Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HM for sanitary applications?
Arbosil HM is specifically formulated with a built-in fungicide to prevent mould and mildew in the high-humidity conditions typical of bathrooms, wet rooms, and commercial sanitary environments. Its rapid acetoxy cure minimises installation downtime, and its 25+ year service life means less frequent maintenance and resealing. It is available in a wide colour range, making it suitable for both functional and aesthetically sensitive installations.

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HM?
Arbosil HM delivers rapid cure with a skin time of 10–20 minutes, a 25+ year service life, and excellent adhesion to a broad range of substrates including ceramics, glass, laminates, and worktops. Its fungicide formulation actively inhibits mould growth, while its low modulus ensures long-term flexibility to accommodate movement. Available in multiple colours including White, Black, and Translucent, it meets BS EN ISO 11600 F/G 20LM.

3

What is the ARBOSEAL Pro® range?
The ARBOSEAL Pro® range is a comprehensive portfolio of professional-grade sealants manufactured by Adshead Ratcliffe under the ARBO® brand. The range covers silicone, modified polymer, polyurethane, polysulphide, epoxy, acrylic, butyl, and oil-based sealant technologies, providing a complete solution for sealing, bonding, and jointing across all types of construction projects — from glazing and cladding to flooring, facades, and secure environments.
 

4

Which ARBOSEAL Pro® sealant is right for my application?
Product selection depends on the substrate type, joint movement, environmental exposure, and performance requirements. Neutral cure silicones (e.g. Arbosil LMS, Arbosil 1096 S) suit glazing and perimeter sealing. High-modulus options (e.g. Arbomeric MP20) handle structural joints. Polysulphides (e.g. Arbokol AG2, Arbokol 2150) provide chemical resistance for floors, roofs, and water-retaining structures. Epoxy sealants (e.g. Arbokol SECURE, Arbokol 1025 SP) deliver hard-wearing seals for secure environments and pool applications. Contact ARBO® Technical Services for specific guidance.
 

5

What surface preparation is required before applying an ARBOSEAL Pro® sealant?
All joint faces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, loose material, and previous sealant residues. For porous substrates such as concrete and brickwork, the application of an ARBO® primer is recommended to maximise adhesion. Always consult the product-specific Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for primer and cleaner recommendations. Application should be carried out in accordance with BS 8000-16:1997 + A1:2010.
 
 

6

Where can I find technical documentation for ARBOSEAL Pro® products?
Technical Data Sheets (TDS), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and Declarations of Performance (DoP) for all ARBOSEAL Pro® products are available for download on each individual product page at arbo.co.uk. The full ARBO® Product Catalogue is also available for download. For further technical support or specification advice, contact ARBO® Technical Services directly.
