The imperial motion has come up with innovative NCT (Nano cure tent) made of specially designed fabric. The self-healing tent is capable of healing punctures and holes with friction all by itself. It is touted to be the world’s first self-healing tent and the technology employed here is Nano cure tech. Whenever you go camping, staying on rainy nights is quite challenging. There are waterproof tents available in the market, but when the tent is punctured, rainwater seeps through the tents. Also, it is quite difficult to seal the puncture manually. Meet NCT tents, the self-healing, waterproof, nylon ripstop with repairing capabilities.
The nylon ripstop is extremely durable and lightweight. When the tent is punctured, the reinforced fabrics form a strong supporting layer around the puncture. The fibres, in reality, are not punctured, but they have separated apart. The nylon ripstop is embedded in a double-sided coating. When the punctured area is rubbed with the fingers, the nylon fibres in the puncture gather under the influence of heat, thereby sealing the puncture.
However, the self-healing effect is applicable only to small punctures and does not apply to large holes made by knives or scissors. Apart from the self-healing properties, the NCT packs impressive specifications and features:
