Slime Self Healing Tube Slime Self Healing Tube come supplied pre-filled with Slime. Slime Slime has been recognised as the number one name in bicycle inner tube sealants since its introduction in 1989. 'Self healing' means if you get a puncture, Slime fibres plug the hole before the tube suffers significant air loss. This means you can usually carry on riding without having to stop to patch and/or inflate the tube. 'Slime Tube sealant prevents and repairs flat tires caused by puncturing objects up to 1/8? (3mm) in diameter. Microfibers in our patented formula are carried by the escaping air to the puncture where they build up to form a plug that prevents air loss. Slime works repeatedly to repair new and existing punctures and is guaranteed to perform for up to 2 years!' Slime. The Slime Self Healing Tube is pre filled with Slime.
