Performance Characteristics

MULTI-SEAL’s performance characteristics are important to consider when selecting a sealant for your critical equipment.

Fibers

Fibers constitute the backbone of the tire sealant. The stronger the fibers, the stronger the tire repair. MULTI-SEAL uses state-of-the-art synthetic fibers such as those used in tire cord and bulletproof vests. Using a variety of fibers is also very important especially in the relatively thin carcass of an ATV, golf cart or lawn implement tire. This variety also enhances the permanence of puncture repairs in heavy duty on-road and off-road tires. The size and type of fibers are key to fast and permanent sealing.

Fillers

Aiding the sealing process, filler particles lodge between the fibers and form an effective, airtight plug. The use of these fillers is imperative for a high performance sealant.

Suspension Stability

The only purpose for the liquid portion of the sealant formulation is to carry the fibers and fillers to the site of the puncture. The solid materials in a sealant must be evenly dispersed through out the product. Stay away from products that show signs of separation in their container or suggest shaking or mixing before using. Remember, if a sealant separates in the bottle, it will separate in the tire, and not act effectively as a sealant. Also beware of sealants that claim a limited ’effective life’. A high performance sealant should last for the life of the tire, and MULTI-SEAL products DO!

Freeze Protection

Not everyone uses their equipment at minus 30 degrees, but most sealant users in the country experience freezing temperatures several times per year. Your sealant should be freeze protected to prevent the possibility of a big lump of ice in your equipment’s tires. Needless to say, an ‘ice cube’ will not seal a puncture. MULTI-SEAL sealants provide protection down to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Inertness

Inertness of a sealant means that the sealant does not react chemically with any part of the tire/wheel assembly. This is critical to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty on both the wheels and tires. Next sentences to read: MULTI-SEAL products are totally inert to all materials of construction in the tire/wheel assembly. Avoid any sealant that works by curing or reacting with air. Remember, any reaction is too much reaction.

Corrosion Protection

All MULTI-SEAL products are inhibited against rusting of steel and also corrosion of aluminum and yellow metals.
