Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbokol SECURE for prisons and anti-vandalism applications?
Arbokol SECURE is formulated as a two-part epoxy to achieve a Shore D hardness of 60–70, creating a seal that is extremely resistant to picking, prying, and deliberate removal. Standard silicone and polysulphide sealants can be picked or removed relatively easily, creating both security and safety risks in custodial environments. Arbokol SECURE is the solution specified by architects and specifiers for prisons, custody suites, and secure facilities where sealant integrity is a security requirement.

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbokol SECURE?
ARBOKOL SECURE provides a non-pick, non-removable seal with a Shore D hardness of 60–70, a 25+ year service life, and excellent chemical resistance. No primer is required for application to tile, concrete, and ceramic substrates, simplifying installation in cell fit-out programmes. Supplied as a 1.2 litre two-part set that is mixed and filled into cartridge dispensers using a follower plate, it is applied efficiently using the ARBO Caulking Gun.

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.

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.
