Hernon
Gasket Replacer (TM)
Anaerobic Sealants
Flange Sealing

Hernon Gasket Replacer (TM) anaerobic adhesives are single component, 100% active, ready-to-use gel-like materials that cure at room temperature. Gasket Replacer (TM) products cure only after confinement (the nature of anaerobic adhesives) between mating surfaces. They remain wet during assembly. After curing and filling all imperfections, Hernon Gasket Replacer products form a thin, tough, resilient, solvent, and temperature resistant seal.

Gasket Replacer (TM) adhesives are superior to other gasketing methods. They contain no solvents and do not shrink, stretch, split, rot, distort, wear-out, or relax. Joints never need re-torquing.

Because the gasket is formed when parts are made-up, that is, bolted together, the plastic shim formed is truly a "custom" gasket seal. Gel not forced out cures to a shim as an exacting match of the surface irregularities. The shim mirrors and fills all the voids, nicks and scratches present in even the best machined flanges.

These compounds also find utility in improving the performance of mechanical clamping of flanges. Flange loading is more uniformly distributed when rigid metal faces are in intimate contact, as opposed to clamping with a cork or rubber gasket sandwiched between the parts. Greater load distribution is synonymous with greater seal integrity over time and vibration.
