ARBOKOL SECURE

MAIN APPLICATIONS

Prisons – perimeter sealing of cell doors and windows. Sealing of fixings and sanitary ware, anti-pick/anti vandalism joints, heavy duty floor joints, tile to tile joints (no primer required), shower rooms. 

NB. Not recommended for structural joints.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Joint Preparation - The joint surfaces must be clean and free from all contamination. Surfaces should be degreased using the appropriate surface cleaner (contact ARBO Technical Services for further information).
Mixing - The ratio of base: curing agent controls the performance properties of Arbokol Secure and tins are filled off to an exact mixing ratio. It is vital therefore that the whole contents of the Curing Agent tin are added to the base tin. The 2 components must be thoroughly mixed to ensure complete homogeneity. (Spiral “pig tail” mixing equipment is recommended).

APPLICATION

• The usual application method once mixed is to fill the sealant into empty cartridge dispensers using a heavy-duty follower plate.

• The cartridge is then placed over the hole in the centre of the plate. Applying steady downward pressure will then fill the cartridge.

• Insert plunger into the cartridge and the mixed sealant is then ready for application using an Arbo Caulking Gun.

• The sealant should be extruded firmly into the joint by maintaining an even pressure on the trigger of the gun.
  
  Joint Backing - Where applicable, use appropriately sized cross-linked, closed cell Polyethylene foam. All joint preparation and sealant application should be carried out in accordance with BS8000-16 : 1997 + A1: 2010 (British standard for the sealing of joints in buildings).
