ArbomastBR - Permanently Pliable Butyl Rubber Sealant for Curtain Wall and Ductwork

Arbomast BR is a one-part butyl rubber sealant that forms a surface skin but remains permanently pliable and non-setting in the bulk of the material. Designed for metal-to-metal closed joints in curtain wall and window assemblies, metal lap and fixing joints, bedding applications, and HVAC ductwork joints, it provides airtight and watertight sealing with a 20+ year service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbomast BR for curtain wall and metal construction joints?
Arbomast BR is specifically formulated as a permanently pliable butyl rubber sealant for applications where the sealant must remain flexible and accommodating throughout its service life without fully curing. This characteristic is essential for metal-to-metal curtain wall joints and HVAC ductwork, where repeated thermal expansion and contraction would cause a fully cured elastic sealant to fatigue over time. Its 24-hour skin time allows handling of assembled joints quickly whilst the bulk remains permanently workable

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbomast BR?
Arbomast BR provides a permanently pliable, watertight and airtight seal for metal construction applications, with a 20+ year service life when protected from direct sunlight. Its excellent adhesion to aluminium, steel, and coated metals makes it compatible with the full range of curtain wall and window assembly materials. Applied via standard ARBO® Caulking Gun in polyethylene cartridges, it is straightforward to apply on both factory and site.

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.
