Tire Sealant, Expiration Date

Tire sealant in the bottle has a limited storage life.

Therefore, the expiration date is indicated on the bottle -arrow-.

Replace tire sealant when minimum shelf life date has been reached (tire sealant must not be older than 4 years).

If the bottle was opened, for example, for a punctured tire, it must also be replaced.

Observe the disposal regulations.
