Product Description:
Arbosil HM is a One-part High Modulus Acetoxy Cure Silicone Sealant, which cures rapidly on exposure to moisture vapour to form a resilient elastic silicone rubber. This product contains a fungicide to make it resistant to fungus and mildew. Arbosil HM bonds well to acrylic, ceramic, metal, glass and laminate surfaces and will not discolour during its service life whilst maintaining good elasticity.Â
