Hernon Ammunition Sealants Earn U.S. Government & NATO Approvals - Setting a New Standard in Cartridge Sealing

Hernon Manufacturing Inc., a global leader in high-performance adhesives, sealants, and precision dispensing solutions, today announced that its Hernon Ammunition Sealants have received official approval from both the U.S. Government and NATO for use on 7.62mm and 6.8mm cartridges. This distinction marks a significant achievement for the company and further reinforces Hernon's reputation as a trusted partner to defense manufacturers and military organizations worldwide. With these approvals, Hernon's products are now recognized as the only external ammunition sealants specified on U.S. Government drawings, a designation that speaks to their proven performance, stringent testing, and long-term reliability in critical defense applications. This recognition also positions Hernon among a select group of suppliers whose technologies meet the highest levels of military qualification and documentation requirements.

For decades, Hernon has invested heavily in research, development, and quality assurance to ensure its materials perform consistently in the harshest and most demanding environments. Ammunition manufacturers must meet exacting standards for safety, durability, and consistency, and sealants play a vital role in protecting cartridges from moisture, contaminants, and environmental exposure. Proper sealing directly impacts shelf life, functional reliability, and operational readiness, making material performance a mission-critical factor. Hernon's advanced formulations are engineered to maintain seal integrity across temperature extremes, vibration, storage, and transport conditions, helping ensure dependable performance in the field. This latest approval validates not only the product technology itself but also the rigorous processes and quality systems behind it, including traceability, batch consistency, and strict quality controls.

Hernon's sealant portfolio is supported by a robust infrastructure that includes more than 5,000 unique formulations, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, and a highly experienced engineering and technical support team. The company works closely with customers to understand their production requirements, regulatory considerations, and performance goals, delivering tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly into modern ammunition manufacturing lines. From formulation to application support, Hernon provides end-to-end expertise that helps manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce risk, and maintain compliance with military specifications. Many customers also rely on Hernon for training, process optimization, and ongoing technical consultation to ensure consistent results at scale.

"Achieving approval from both the U.S. Government and NATO for our ammunition sealants is a major milestone that reflects the rigor of our development process and the confidence that global defense organizations place in Hernon products," said President Harry Arnon. "Being the only external ammunition sealants specified on U.S. Government drawings highlights our commitment to quality, performance, and continuous innovation in mission-critical applications where failure is not an option." Arnon added that these approvals represent years of collaboration, testing, and refinement aimed at meeting the evolving needs of defense manufacturers.

As global defense needs evolve, Hernon remains committed to advancing materials science and delivering technologies that support readiness, safety, and operational reliability. The company continues to invest in next-generation solutions designed to meet emerging requirements across defense, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
