The plastic material is formulated from an adhesive polymer. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener.

The present invention pertains to an assemblage of sealing nail essentially containing a nail, a propeller, and a blocker that is partially extended beyond the propeller. Wherein, the nail would sequentially penetrate the propeller, the blocker, and then a plank. By means of the nail entering the plank, the propeller and the blocker would be simultaneously urged to densely cover up where the nail inserted. Therefore, a preferred sealing efficiency between the nail and the plank is achieved to guarantee a favorable grouting on the plank.

A fastener assembly is for use in an associated fastener driving tool. The assembly includes a row of fasteners arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each fastener has a shank and defines an axis. A collation system is formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material defines a collar portion at least substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar portions.
