It
is important to change our thinking from selling
tire sealant, to selling flat tire prevention
and tire life extension for any air filled tire. No one
has ever had a convenient flat tire on anything. Therefore,
when we talk to a customer we don't sell tire sealant,
we sell flat tire prevention. |
| |
| |
Q1 |
What
problem does AmerSeal prevent? |
| |
| |
Answer |
AmerSeal
completely seals the entire bead, and rim area of the
tire to prevent air loss from all parts of the tire and
rim. It also coats the sidewalls on the inside of the
tire to eliminate air loss from porosity leaks, and weather
cracking. |
| |
| |
Q2 |
Is
AmerSeal cost effective? |
| |
| |
Answer |
Time
studies have shown that if only 24%-30% of flat tires
are eliminated, AmerSeal has paid for itself. AmerSeal
will eliminate over 99% of flat tire problems in tubeless
tires, and around 85% in tube type tires. AmerSeal can
be installed in any tire for less than it would cost to
repair that tire one time. AmerSeal continues to work
and be effective for the life of the tire. |
| |
| |
Q3 |
Does
AmerSeal pay for itself? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Absolutely,
in these 5 ways! 1. No equipment
downtime due to flat tires.
2. Fewer loss of machine and man hours due to
flat tires. Flat tires can be extremely costly resulting
in downtime for equipment and perosnnel.
3. Eliminates costs from flat tire repairs and
roadside service calls. Flat repair costs can range
from $7.50 to several hundred dollars depending on the
vehicle the tire is on and subsequent service call costs.
4. Independent test show that an AmerSeal treated tire lasts an average of 20% to
30% longer. For these two reasons.
a. Tires stay properly inflated, underinflation is the number one killer of tread
wear, and tire failure.
b. Tires run cooler 35 to 37 degrees fahrenheit.
The reduction of friction coupled with the dissipation
of heat from the tire makes tread areas last longer.
Heat is dissipated by being able to transfer from the
tread area of the tire to the coated sidewall of the
tire where the tire is much cooler. Heat will always
travel from a hot surface to a cooler surface. The sidewall
coated with AmerSeal is much cooler than the tread area.
5. As much as 10% better fuel mileage, properly
inflated tires produce much less drag on equipment,
therefore, equipment uses less fuel.

Q4 |
Aren't
all tire sealants basically the same? |
| |
| |
Answer |
NO!
Some tire sealants have few ingredients in them. AmerSeal
is a heat treated formula that is made up of 23 different
ingredients. AmerSeal is heat treated to get a cross linking
of the molecules of all the ingredients, making a 100%
totally homogenous formula that never has to be shaken
or stirred, or mixed and will never break down in the
bottle or the tire. |
| |
| |
Q5 |
Can
AmerSeal be used in any airfilled tire? |
| |
| |
Answer |
Yes.
High speed, low speed, tubeless, or tube type tires. If
you put air into a tire, AmerSeal can be used effectively.
Since AmerSeal is totally water soluble it is not effective
with liquid ballasts such as calcium chloride. Also, AmerSeal
cannot be used with balancing powder. However, trucking
companies have told us that AmerSeal treatment in heavy
duty truck tires eliminates the need for a balancing powder. |

|
|
| |
Q6 |
How
large a puncture will AmerSeal seal? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
AmerSeal
will seal punctures of 1/4" inch in any airfilled
tire. Larger punctures in the tread area will generally
seal in higher ply industrial type tires. In independent
tests AmerSeal has sealed 86 - 1/2" inch punctures
in a 14 ply truck tire, and the tire was still in use. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q7 |
Will
AmerSeal seal bead or rim leaks? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Yes.
It may take a few days for AmerSeal to seek out all the
areas. The rim may be leaking from so much air pressure
you may need to add air a few more times until the leak
is permanently sealed. The more the tire is rotated the
less time it will take for a bead leak to seal. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q8 |
Is
AmerSeal effective in extreme temperatures? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Yes.
AmerSeal stays effective from -45% to 200% fahrenheit. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q9 |
How
often do you have a treat a tire with AmerSeal? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Once.
In some extreme conditions like industrial mowers that
are getting several thousand punctures in thorn rows and
ditches, additional AmerSeal may at some point be required.
However, AmerSeal is, practically 100% of the time, a
one time application. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q10 |
How
do you remove AmerSeal from the tire when the tire needs recapped or section patched? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
With
water. AmerSeal is 100% water soluble and can be rinsed
out of the inside of the tire with a garden hose. For
quick removal use a wet dry vac after introducing the
water into the inside of the tire. If the puncture is
too large and requires a regular patch, simply blow the
Amerseal away from the puncture area with a high pressure
air hose, wipe area with a wet rag, let dry and patch
normally. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q11 |
What
is the shelf life of AmerSeal? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Indefinite!
We have tested AmerSeal that has been in closed containers
for more than 8 years and the chemical make up of AmerSeal
is identical to when it was bottled. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q12 |
Is
AmerSeal flammable or explosive? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
NO.
AmerSeal has no flash point. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q13 |
Will
AmerSeal rust or corrode a wheel or rim? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
NO.
Amerseal has 4 rust inhibitors in it and 1 vapor lock inhibitor. It is chemically inert
and will not have any effect on the rubber or wheel. AmerSeal stays pH neutral for the
life of the tire. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q14 |
Can
excess water inside a tire dilute the sealant and make it ineffective? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Yes.
Water vapor can be injected into a tire from unfiltered
air compressors, or through major leaks in the bead area
of a tire that is already flat.AmerSeal does have
a water dispersing agent in its formulation.
However, if excess water is in the tire it will dilute
the sealant and make it ineffective. The best
way to insure water is not being injected into tires,
is to empty (bleed) the air line of the compressor by
blowing air through the line before attaching it to the
valve stem of the tire. If white liquid is noticed leaking
from a puncture after the tire has been rotated several
times, and air is continuing to leak out of the tire,
more than likely the tire has had water or some other
type of sealant or ballast in it previous to the AmerSeal
treatment. If this happens, you must remove the tire from
the rim, rinse it out with water, remount it, and retreat
with AmerSeal. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q15 |
Does
AmerSeal migrate to the bottom of the tire when the vehicle is stopped? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
No.
AmerSeal permanently coats all internal surfaces of the
tire and wheel and stays in place for permanent protection. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q16 |
Will AmerSeal treatment save on truck tire repair? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
Yes.
Amerseal will usually save in tire repair and down time,
many times over what you would pay in any given tire repair. |
| |
|
|
| |
Q17 |
How
do you dispose of AmerSeal when it is rinsed out of the
tire? Is it a hazardous material, or hazardous waste product? |
| |
|
|
| |
Answer |
According
to the EPA's Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure analysis AmerSeal is not even remotely
close to being considered a hazardous material or a hazardous
waste product. As such AmerSeal can be rinsed down any
sanitary sewer, with the permission of the sewer owner. |
