SilcaUltimate Sealant Remover(Return to Product Page)

Smells toxic, and at least on stans sealant it doesn't seem to work that much better than plain old warm water. I haven't tested it on Silca sealants which have a different chemistry, so there may be hope there.

It does however seem to work very well on wax based lubes, and given the main active ingredient is Glycol Ether EB, which is used in commercial wax strippers, this makes perfect sense. I am thinking of trying it out as a chain degreaser the next time my waxed chain is due as a result.

I was hoping this would help remove Silca's latex from tire beads that had dried on. It's not any better than using mineral spirits although probably better than using that on the rubber compound. What is IS good for is getting the left over sealant and the tape gunk off the rim. Have to admit the latex on the tires had dried quite a while where the rims were done the same day. Tape residue has never been easier to remove than with this stuff. One bottle is going to last a long time too.

You can live without this sealant remover but once you use it you'll appreciate it. Great for getting those little splatters that happen when setting up a new tubeless tire or topping off.

Easy to spray on sealant on tire and rims. Let it soak for a while. Soften the sealant from easier removal.
