    " In developing the Aerothan bicycle inner tube, we were breaking new ground from the very beginning," says Felix Schäfermeier, Product Manager at Schwalbe.


    The new Aerothan bicycle inner tube is designed around a specially developed material combination based on BASF's Elastollan®


    Despite its low weight, the new inner tube offers riders a whole new level of puncture safety: the material prevents any sudden loss of air and ensures stable operation even at low tire pressures


    This is due to the special mechanical properties of TPU


    "Elastollan® has a very small wall thickness, which reduces weight


    Another advantage of Aerothan bicycle tubes is their recyclability - they are made entirely of thermoplastic polyurethane
    .
    Like all Schwalbe tubes, Aerothan bicycle tubes can be returned to the manufacturer easily and free of charge through the recycling program

    .
    After the material of the old inner tube has been treated, it can be reused as a sealing or insulating material
