US-based Charter Next Generation (CNG), a leader in specialty films and material science solutions, has launched its patented Nail Sealable film technology. This innovative self-healing film enhances waterproofing in construction, offering superior moisture resistance and durability.
The Nail Sealable film provides exceptional waterproofing by self-sealing around fastener punctures, creating a durable moisture barrier. Unlike traditional polyethylene films that rely on adhesive coatings, this technology performs the sealing function independently, eliminating the need for excess adhesives and supporting a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Available in various thicknesses, widths, lengths and colours, the Nail Sealable film can be customised for applications in construction, manufacturing and tape industries. The product has also been extensively tested to meet ASTM and AAMA standards, with the product exhibiting improved water vapour transmission rates as well as enhanced puncture and tear resistance.
"We are excited to introduce this patented technology, which exemplifies our purpose of Enhancing Lives for a Better World," says John Garnett, senior vice-president of sustainability, technical, and innovation at Charter Next Generation. "This self-healing film not only addresses long-standing challenges in construction but also sets a new industry standard for quality and reliability. By working closely with our customers, we've developed a solution that meets their needs and delivers high performance, even in the harshest conditions."
