    Business Philosophy
The employees of the MULTI-SEAL Corporation believe that
the MULTI-SEAL line of tire sealants is technically superior
to all others in the market. It is realized, however, that even
superior tire sealants have limitations and that no sealant can
“chainsaw-proof” a tire. MULTI-SEAL employees and
distributors endeavor to make realistic claims for our sealants
and limit recommendations to equipment that will realize a
problem-free cost benefit from their use.


MULTI-SEAL’s goal is to maintain a satisfied customer who
uses our products on an on-going basis. We would rather not
make a sale than sell into an application that will create a
dissatisfied customer.

High Performance Tire Sealants:
   Preventative
   Seals large punctures
   Maintains inflation pressures/prevents slow
    leaks
   Works for life of the tire
   Has no negative impact on tires/wheels
   Water washable
   Technical Legitimacy
                                                  5
         How Does it Work?
   Pooling
   Fiber “tangle” in wound
   Packing to form “filter”
   Fillers complete the job
   No chemical reaction!!

              Stabilizes Air Pressure for Added Tread Life




Underinflation is a major cause of tire failure and shortened service life. This
chart shows, for example, how a 20% loss in air pressure means getting only
75% of expected tread life. A single MULTI-SEAL treatment, however, stabilizes
pressure to distribute tread wear more evenly and improves fuel economy.

                                                                               17
