TWO MAJOR TYRE MANUFACTURERS TESTED ULTRASEAL
Ultraseal International, Inc. maintains a strict quality control program. From start to finish, each master batch is sample tested and must meet a rigorous 5,000 mile performance test prior to being assigned a certification batch control number.
Some of our in-house testing is performed on a dynamometer test wheel, which was designed to meet the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) requirements. This equipment allows us to run test samples at specific speeds, load requirement, temperature, etc.
By utilizing a dynamometer test wheel any designated number of miles can be accrued while running a longevity/performance test, thereby producing accurate and reliable documentation.
Ultraseal International maintains the highest standards in quality control by means of independent testing laboratories, In-house testing, and actual in-field test programs.
We can legitimately prove that Ultraseal Tyre Life Extender/sealer provides the following attributes:
• Eliminates underinflation
• Extends Tyre life
• Protects against rust & corrosion
• Retards casing aging and dry rot
• Compatible with all retread methods
• Will not void tyre Manufacturer's warranty
• Eliminates most flats and blow outs
• Positive sealing capabilities
• One treatment protects for the life of the tyre
• Provides safety factors that can not be found in any tyre
• Will not mask or hide an extensively damaged or dangerous tyre
• Can not create a balance problem
• Certified as meeting the 1993 U.S. Federal/Postal tyre Sealant Specifications
All of Ultraseal's attributes and claims are documented and backed by federally recognized independent tyre testing laboratories, independently controlled fleet testing and includes tests performed by government agencies worldwide.
It is virtually impossible for Ultraseal to hide or mask a dangerous wound. Over thirty two years of worldwide usage and countless tests which have been performed have proven that Ultraseal will not seal a tyre that has received a wound that would weaken the tyres inner structure to a point that could be dangerous.
The U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) in conjunction with the U.S. Army Proving Grounds in Yuma, AZ (YPG) tested Ultraseal and substantiated that Ultraseal "does not mask catastrophic failures".
If a tyre receives a dangerous wound, Ultraseal allows air to bleed, providing additional time for the driver to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. This safety factor alone can prevent blowouts from becoming a dangerous situation. Many security and law enforcement fleets utilize Ultraseal for its ability to provide a high degree of safety and reliability rather than just Ultraseal's cost savings and tyre life extension qualities.
Ultraseal's accomplishments
Testing was conducted in desert areas where the vehicle encountered a great deal of cactus and mesquite thorns, resulting in many flats and costly delays in the scheduled test program. Ultraseal was purchased by NASA for the Lunar Moon Buggy's pneumatic test tyres during R&D testing on Earth.
Ultraseal prevented flat tyres during the balance of the research and development phases. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, the vehicle was fitted with non-pneumatic circular tyre shaped mesh wire frame units with a thin material for the tread.

In 1975, the U.S. Naval Sea Bees performed an extensive in-field test on Ultraseal. After passing all tests and evaluations Ultraseal was authorized to be installed in Sea Bee construction equipment and miscellaneous vehicles all over the world.
Ultraseal has been the only tyre sealant to qualify and be established as standard issue in the Sea Bee's deployment packs for all missions.
Flat tyres were virtually eliminated in the construction equipment used to build and rebuild roads, bridges, airstrips and other specialized missions. The command was so impressed with the results that National Stock Numbers (NSN) were issued for Ultraseal tyre Life Extender/sealer.
Ultraseal International has maintained NSN numbers ever since 1975. Ultraseal has passed all military test programs and continues to supply all facets of the U.S. Armed Forces and the Government Services Administration (GSA) fleet.
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE CERTIFICATION
In 1993, representatives from GSA, EPA and the Postal System established a Generic tyre Sealant Specification that set the world's first standard for tyre sealants.
Safety, Compatibility and Performance (minimum 20,000 miles) were the basic requirements for a new/unused tyre sealant. The specification also required safety and compatibility re-testing of the used tyre sealant, upon completion of the 20,000 miles.
With the approval of the Postal Service, Ultraseal International contracted with the testing facility to have the performance portion of the test extended to 40,000 miles. No other sealant has been able to
meet this rigorous performance record.
Ultraseal tyre Life Extender/sealer is certified and approved for all postal vehicles.
100,000 MILE - INDEPENDENT TRUCKING COMPANY TEST
An independent long haul trucking firm in conjunction with a fleet maintenance consulting firm establish a two and one half year test program which included installing Budini computer chips into tyres to scientifically document the advantage and cost effectiveness of Ultraseal.
Comparing tyres treated with Ultraseal against tyres containing only air, this program ran for over 100,000 miles. All tyres treated with Ultraseal maintained air pressure and achieved a minimum of 25% increase in tread wear over the untreated tyres.
MAJOR TELEPHONE COMPANY (ONE YEAR CASE STUDY)
A one year case study by the largest telephone company in So. California (over 1,000 vehicles), showed that Ultraseal reduced flat tyres by over 90%. Ultraseal thereby eliminated a tremendous amount of downtime and lost work hours. Plus, eliminating most tyre related road service calls.
Throughout the year all tyres maintained constant air pressure (within one pound of the initial setting). Computer analysis estimated a fuel savings of 10% - 13% (mostly due to the constant air pressure maintained by Ultraseal). Current documentation indicates that average tyre life extension is expected to be increased well over 30%.
BULLET PROOFING COMBAT VEHICLES
An Army HUMMV tyre treated with Ultraseal's Extra Heavy Duty (XHD) grade (combat formula) survived a shot through the sidewall with a 7.62 NATO round during the U.S. Army Combat Tyre Survival Program at the Nevada Test Center. The bullet entered and exited through both of the tyres sidewalls and Ultraseal sealed the wound instantly, with no measurable air loss.

Ultraseal passed extreme flammability and flash point testing performed by the South African Government and is the only sealant approved for use in tyres on deep mining equipment.
MOSCOW TYRE RESEARCH INSTITUTE TEST
In 1996, Ultraseal International received certification of acceptance by the Moscow Tyre Research Institute (MTRI). The Tyre Research Institute tested all foreign and domestic tyre sealants including Ultraseal Tyre Life Extender/sealer and concluded that Ultraseal is the only tyre sealant to perform according to the manufacturer's specifications. Ultraseal is the only tyre sealant recommended by the "MTRI".
FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TYRE TESTING LABORATORY
Ultraseal International contracted one of the foremost independent laboratories for testing tyres (recognized by tyre manufacturers, the U.S. Government and listed as approved by the U.S. Postal Service) to perform a 40,000 mile tyre sealant test. The endurance and performance portion of this test doubled the mileage required for certification by the U.S. Postal System.
#1 RETREADING COMPANY IN THE WORLD
Their R&D division performed tests to verify Ultraseal's claims of "Maintaining air pressure" and "The ability to provide a positive secure repair".
They indicated that Ultraseal proved to have 100% air retention and the punctures inflicted on the test tyres did not lose air throughout the testing program. They had never seen a tyre sealant that performed as well as Ultraseal.
WORLD'S LARGEST PRODUCER OF STEELBELT MATERIAL
Performed rust and corrosion testing. The results prove that Ultraseal's steelbelt rust inhibiting system will prevent rust/corrosion from damaging the highly susceptible steel used in the manufacture of steel belts in radial tyres.
TWO MAJOR TYRE MANUFACTURERS TESTED ULTRASEAL
Two of the largest tyre manufacturers in the world have independently tested Ultraseal. Ultraseal passed all testing with flying colors. The results add to the claim that Ultraseal Tyre Life Extender/sealer is by far the finest tyre sealant in the world.
All testing has proven that Ultraseal is actually a true tyre life extender as well as an exceptional sealant. Ultraseal International, Inc. maintains copies of the various independent test programs that will substantiate the claims of positive air retention, positive secure repairs, ability to extend tyre life, endurance and performance.
