HB stands for Hilton Banks, the family behind the business for six generations, bringing decades of trade know-how to every product they make.

The "42" is a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is famously the answer to life, the universe and everything. It also says a lot about us, we're terrible at saying no to giving away freebies at trade shows, simply because we can't believe more people aren't already using our products. Try them once, and we're confident you'll never look back.

From the award-winning Ultimate Sealant & Adhesive that started it all, the range has grown into a full line-up of sealants, fillers, caulks, adhesives, coatings and floor protection, all built to the same standard: get the job done right, first time. Whether you're sealing a joint, filling a gap, or protecting a floor mid-job, there's an HB42 product that's already thought it through so you don't have to.

Six generations of trade knowledge, distilled into products the professionals reach for again and again - that's HB42.
