In environments where standard elastic sealants struggle to perform, Arbo Arbokol 1025 SP offers a robust alternative. Designed as a two-part epoxy system, it cures to a dense, durable seal that excels in wet, chemically exposed, and mechanically demanding internal applications.
Unlike flexible sealants designed for high movement, Arbokol 1025 SP is optimised for joints that experience compression rather than extension. This makes it particularly effective in swimming pools, shower rooms, and tiled areas where joint edges are rigid and movement is controlled. Its ability to withstand continuous water immersion sets it apart from many conventional jointing products.
From a practical standpoint, the product is supplied in accurately pre-portioned units, removing guesswork during mixing. Thorough blending of the base and curing agent is essential, but once mixed, the sealant can be applied using standard bulk loading or cartridge guns. This allows precise placement and good control, even in narrow or recessed joints.
Once cured, Arbokol 1025 SP delivers excellent resistance to common pool chemicals, cleaning agents, fuels, and dilute acids and alkalis. This makes it suitable for leisure facilities, commercial wash areas, and service environments where aggressive cleaning regimes are unavoidable. Its typical service temperature range from -20°C to +90°C also supports use in thermally variable internal locations.
The finished joint has a hard, abrasion-resistant surface that helps maintain appearance over time. While it is not intended for structural movement joints, its long service life—often exceeding 20 years in non-critical applications—makes it a reliable choice where durability is prioritised over elasticity.
For specifiers and installers, Arbokol 1025 SP provides confidence in challenging conditions. When joints are prepared correctly and installation follows recognised standards, it delivers consistent, long-term performance in areas where failure would be costly and disruptive.
