To maintain safety, performance, and reliability, manufacturers rely on high-performance aerospace sealants to protect critical systems and prevent environmental contaminants from compromising aircraft components. Whether used in airframes, avionics, fuel systems, or electronic assemblies, today's aircraft sealing compounds play an essential role in aerospace manufacturing and maintenance.

Hernon Manufacturing is proud to announce that it has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Manufacturer of the Year – Division 1 Award by the Manufacturers Association of Central Florida (MACF).

One of the most important—but often overlooked—contributors to UAV performance is adhesive technology. Today's drone manufacturing adhesives play a critical role in assembling lightweight structures, securing sensitive electronics, and improving overall aircraft durability.

Modern high temperature aerospace adhesives are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions while providing durable bonds that help manufacturers reduce weight, improve assembly efficiency, and enhance component performance.

Learn how waterproof ammunition is manufactured and how sealing technologies help protect ammunition from moisture, corrosion, and environmental exposure.

As aerospace manufacturers continue to prioritize lightweight design, fuel efficiency, and performance, composite materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and honeycomb structures have become increasingly common throughout modern aircraft. While these materials offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, they also require specialized bonding solutions.

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.

Electronic devices are becoming increasingly compact and powerful. While this advancement improves performance, it also increases vulnerability to environmental damage. To protect these systems, manufacturers rely on electronic potting compounds that encapsulate components and provide long-term environmental protection.

Modern electronics manufacturing requires bonding solutions that deliver both speed and precision. UV curing adhesives for electronics solve this challenge by enabling near-instant curing when exposed to ultraviolet light.

Automotive engines operate under intense vibration, heat, and mechanical stress. These conditions can cause threaded fasteners to loosen over time, leading to potential mechanical failures. To prevent this problem, manufacturers rely on automotive threadlockers that secure fasteners and maintain assembly integrity.
