Slime

Slime: The World's Leader in Tire Care Since 1989

Slime is one of the most recognized names in tire care, born from a humble garage operation on the Central Coast of California and grown into a brand distributed across more than 80 countries. Since 1989, Slime has been committed to providing customers with high-quality, innovative tire care products. What started with a few hand-mixed bottles of neon green sealant has expanded into a comprehensive ecosystem of flat tire prevention and repair solutions trusted by everyday drivers, off-road enthusiasts, cyclists, and OEM partners alike.

From Garage Experiment to Global Standard

The first bottles of Slime sealant were blended by hand with a power drill and drywall blade in a garage on the Central Coast of California. In such close proximity to mountain biking trails and sandy dunes perfect for off-roading, it didn't take long for the "green slimy stuff," as it was often referred to back then, to develop a following. That grassroots momentum translated into something enduring: the Slime name stuck, and decades later their sealants continue to be at the heart of the business.

Slime's products include its flagship green tire sealants, as well as a complete line of tire care products and accessories that include portable air compressors, tire gauges, flat tire repair kits, and self-healing tire tubes. This breadth means that whether you drive a car, ATV, golf cart, riding lawn mower, or bicycle, Slime has a purpose-built solution for your tires.

Innovative Tire Repair Technology

At the core of Slime's engineering philosophy is a patented approach to puncture repair. When a puncture occurs, Slime's patented sealant is carried directly to the source — the pressure of the escaping air forces particles into the opening, where they build up and intertwine to form a long-lasting, flexible plug, instantly blocking air loss and preventing a flat tire. This technology is deployed across their tire sealants and packaged conveniently in their popular tire repair kits.

Install in any tubed or tubeless non-highway vehicle — including ATVs/UTVs, golf carts, riding lawn mowers, small trailers, tractors, scooters, bicycles, dirt bikes, and much more — and enjoy up to two years of continuous flat tire protection. For roadside emergencies that require a more hands-on approach, Slime's tire repair strings offer a reliable plug solution, while their tire inner tubes bring the brand's signature self-healing technology directly inside the wheel.

A Commitment to Being Green

With Slime's green sealants still being their core product, the company's commitment to being "green" goes deeper than the brand color — they are dedicated to creating products that are safe for the user, the tire, and the environment, as solidified by Slime's Green Promise. The founders were early to focus on eco-friendly Slime formulations and tire care accessories that are environmentally safe and non-toxic. That ethos remains woven into every product line the brand introduces today.
