Adhesives, shrouds, glazing, hatches, and control consoles engineered to meet the same standards as the barrier they support.

Full Range of Cleanroom Components
A Complete System, Down to the Details
Every Arcoplast primary barrier depends on more than the panel itself. Adhesives, sealants, protective shrouds, glazing, hatches, and control consoles complete the system, each engineered to meet the same containment and sanitation standards as the wall and ceiling systems they support.
Whether sealing a penetration, concealing MEPs, or managing secure access to a facility, these components are built to work as one continuous, sealed environment rather than a collection of separate parts. The result is a primary barrier that performs consistently from the panel surface down to the smallest connection point.
All Arcoplast Components

A-1010 Bio-Seal • A-2020 Structural Adhesive
A-1010 Bio-Seal, a three in one adhesive, sealant, and finishing compound, and A-2020 structural adhesive sit at the core of the Arcoplast dry build method. This works alongside VHB tape, back plates, splines, fasteners, and one of three Arcoplast panel systems. With this small set of components, a well trained crew can build a seamless primary barrier to the highest national and international standards, anywhere in the world.
Both A-1010 and A-2020 have been lab and field tested to meet or exceed the standards required across complex industries. This works seamlessly in pharmaceutical production, food and beverage manufacturing, IT, health care, vivariums, and biosafety laboratories, rated CL-3, CL-4, ABSL-3, BSL-3, BSL-3Ag, BSL-4, PC3, and PC4.
A-1010 Bio-Seal: Adhesive Sealant Finishing Compound
A twin cartridge, equal mix, high strength aliphatic urethane adhesive that bonds, seals, and finishes composite panel joints and coving in a single application, touch dry in 12 hours and fully cured in 72.
- Pristine white or translucent, colorfast and non yellowing
- Chemically neutral, non-porous, high gloss, odor free
- Non sag on vertical surfaces, low shrinkage
- Impermeable with a perm rate of 0.002 g/m²/hour (versus silicone’s 1.000), resisting moisture, mildew, fungus, and vermin
- No VOCs detected, compliant with ABSL-3, BSL-3, BSL-3Ag, BSL-4, and seismic categories A through F
A-2020 Structural Adhesive
A twin tube methacrylate adhesive, amber in color, non sag on vertical surfaces, and fully cured in 4 hours.
- Gap filling capacity of 0.25 inch (6mm), low shrinkage
- No VOCs detected, compliant with ABSL-3, BSL-3, BSL-3Ag, BSL-4, and seismic categories A through F
A-2020 works in combination with A-1010 Bio-Seal: A-2020 bonds materials first, and once cured, Bio-Seal seals and finishes the joint, seam, or penetration. Its adhesion strength also allows devices and MEPs to attach directly to the barrier without fasteners, and it’s impermeable, vermin resistant, and certified for CL-3, CL-4, PC3, PC4, BSL-3, and BSL-4.
Protective Shrouds, Face Plates & Grommets
Arcoform protective shrouds are a modular system built from fire retardant resin and embedded glass strand fiber mat, finished with the same high gloss, antimicrobial GelCoat surface used across Arcoplast panels. Available in a range of profiles, including beam and column covers, bulkheads, soffits, fascias, and utility chases, shrouds conceal and protect building structures and MEP services from corrosion and structural decay, with a streamlined design that supports efficient cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization. Custom profiles can be made to nearly any specification.
Arcoform also extends to a catalog of face plates and grommets.
Protective Shrouds
Arcoform box covers, bulkheads, fascias, and utility chases assemble like a kit, with the cage frame mechanically fastened together and no brackets, external fasteners, or auxiliary attachments needed. A small, experienced crew can install or retrofit even complex designs with no specialized tools, welding, or painting required, and A-1010 Bio-Seal joins and finishes shrouds and third party components, with any damage repairable using the Arcoplast GC repair kit.
- Building code, USDA, and FDA compliant, with strong impact resistance
- Pristine White or most PMS colors, colorfast, antimicrobial, and chemical resilient
- Ultra smooth GelCoat surface, repairable on site, back to new
- Cleaned with chlorine dioxide, formaldehyde gas, or hydrogen peroxide vapor
A-2020 Structural Adhesive
Face plates are made from Acryloyl, offered as off the shelf options or built to custom requirements, in two formats: solid, one piece plates available in rings, caps, squares, rectangles, and ovals, or PuzzleLock, two piece interlocking plates designed to fit around MEPs and fixtures. Both formats support nearly unlimited shapes and sizes, up to 5 by 12 feet (1524 by 3600 mm).
- Compliant with ABSL-3, BSL-3, BSL-3Ag, BSL-4, and seismic categories A through F
- No VOCs detected, chemically neutral, LBC 4.0 certified
- White or most PMS colors, sealed and finished with A-1010 Bio-Seal
- Cleaned with chlorine dioxide, formaldehyde gas, hydrogen peroxide vapor, squeegee wipe down, or water spray hose wash down
Grommets
Arcoform box covers, bulkheads, fascias, and utility chases assemble like a kit, with the cage frame mechanically fastened together and no brackets, external fasteners, or auxiliary attachments needed. A small, experienced crew can install or retrofit even complex designs with no specialized tools, welding, or painting required, and A-1010 Bio-Seal joins and finishes shrouds and third party components, with any damage repairable using the Arcoplast GC repair kit.

Access & Services Hatches
Arcoplast access and service hatches range in size, shape, and function. Some service hatches include an enclosure shell for housing devices, maintaining the primary barrier whether the hatch is open or closed.
Access hatches allow entry into a wall cavity or the interstitial space of a ceiling, with the hatch seal maintaining the primary barrier up to BSL-3 when closed. Most hatches can include a viewing window for real time equipment monitoring, and can be purpose built or retrofitted into walls, ceilings, or Arcoform shrouds like bulkheads, fascias, and utility chases.
Key features

VLADS
The Arcoplast VLADS acts as the laboratory’s nucleus, an all encompassing control center giving staff secure access to assigned sectors along with full control of each environment based on real time operational information. Each VLADS is assembled as a customized module to ensure the correct interface between electronics and components, and mounts seamlessly into the primary or secondary barrier once installed.
Fully Customizable Central Command Console
VLADS doors are made to measure and factory assembled to customer specifications, hung on a concealed, nickel plated, self-closing hinge with 175 degrees of motion for unhindered access to cabling, decon ports, air filters, and hardware. LDUs, monitoring sensors, and gauge cutouts are all factory cut with a precision CNC router, keeping on-site tooling to a minimum for a quick, easy installation.
- Solves cable management by providing easy access to the entire cable feed
- Allows outdated monitoring systems or malfunctioning sensors to be replaced without compromising the barrier
- Can be quickly repurposed to meet new or urgent research needs
