Professional mounting talc for tyre and inner tube assembly | Brand: Xtra Seal USA | Sold as: 1 pc.
Professional tyre mounting talc by Xtra Seal USA in a 453 g sifter can – designed to ease inner tube installation inside tyres. Reduces friction between the inner tube and tyre interior, prevents rubber bonding during inflation and use, and helps achieve even tube seating. The sifter can allows precise, waste-free application of talc directly onto the inner tube.
Product description – tyre mounting talc 4-14-550
Talc 4-14-550 is applied evenly across the inner tube surface before insertion into the tyre. A thin layer of talc creates a dry, slip-enhancing coating that eliminates the risk of the tube twisting or folding during installation, and prevents the rubber from bonding to the tyre interior during inflation and use.
The sifter can with dispensing holes allows even application of talc directly onto the inner tube without additional tools. After use the can closes securely, protecting the talc from moisture.

Frequently asked questions
Is talc 4-14-550 suitable for truck tyre inner tubes?
Yes – the talc is compatible with inner tubes for passenger, motorcycle, truck and agricultural machinery tyres. It can be used with any type of inner tube requiring easier installation inside the tyre.
Can talc be used instead of mounting paste?
No – talc and mounting paste serve different purposes. Talc is applied inside the tyre on the inner tube, reducing friction between the tube and the tyre. Mounting paste is applied on the outside – to the tyre bead and rim flange – to ease fitting the tyre onto the rim. Both products are used together when fitting tube-type tyres.
Why should talc not be applied to wet surfaces?
Talc loses its slip properties on contact with moisture – instead of reducing friction, it can clump and make it harder to seat the inner tube evenly. Make sure the inner tube and tyre interior are dry before applying.
