Frequently Asked Questions
No. ARBO® PVC Solvent Cleaner evaporates quickly without leaving any residue, making it suitable for use directly prior to sealing or bonding operations on PVC window frames and doors.
ARBO® PVC Solvent Cleaner is a specialised solvent cleaner designed for cleaning PVC surfaces on windows and doors. It thoroughly removes dirt, oils and contaminants from PVC surfaces, preparing them for subsequent sealing or bonding operations.
ARBO® offers a comprehensive range of ancillary products to support professional joint sealing and surface preparation. This includes primers (AG2 Porous Primer, ARBO® Primer 2650, ARBO® Primer 925), a full range of cleaners and degreasers (ARBO Cleaner 16, ARBO Cleaner 17, ARBO Glass Cleaner, ARBO® PVC Solvent Cleaner), and specialist products such as CARLISLE® Foam Cleaner for equipment maintenance.
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieving the specified performance of any ARBO® sealant. Joint faces must be clean, dry and free from all contamination. Failure to degrease and prime correctly can result in adhesion failure. ARBO® Cleaners remove oils and residues; ARBO® Primers promote adhesion on porous substrates. All joint preparation should be carried out in accordance with BS 8000-16: 1997 + A1: 2010.
ARBO Cleaner 16 (alcohol-based) is recommended for sensitive surfaces including PVCu, EPDM, glass, painted surfaces, and powder-coated substrates. ARBO Cleaner 17 (Xylene-based) is suited to harder substrates including aluminium, steel, copper, GRP, untreated timber, and concrete. ARBO Glass Cleaner is formulated specifically for glass and impervious reflective surfaces. ARBO PVC Solvent Cleaner is designed for solvent cleaning of PVC window frames and doors.
