    Impregnation Resins / Porosity Sealants

    Impregnation Sealants for Porous Materials

    Porosity in metal castings and powder metal parts can compromise performance, cause leaks, and lead to costly rework. Hernon’s advanced impregnation sealants for porous materials are engineered to seal internal micro-voids and surface porosity without altering part geometry or functionality.

    Our impregnation resins for porosity sealing offer high penetration, excellent thermal and chemical resistance, and permanent sealing of leak paths. These solutions are ideal for a wide range of applications including die castings, sintered metals, and additively manufactured components.

    Trusted by automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturers around the world, Hernon’s impregnation sealants increase production yield, reduce scrap rates, and extend the life and reliability of precision parts.

    Benefits of Hernon Impregnation Resins:

    • Seals micro-porosity and internal voids in metal parts
    • Compatible with vacuum and pressure impregnation systems
    • Resistant to oils, fuels, solvents, and high temperatures
    • Maintains part integrity and dimensional accuracy

    Improve part performance and protect against leaks.

    50/55 Gallons of HPS 41814

    HPS Porosity Sealant 41814 W/O Activator

    Porosity Sealant (HPS) 41814 is the solution to leak proof parts, improving machinability, in addition to increasing the durability and surface quality for painting and plating. The hardened resins exhibit superior chemical resistance and elevated temperature stability. The microscopic voids, where potential leaks occur (between metal grains or ceramic plastic molecules) in the part are filled by the low viscosity resin during vacuum application. Sealed micropores cure without shrinkage when exposed to elevated temperature to form tough cross-linked thermoset polymer, permanently sealing the workpiece. Residual adhesive film is water-washed from the part surfaces during rinsing. The parts leave the impregnating process without surface residue and can then be used in production immediately. When used in preparation for plating or painting processes, the impregnation process also eliminates absorption of plating materials (like acids) or painting prep solvents that could otherwise later bleed out of pores causing finishes to discolor, bleed, pit or peel. Sealed powdered metal parts exhibit better machinability, enhanced tool life and better dimensional control.
