Unique properties of Arbomeric MP20

Arbomeric MP20 is a one-part high modulus modified polymer sealant that cures on exposure to moisture vapour to form a tough, elastic rubber. Formulated for structural joints in heavy cladding, heavily trafficked floor joints, and anti-pick/anti-vandalism applications in secure environments, it delivers a 25+ year service life and meets BS EN ISO 11600 F – 20 HM.

  • High modulus formulation — resists deformation under load in trafficked and structural joints

  • Anti-pick and anti-vandalism — specified for prisons, secure units, and high-security environments

  • One-part convenience — moisture cure, no mixing required

  • Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates without primer in most applications

  • Available in White, Grey, and Black to suit specification requirements

  • 25+ year service life — meets BS EN ISO 11600 F – 20 HM

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbomeric MP20 for structural and anti-vandalism joints?
Arbomeric MP20 is a high modulus modified polymer sealant specifically engineered for joints where resistance to deformation and anti-pick performance are critical. Unlike low modulus silicones, its higher stiffness makes it extremely difficult to pick or remove, making it the specified solution for prisons, secure units, and high-security environments. It also handles the dynamic loads of heavily trafficked floor joints, where softer sealants would degrade prematurely.

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbomeric MP20?
Arbomeric MP20 delivers high modulus performance with a Shore A hardness of approximately 50 and a tensile strength at break of 1.3–1.6 N/mm². Its 35% butt joint movement accommodation, 25+ year service life, and compliance with BS EN ISO 11600 F – 20 HM make it suitable for the most demanding structural and security applications. As a one-part moisture-cure sealant, it requires no mixing, reducing the risk of application errors on 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.
