"Rather than using several 1,000ml sealant jugs throughout the week, a bike shop can now use the Stans OnTap. One full OnTap keg provides enough sealant to set up the tires on 80 mountain bikes and 160 road bikes. Shops can buy sealant in bulk, leaving the 1,000ml jugs on the sales floor for customers to buy."
"OnTap is equipped with a motor to keep the sealant properly mixed. The mixer needs just 10 seconds before sealant can be poured into an injector or measuring cup. Stans claims a 75% reduction in plastic use thanks to OnTap."
Stans dominates the tubeless tire sealant market, but traditional packaging creates significant waste. Individual 1,000ml jugs require pouring into smaller containers for accurate measurement. Bike shops generate substantial waste using multiple jugs weekly. Stans recently introduced OnTap, a 20-litre keg system for participating dealers that eliminates excessive packaging. One OnTap keg provides enough sealant for 80 mountain bikes or 160 road bikes. The keg features a motor maintaining proper sealant mixing, requiring only 10 seconds before dispensing. Stans claims 75% plastic reduction through this bulk system. However, the announced April 1st availability date raises questions about whether this is a genuine product or an April Fools' joke.
