Tube Patch 26 mm – Aluminum Foil, Xtra Seal
Inner tube repair patch | Aluminum foil | Brand: Xtra Seal | Sold as: 1 pc.
The 26 mm tube patch from Xtra Seal is a round repair patch on an aluminum foil layer, made for fixing bicycle, motorcycle, and car inner tubes. Unlike the 11-022M version available in boxes of 100, this variant is sold as a single piece — useful for topping up stock or buying exactly the quantity needed without committing to a full box. The aluminum foil acts as a protective layer, the same role mylar plays on other Xtra Seal patches, keeping the patch base clean until it's peeled off right before mounting. It works with both cold and hot vulcanization.
Product Overview – 26 mm Tube Patch 11-NT032
The patch is used on small tube punctures — from nails, thorns, or sharp debris on the road. The rubber compound bonds into a repair stronger than the tube material itself after curing, which is behind the manufacturer's claim of strength up to twice that of the repaired tube.
The aluminum foil is peeled off right before the patch is applied to the prepared, cement-coated tube surface — until that point, it protects the patch base from dust and accidental contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 11-NT032 differ from the 11-022M?
Both are round Xtra Seal tube patches on aluminum foil, but they differ in diameter and how they're sold. The 11-NT032 is 26 mm and sold as a single piece, while the 11-022M is 22 mm and comes in a box of 100. The 11-NT032 is the better pick when a slightly larger reinforcement margin is needed, or when buying a single patch is more practical than purchasing a full box.
Is the aluminum foil removed before or after applying the patch?
Before — the foil is a protective layer that keeps the patch base clean. It's peeled off right before the patch is pressed onto the cement-coated tube surface, not after the repair is complete.
Which cements work with the 11-NT032 patch?
The manufacturer recommends Xtra Seal's universal cement or the blue Super-Blu cement, applied following the standard tube repair procedure: clean and buff the surface, apply the cement, let it dry, then position and press down the patch.
