealant formula for highway vehicles or the blue label Prevent and Repair Tire Sealant for non-highway tubeless tires. Both bottles have the Tire Sensor Safe icon. Whenever possible, we recommend rotating the tire so the valve stem is in the upper half of the tire, away from any sealant that may pool at the base of the tire.
