Applications

Hernon® 525 is a pre-applied, micro-encapsulated adhesive for threaded fasteners. Hernon® 525 stays on the bolt until the shearing action of an engaging nut applied to the coated bolt causes the capsules to break allowing the adhesive to cure. This material securely locks and seals against vibration loosening and fluid leakage. Typical Applications Locking & Sealing: • Head bolts • Truck Axle bolts • Transmission nuts • Pipe plugs and fittings Product Benefits • Improves reliability. • Prevents loosening of bolts due to vibration. • Seals against leakage. • Prevents threads from corroding. • Easily visible for inspection. • Pre-coated parts can be packaged and shipped in normal fashion. • Excellent solvent resistance. •Bonds to stainless steel bolts.

Hernon® HPS Activator 4322 is used to activate Hernon® Hernon Porosity Sealant (HPS) resins. HPS resins cures to form a thermoset polymer when exposed to elevated temperature. Thermal content and coefficient of thermal transfer in the workpieces influence the cure rate of the HPS system. Higher temperatures produce quicker cure rates. HPS resins generally cures within the range of 177°F (80°C) to 205°F (96°C). Proper cure requires the workpiece to uniformly attain full cure temperature. Parts that do not transfer heat well will required longer processing times. Efficient thermal conductivity yields shorter processing cycles. Parts with heavier cross sections require longer exposure at heat to attain sufficient temperature internally. Carefully consider part geometry.
