I've used something similar before, never had to test it though

Well saying that if it did it's job I wouldn't have known about it anyway

Been around a while I think, can't remember what brand the one I used was but essentially the same thing and that was a couple of years ago

There was a similar stuff called oko back in the 80's , i used it in trail bike tyres and worked very well in fact i can remember an xl500 that i only discovered i had gotten a puncture when i changed the rear tyre and the stuff had sealed 4 ! This was with a tube though .It does render the tyre irrepairable i seem to remember as it coats the inside with the goo and puncture repairs won't work if it is present .

A quick google shows they are still in business, but sadly they only cater for off road vehicles, or peds or scooters not proper bikes.

Trashes the tyre as you say but I bet the other stuff does that too hehe
