How does Longa-Tire seal a hole in the tread of the tire?

A. Longa-Tire 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 fibers enter in the cavity. The fibers wrap around the polyethylene chips and form a plug, similar to the action of a beaver dam. The fluids evaporate from the outer surface of the resulting flexible plug.
