DETAILED ANSWER AS REQUESTED

Q - Can Ultraseal be used in tyres with tubes?

A - Yes!

Ultraseal will seal wounds in both tube and tubeless tyres as long as there is rubber recovery and it is not a dangerous wound.

A tube is not one of man's most ingenious inventions, and is very unreliable. The tube is basically made of rubber and synthetics. The wall thickness of a tube is not uniform and rubber content is very critical in terms of elasticity and rubber recovery. A tube that does not contain a sufficient amount of natural rubber can not recover (close up) after sustaining a wound. It is critical that there be rubber recovery to assure a positive secure repair/clot.

When a tube is punctured, the size of the wound in the tube may be much larger than the actual puncturing object, also tubes are very susceptible to ripping.
