Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil 1090 for cladding and curtain wall applications?
Arbosil 1090 provides 70% movement accommodation in butt joints — significantly higher than many standard neutral cure silicones — making it the preferred choice for joints subject to considerable thermal and structural movement in cladding and curtain walling systems. Its excellent adhesion to concrete, brickwork, and metals without the need for primer in many applications makes it efficient to specify and apply on both new-build and remedial projects.

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil 1090?
Arbosil 1090 combines very high movement accommodation (70% butt, 150% lap) with neutral cure chemistry, making it compatible with a wide range of sensitive substrates and finishes. With a 25+ year service life, ISO 11600 F/G – 25 LM compliance, and availability in colours including Dark Bronze and Portland, it supports both performance and aesthetic specification requirements. Supplied in 380 ml polyethylene cartridges applied with the ARBO® Caulking Gun, it is straightforward to apply 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.
