Application

  • Suitable for use in swimming pools, compression joints, tile to tile joints (no primer required), long term water immersed joints, shower rooms.
  • Not recommended for structural joints.

Description

Arbokol 1025 SP is a unique two part epoxy sealant which cures to form a hard wearing seal, designed to accommodate small amounts of movement in extension but considerable movement in compression.


Features and benefits:

  • Recommended for use in a variety of internal stress relief joint systems where continual water resistance and a high degree of chemical resistance (especially to common cleaning substances) are required.
  • Where applicable, appropriate joint filler, e.g. closed cell polyethylene foam should be used to provide the correct joint depth.
  • All joint preparation and sealant application should be carried out in accordance with BS 8000-16 (British Standard for the sealing of joints in buildings).
  • Anticipated service life in excess of 20 years.
