Formulations

Hernon’s Bullet Tip ID Coating is the latest technology in ammunition identification, specifically formulated for using inkjet applications, offering advances in adhesion, scratch resistance, and superior print quality. This single-component, solvent-free, UV or LED-curable coating ensures fast curing time and cost-efficient processing, combining with Hernon patented dispensing technologies, making it the ideal solution for high-volume ammunition marking with simple operation.

Typical applications include:

• Ammunition identification and branding
• Military and commercial bullet marking
• High-speed production environments requiring rapid curing

Traditional paints (solvent-based or water-based) are being replaced by modern UV LED curable acrylates. Now the drying time is just a few seconds under UV LED light. Full cure will be reached in 24 hours.

Porosity Sealant (HPS) 38374R is the solution to leak proof parts, improving machinability, in addition to increasing the durability and surface quality for painting and plating. The required addition of HPS Initiator activates the dual-cure system enabling the system to cure anaerobically at room temperature or at elevated temperatures. The cured, hardened resin exhibits superior chemical resistance and elevated temperature stability. The microscopic voids, where potential leaks occur (between metal grains or ceramic or plastic molecules) in the part are filled by low viscosity resin during vacuum application. Sealed micro-pores cure without shrinkage to a tough, cross-linked, thermoset polymer, permanently sealing the work piece. Residual adhesive film is washed from the part surfaces by water during the rinsing cycle. The parts leave the impregnating process without surface residue and can then be used in production within a short period of time. When used in preparation for plating or painting processes, the impregnation process also eliminates absorption of plating material (like acids) or painting prep solvents that could otherwise bleed out of the pores causing finishes to discolor, blister, pit or peel. Sealed powdered metal parts exhibit better machinability, enhanced tool life and better dimensional control.
