Another use for nitrogen that's well known around aircraft maintenance circles is it's use in vehicle tires instead of compressed air. It stops most all slow leaks.

It stops most all slow leaks. Please explain why? Is it because pure nitrogen contains no water vapor?

I never heard anything about slow leaks. That would get repaired, not "stop-a-flat" anyway. The nitrogen is inert, will not react with the rubber as oxygen will. It's also dry nitrogen, so moisture will not accumulate as in automobile tires.
