Developed alongside World Cup mechanics and world champion racers. Peaty’s improved Holeshot Tubeless Sealant is packed full of biodegradable fibres & sealing particles to give a fast and strong seal. Using the latest fast-acting latex, the water-based sealant is ammonia-free, non-hazardous and lasts up to 6 months in the tyre in temperate climates. It won’t ball up in the tyre and is easily washed out. Peaty's biodegradable fibres and particles bind together with the fast-acting latex to create a clot (like platelets in your blood) to quickly & effectively seal holes and tears up to 6mm.

Biofibres - For a Faster, Stronger Seal
Biofibres tangle up with particles and latex to create a faster, more durable seal. Peaty's original sealant didn’t have any fibres. This is because the most common - and easiest - way of achieving a fast seal is by using microplastic fibres. These are very cheap and easy to get hold of, but they’re terrible for the environment, so Peaty's stayed away from them. It’s taken years to find a biodegradable fibre that seals holes well, yet also lasts a long time in the tyre. To get a good seal you need fibres of a really specific size, so after years of testing and development Peaty's has finally found a fibre which gives incredible sealing performance, while remaining super durable.
Thinner Formulation for a Faster Tubeless Setup
Peaty's has also made the sealant slightly thinner, for easier initial setup, and added higher concentrations of sealing compounds - to work with the fibres and platelets and give a better / more durable seal. Perfecting a sealant which flows easily, seals quickly, works in a good range of operating temperatures and remains super durable has been a long and arduous journey. But Peaty's has finally got there!
Black Platelets - Less Mess
The shiny turquoise bits Peaty's had in their original sealant formula can look a bit of a mess. However, the original size, shape and material of Peaty's sealant platelets always performed the best. So they simply changed them to be black to blend in with tyre carcasses and look far less messy if it gets sprayed everywhere.
Wait, is that plastic glitter?!
Hell no! No micro-plastics or microfibres here… The platelets in Peaty's sealant are BioGlitter made from a special form of cellulose from hardwoods, primarily eucalyptus sourced from responsibly managed and certified plantations operating to PEFC™ www.pefc.org standards. They work like platelets in your blood, building up behind holes to help our fast acting sealant form an even stronger bond with the rubber in your tyre.
Setup instructions
-
Shake the bottle vigorously before every use to ensure an even distribution of fibres and particles.
-
Rinse away any old sealant from the tyre and dry off completely. For brand new tyres degrease, rinse and dry the internal carcass to remove factory mold release agents and other contaminants.
-
Seat your tyre onto the rim and inflate initially with no sealant, using a track pump, inflator or compressor to pop the tyre bead fully onto the rim.
-
Deflate the tyre and, with the valve at the three o’clock position, use the flexible injector pipe provided to inject the desired amount of sealant directly through the de-cored valve.
-
Re-insert the valve core and re-inflate the tyre to desired pressure.
-
Distribute the sealant around inside the tyre by spinning the wheel and tapping the tyre on the floor.
-
Listen for any air leaks and orientate the wheel so that the sealant flows around the inside of the tyre to the area required. Continue doing this until you can’t hear any more air loss. If a seal can’t be made, add more sealant in increments as required.
-
Wash away any excess sealant that may have found its way to the outside of the tyre or rim with water.
- Check tyre pressures and ride!
Peaty's top sealing tips
Make sure you thoroughly clean the inside of your tyres of any dirt, oil and other sealants before you first setup tubeless. New tyres are often coated on the inside with a residual chemicals from the manufacturing process (specifically release agents) which can react with tubeless sealant and cause it to solidify prematurely.
Let the tyre dry fully after cleaning and wipe the tyre with Isopropyl Alcohol or Peaty's Disc Brake Cleaner before applying sealant.
Tubeless tyres rely on a thin lining of butyl rubber on the inside of the tyre to hold air (and sealant). Some new tyres (especially very thin / lightweight tyres) can have tiny imperfections in this lining making the tyre slightly porous so it is normal for new tyres to deflate slightly after the first installation.
Porous tyres may also absorb some sealant within the first few riding hours to help seal these tiny holes. In severe cases you may even see this small dots of white fluid coming out of the sidewall of your tyre. This is fairly normal and should seal within 24hrs but if your tyre continually leaks out of the sidewalls then contact your tyre manufacturer as there may be a larger fault with the tyres construction.
It is best to check your sealant levels after two weeks of application and top-up any lost fluid if required.
