Traditional gaskets are increasingly being replaced by form-in-place gasket sealants that provide superior sealing performance in automotive assemblies.
These materials are applied directly to mating surfaces where they cure to form a durable gasket.
Benefits of Form-in-Place Gaskets
Advantages include:
- Custom sealing geometry
- Reduced leak risk
- Faster assembly processes
- Improved durability
These characteristics make automotive gasketing sealants widely used in modern engine designs.
Applications in Automotive Systems
Form-in-place gasket sealants are commonly used in:
- Engine covers
- Oil pans
- Transmission housings
- Water pump assemblies
Hernon’s gasketing sealant solutions help automotive manufacturers improve reliability and reduce maintenance issues.

Hernon’s Form-in-Place Gasket (FIPG) sealants play a critical role in improving automotive engine performance by delivering precise, reliable sealing that reduces leaks, enhances durability, and supports overall system efficiency.
To ensure consistent application and optimal results, Hernon also offers its Autosealer line of application equipment, designed to handle everything from manually loaded setups to fully automated systems. These solutions are engineered to accurately dispense and cure UV FOG (Ultraviolet Form-On-Gasket) sealants—Hernon’s advanced FIPG technology—on virtually any gasket size. By combining high-performance materials with tailored dispensing equipment, Hernon enables manufacturers to achieve greater process control, improved throughput, and long-term sealing integrity.
By replacing traditional gaskets with advanced sealing compounds, manufacturers can improve durability and reduce leaks in engine and drivetrain systems.
