Proof. Let and and write for the resulting
split disjoint union in . We can find a diffeomorphism
such that not only is generic and
blackboard-framed, but also the -projections of the and
components of are contained in disjoint disks in . Then, monoidality
on the chain level is manifest in the definition of , and we get

where the map in the second line comes from the Künneth theorem (this
is guaranteed to be an isomorphism when working with field coefficients). The
compatibility on the level of morphisms is verified similarly.
