ARBOSIL HDLMS - High-Viscosity Neutral Cure Silicone Sealant

ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HDLMS is a one-part neutral cure low modulus silicone sealant formulated with higher viscosity for improved tooling performance. Suitable for joints in translucent roofing sheets, MVP and Heel Bead glazing methods, perimeter sealing of uPVC frames, and industrial applications including HVAC ducting, it provides a quick skin time and 25+ year service life.

Unique properties of ARBOSEAL Po® Arbosil HDLMS

ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HDLMS combines the proven performance of neutral cure silicone with higher viscosity for improved workability in overhead, vertical, and industrial applications.

  • Higher viscosity formulation — stays in place and tools cleanly in demanding joint positions

  • Quick skin time of 10–20 minutes — reduces smearing risk and speeds installation

  • Suitable for translucent roofing sheets — compatible with polycarbonate and glass systems

  • MVP Glazing and Heel Bead compatible — specified for double-glazed unit installation

  • Industrial-grade performance — suitable for HVAC ducting, stainless steel, and coated metals

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

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Why choose ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HDLMS for roofing and glazing applications?
Arbosil HDLMS is formulated with higher viscosity than standard neutral cure silicones, giving it improved sag resistance and tooling behaviour on vertical surfaces, overhead joints, and the heel bead positions used in glazing. This makes it particularly suited to translucent roofing applications and MVP or Heel Bead glazing methods where sealant slumping would compromise the seal. Its quick 10–20 minute skin time also reduces the risk of contamination during installation.

2

What are the key benefits of ARBOSEAL Pro® Arbosil HDLMS?
Arbosil HDLMS delivers the chemical compatibility and durability of a neutral cure silicone in a higher viscosity format that improves workability across a wide range of applications from roofing to HVAC ducting. With 50% butt joint movement accommodation, a 25+ year service life, and compliance with BS EN ISO 11600 F – 25 LM, it is suitable for long-term specification. Its compatibility with common industrial substrates including stainless steel, lead, and coated metals extends its range beyond standard construction applications.

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.
