| YOUNG'S SUPER SEAL a
superior radiator stop leak now sealant in many respects. - (to
print this page use landscape format)
In continuous production since 1933, updated periodically to meet modern
automobile requirements and processed in a special way to enhance the features
of the natural organic fibers to act like a clotting agent for your cooling
system fluid.
.
It is an environment friendly, safe to use, undo'able,
non-destructive, 100% Australian organic sealant.
Designed to stop leaks in the radiator, cylinder head and other areas
of a water based cooling system.
A water soluble organic powder that will not cause harm to any components
of your
cooling system and is compatible will all water based automotive glycol
coolants.
Depending upon leak, usually "cap full" to1/3rd of the vial
will suit most needs and seals within several minutes.
The engine must be kept running and water levels watched for the sealant
to work efficiently.
.
Super Seal provides a temporary repair until more effective repairs
can be done.
Our sealant has a long shelf life and is reversible, so you can "un-do"
the sealing action *
It is also very effective on gasket weeping & those similar type
problems.
.
Also this product can save you money in keeping you on the road
and again
at repair time by not needing to replace clogged components.
Since 1933 our customers have been and still are amazed by it...
How long does it last?
In storage: Super Seal will keep for years in its vial
when stored in a dry place. e.g. boot, glove compartment or
tool box.
Using: For gasket weeps Super Seal can last months, generally
between vehicle services. Over the decades customers have inform us they
have left Super Seal in for years and it has kept the hole(s) plugged.
Young's
does not recommend reliance on the sealant for such long times but acknowledges
these satisfied results from our customers.
.
How does it work?
When you apply Super Seal powder to your cooling system fluid, Super
Seal floats on top at first, then in a few seconds most of the powder sinks
into the cooling system fluid. The blended organic material is now saturated
and flows around with the fluid waiting for exposure to external hot dry
air. When exposed, the material starts clotting forming a plug on the hot
surfaces around the hole and building upon itself until the breach is sealed.
Internal clotting is arrested as the sealant is kept moist and pliable
by the cooling system fluid. Super Seal can take seconds to several minutes
to stop the smallest of weeps to fist size or bigger holes in radiator
cores. It is only a matter of time, enough sealant and water for
Super Seal to do its job. For best results use in a well maintained vehicle
and only apply Super Seal when needed. Super Seal is compatible will all
glycol / water based coolants...
For greater efficiency switch off the cabin heater while patching
holes, move the hot / cold slider lever on your dash board to the blue
(cold) setting.
.
What's in it?
Without giving the trade secret away it is made from a blend of natural
organic fibers. Super Seal is a fine dry multi-tone brown powder with a
mild organic odour. Processed a special way to enhance features of the
organic fibers and enable them to react as a sealant in water. Unlike other
sealants it is safe to handle, if released onto the road will not
affect the environment and starts working to plug the leaks within in a
few moments... (engine must be running, water levels checked)...

Other sealants

Some competitor products on the market can harm your cooling system
or you!
e.g. Permanently block radiator tubes, clog thermostat, gum up the
water pump or increase the corrosion factor of the cooling fluid. They
stop leaks all right and the next day when you start your vehicle, the
motor overheats very quickly and stalls or shuts down... |
|
Quick fix
.
.
. |
These sealants tend to assume a "get you home / to safety" by the end
of the drive, where you'll get the leaks fixed the next day; but in reality
you are rarely able to get things fixed the next day and weeks may go by,
so its a good idea to get a sealant that won't do damage to system components
or need an aggressive dissolving agent or even worse, parts replacement
(thermostat, water pump...) at repair time. |
|
Slow fix
.
.
.
. |
These sealants can not stop the leak right now, you need to follow
a procedure and use several products to
stop the leak. These are usually kinder to system components but you
need time and resources handy...
So for "on the road" problems where most leaks are discovered / occur
it is not very practicable, but these products are the most commonly found
at service / refueling stations, where you can purchase the resources (parts,
coolant, cleaners) which force you to make the time to allow the sealant
process to work... |

Harm

Take a closer look at the labels of the "Quick fix" and "Slow fix"
type sealants you may see,
WARNING or CAUTION messages with safety or first aid information...
why?
This is in case their stuff gets on you or children drink/eat the product.
Instructions like wash immediately, induce vomiting, call a doctor, seek
immediate medical advice, you wonder what are they selling you, why is
it so toxic and do you really want to be using their stuff in your vehicle
or keep a bottle handy for future holes! |
Young's sealant, has NO hazards and it is a "quick fix" sealant,
but without the problems a chemical quick fix product.
Super Seal is the best, simple, safe to use, true to label and it works
with a 70+ year proven track record. There are no warnings, no cautions
and no need for first aid information as Super Seal is organic, you could
eat Super Seal,
but we don't recommend you do that.
* At repair time, the repairer simply flushes the cooling system,
knocks away the dry sealant from the hole or around the leaking part of
the gasket and then repairs the hole or replaces the faulty gasket. Recharges
your cooling system with an appropriate coolant as per your automobile's
handbook and your back on the road... Hopefully with a fresh vial of
Super Seal handy if another cooling system leak ever happens...
Super Seal is not everywhere: If Super Seal is so good and been
around for so long, why isn't it everywhere?
Slick marketing is one reason, competitors advertise their product
aggressively and provide a type of "kick back" for places that only push
their product on to customers. Young's has always declined to engage
in this corrupt behavior, customers should be treated as good friends and
be allowed to choose or advised what products will best solve their particular
problem... (Competitors have been known to exchange 2 or more of their
products for every Young's product to get us out of the stores market place.
What does that say about how good our product is...)
Another reason is Super Seal is to good, a little bit goes a long way,
has a long shelf life and does not damage other components. Which means
there are no associated sales of replacement parts, the seller can't make
as much and one vial can last years, so any ongoing sales may be slow.
Stores
that carry Super Seal show that they care about their customer and are
happy to sell a product that saves you, the customer money...
Also some of the auto chains conditions of supply are in Young's
view, impracticable and in the long term, unsustainable.
Reluctantly Young's can not supply those chains, however, you will
see selective stores exercising their consumer right to purchase goods
from manufactures outside their respective auto chains list of approved
suppliers... Young's understands more stores would like to buy direct but
are afraid of breaching their respective franchise agreements... As for
the idea
of selling what the customers wants, its appears now days it is
what the franchises can push...
