Acrylic Sealants

Choosing the right sealant is essential for optimal results in your project. See below why an acrylic sealant is the best choice for internal construction projects. If you can't find the right sealant, contact a member of our team, and they can help you find the right solution.

Internal Joints

ARBOcaulk is an excellent choice for internal low-movement joints, such as those around window and door frames. This acrylic sealant provides reliable adhesion to various substrates without a primer, ensuring a strong bond and long-lasting performance.

Suitable for Dry Environments

The ARBOcaulk acrylic sealant is designed for dry environments, making it ideal for interior spaces. However, it is unsuitable for external or high-movement joints, so ensure you select the right product for your application.

Skirting Boards

Acrylic sealants are perfect for sealing gaps around skirting boards, providing a neat, professional finish. They help prevent minor draughts and air leaks, improving energy efficiency and aesthetics.

Walls and Ceilings

An acrylic sealant is ideal for filling joints between plasterboard or drywall sections. It ensures a smooth and even transition between surfaces, helping eliminate gaps and ensuring a clean, seamless finish in new constructions and renovations.

Joint Widths

These sealants are versatile and effective in joint widths ranging from 6mm to 20mm. They provide a reliable seal without needing to apply them multiple times.

Joint Depths

Acrylic sealants work best with a depth of at least 10mm for porous surfaces like brick or plaster. For non-porous surfaces such as metal or glass, a depth of 6mm is enough. This ensures a strong and lasting seal.

ARBO acrylic sealants offer a range of benefits that make them the preferred choice for construction and maintenance projects:

Wide Range of Applications

Acrylic sealants can be used for internal joints, skirting boards, ceilings, and other areas that require a smooth, non-cracking seal. They're perfect for small—to medium-sized renovation projects and new-build interiors.

Superior Adhesion to Multiple Surfaces

ARBO acrylic sealants, especially ARBOcaulk, bond well with wood, plaster and brick. This ensures effective sealing in diverse substrates without needing a primer, saving you time and effort on preparation.

Paintability 

Once applied, acrylic sealants can be painted, providing a clean finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surfaces. This feature is essential for projects where the aesthetic finish matters, especially when working with exposed gaps and joints.

Fast-Drying Time

An acrylic sealant dries quickly, allowing for faster project completion. Within a few hours, you can paint over the sealed areas, reducing the waiting time and accelerating the overall process.

Durability for Indoor Use 

While unsuitable for high-movement or outdoor applications, acrylic sealants are durable indoors. They offer a reliable seal that lasts for years, even in areas with moderate wear and tear.

Cost-Effective 

ARBO acrylic sealants provide a budget-friendly solution without compromising on performance. Their longevity and easy application ensure they offer good value for money.

Mould Resistance 

An acrylic sealant helps stop mould and mildew from growing. This is especially useful in places with high humidity, like kitchens and bathrooms.

All joint preparation, priming, and sealant application should be carried out in accordance with BS 8000 Part 16, the British Standard for the sealing of joints in buildings using sealants. If you need an acrylic sealant that complies with specific standards, speak to our team and they can suggest the best product for you.
