Today’s Totally Cool Tech: Slime Flat Tire Prevention & Repair - $40 from Slime.com

SLiME utilizes Fibro-Seal™ technology to seal punctures either before or after they occur. Suspended within the trademark green liquid are either 100% fibers (inner tube formula) or a blend of fibers, rubber particles and other clotting agents (tubeless formula). Once installed in a tube or tire, SLiME sealants remain in a liquid state repairing tread area punctures from the inside out. As the tire rotates the sealant is forced to flow around the tread area creating a band of protection. When a puncture occurs, the escaping air forces the green liquid through the puncture, packing fibers and other clotting agents into the hole and preventing further air loss. SLiME is able to work time and time again repairing punctures when they occur.
