3. 3 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.

5. 5 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
6. 6 How Does it Work? Pooling
Fiber “tangle” in wound
Packing to form “filter”
Fillers complete the job
No chemical reaction!!

17. 17 Fleet Maintenance Stabilizes Air Pressure for Added Tread Life
18. 18 Waste Collection Fleet
19. Waste Transfer Fleet Fleet of (22) 18-Wheel Tractor / Dump trailers (396 wheel positions)
Test duration - August 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005
Approximately 46% of the fleet was treated with sealant
Sealant introduced through new retreads in a mounted “switch out” scenario
Accurate records were kept as to which vehicles and which wheel positions were treated with sealant
1,335 tire failure work orders analyzed at the end of the 5 month test
A daily failure rate (%) was calculated for repairable flats and catastrophic failures for both the sealant and non-sealant treated wheel positions in this fleet
Results from the use of Multi-Seal
Catastrophic failures reduced from 0.96% / day (avg) to 0.10% / day (90.02% reduction)
Repairable flats reduced from 1.92% / day to 0.29% / day
(84.93% reduction)

20. Over-The-Road Food Delivery Service Fleet of 113 Trucks and 118 Trailers ? Over-The-Road use
Test duration - July 2, 2007 to August 19, 2007
Random yard pressure checks of sealant and non-sealant treated tires performed weekly
Introduction of sealant via 196 sealant treated Super Singles
Total wheel positions in the fleet 2,074
Target pressure for all wheel positions 110 psi
Data points (random pressure checks) over test period –
Treated tires – 270
Untreated tires – 661
Results from the use of Multi-Seal
Average psi treated tires – 108.27
Average psi un-treated tires – 95.56
