Hello:

Is this "red seal" a trademark?

Tool examined the new red seal on the left front tire and pronounced
it airtight

I don't think so. It sounds like the sealing material between the tire
and the metal rim. This is an adhesive that stops the air escaping from
a tubeless tire.

That stuff is white around here (in England, at least).
