How does Flat Seal seal a hole in the tread of the tire?

Flat Seal is drawn to the area of the escaping air. As the tire rotates and strikes the surface of the road, the hole is stretched open and the polyethylene chips and other fibers enter the cavity. The fibers wrap around the polyethylene chips and form a permanent and flexible plug, similar to the action of a beaver dam.
