In today's fast-evolving automotive industry, the need for stronger, safer, and more efficient bonding solutions has never been greater. As vehicle designs push the boundaries of lightweight materials and performance, traditional fastening methods often fall short. Hernon’s advanced adhesives for automotive manufacturing offer a new level of durability, precision, and vibration resistance—helping manufacturers build safer, longer-lasting vehicles.
Why Adhesives Matter in Modern Automotive Design
Automotive adhesives are not just about holding parts together. They play a critical role in:
- Enhancing crash performance through improved structural integrity
- Reducing weight by replacing heavy mechanical fasteners
- Dampening vibrations and noise for better ride quality
- Sealing components to prevent fluid leaks and environmental exposure
These benefits are essential for meeting today’s safety standards and consumer expectations.
Proven Products for Performance and Protection
Hernon offers a wide selection of automotive-grade adhesives and sealants, including:
- Anaerobic Threadlockers for Automotive Use – Ideal for locking and sealing threaded fasteners in engines, transmissions, and suspension systems. These threadlockers cure in the absence of air and presence of metal, making them perfect for internal automotive assemblies.
- Structural Adhesives – Provide high-strength bonding for body panels, frames, and under-hood components, contributing to weight reduction without sacrificing safety.
- Gasketing Compounds – Deliver reliable seals for complex mating surfaces and fluid system components.
- Retaining Compounds – Secure cylindrical parts like bearings, pulleys, and bushings in place with superior load resistance.
Threadlockers: Small Components, Big Impact
Fastener failure due to vibration or thermal cycling can be catastrophic in automotive applications. Hernon’s threadlockers for automotive and industrial machinery are specifically formulated to:
- Prevent loosening due to vibration and thermal stress
- Seal threads against corrosion, moisture, and contaminants
- Reduce the need for re-torquing or manual inspection
Our anaerobic threadlockers for automotive use come in various strengths and viscosities, enabling custom solutions for everything from precision instrument panels to heavy-duty engine assemblies.
Driving the Future with Smarter Adhesives
As electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous systems grow more prevalent, adhesives are becoming even more vital to ensuring thermal control, lightweight construction, and durability. Hernon is at the forefront, delivering innovative adhesives for automotive manufacturing that support automation, improve efficiency, and elevate product quality.
