Panzer Announces Specific Tubeless Sealant for Inserts

PRESS RELEASE: PANZER

Since the beginning of the 2022 season, our brand has initiated a new phase of testing and development, in collaboration with the Pivot Factory Racing Team at the Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series, and the Buff-Megamo International XC Team, allowing us to understand the real and fully updated needs of the teams in each of the disciplines.

It may sound cliché saying that a mountain bike world victory is the result of a great team effort, but that said statement is relevant when the best results are from winning the two consecutive last Enduro World Series competitions in teams.


Bernard Kerr, Ed Masters, Matt Walker and Morgane Charre are the most complete and polyvalent team in the world elite and we are very proud for doing our bit as an anti-puncture system specialized brand.

"When Panzer reached out to us I wasn't sure what to think, but they got my address ASAP so they could sent out all the products for us to test to make sure we were 100% stoked... They really wanted to make sure it would perform at the highest level keeping us sealed and aired up chasing the podium!

The crew at Panzer and their passion to make sure we were stoked and not just paid was so inspiring for a new sponsor, we knew it was going to be a great partnership from the start!" Bernard Kerr.

Acceptance of Panzer sealant by the teams has been extremely positive; important aspects such as sealing capacity, the drastic reduction of the solid particles generated from the use of inserts and the durability and stability of the liquid itself at high temperatures have been valued highly by mechanics.



WHAT IS PANZER SEALANT?

Panzer sealant is a tubeless sealant that is characterised by its full compatibility with the use of mousse systems.

Its composition is based on a next-generation polymer dispersion that guarantees excellent sealing capacity and the total stability of its composition when using mousse systems, which generate a high level of friction inside the tyre.



EXCEPTIONAL COMPATIBILITY WITH INSERTS.

We must bear in mind that, at present, no tubeless liquid brand at international level has successfully made updates in this regard. In other words, no other brand has developed a specific tubeless liquid that works optimally with mousse systems.

The excess friction generated by mousse systems within the tyre takes a toll on the real performance of the majority of tubeless liquids on the market. Some of the alterations caused by this type of system to the performance of conventional tubeless liquids can be summarised as follows:

• They drastically reduce the durability of the sealing liquid.
• They generate a high number of solid particles in a very short period of time.
• In certain cases they have even been known to decompose the actual tubeless liquid, separating its parts and rendering the liquid completely unusable.


IDEAL FOR USE IN WORKSHOPS.

Due to its performance characteristics, it is the ideal liquid for use in cycling workshops.

This tubeless liquid with a stable composition has characteristics such as great durability, a neutral pH that does not decompose any of the parts of the tubeless system as a whole in the tyre and the drastic reduction of the solid particles generated due to excess friction, making our Panzer sealant a safe bet for use in cycling workshops whose basic principle is the use of quality products to guarantee their optimal performance in the case of the intensive use of the bike by customers.

A two-day intensive use under equal conditions is enough to observe the clear differences between the performance of Panzer sealant compared to any other sealant when using mousse systems.

It is essential for the tubeless system to be correctly installed, to use the same amounts of sealing liquid, the same mousse system and to roll at the same pressure.


SEALING CAPACITY.

Panzer sealant is a tubeless liquid with exceptional sealing capacity. It is more sensitive to clotting when it enters into contact with sand, earth or particularly dusty grounds, reacting more quickly and effectively.

In terms of sealing capacity, it is difficult to provide general data. Important aspects such as the type of tyre, its pressure, weather conditions and ground conditions comprise a series of important variables that affect the sealing characteristics of the tubeless liquid.

DURABILITY AND WASTE

Thanks to the use of specific polymers in the composition of Panzer sealant, the creation of solid particles inside the tyre due to excess friction with the mousse has been greatly reduced, thus significantly lengthening the durability of the liquid itself. This is one of the main problems associated with conventional tubeless liquids when using mousse systems, some of which do not exceed two days of standard use in optimal conditions.


IT HAS HIGH FLUIDITY.

Panzer sealant has high fluidity, greatly facilitating access of the tubeless liquid to any area of the tyre. This significantly reduces its response time in the case of a puncture, given that it reduces the time necessary for the sealant to access the area in which the air loss has occurred.

IT HAS A NEUTRAL PH.

Panzer sealant has been developed based on a neutral pH formula, meaning that it does not cause any type of adverse reaction when it comes into permanent contact with other materials. This is an extremely important aspect, given that it does not decompose any of the parts of the tubeless system as a whole, such as the tyre, tubeless tape or valve. Likewise, it does not cause any type of deterioration to the paint or enamel of the bike’s frame or fork.

LATEX AND AMMONIA FREE.

The Panzer sealant formula is totally latex and ammonia free. Our Panzer sealant is composed of a next-generation polymer dispersion with a significantly improved performance compared to these two products that are commonly used to create certain sealants.

Specifically, ammonia is an extremely harmful product for any material with which it enters into contact; merely the vapours that it emits can damage the structure of any tyre in the use of tubeless systems.
