Loctite® Brand Launches Powerful New Polyurethane Glue
Loctite® Sumo™ Glue outmuscles competition with superior speed and strength
Avon, Ohio (May 9-11, 2006) – There is a new heavyweight adhesive shaking up the polyurethane glue ring. Henkel Consumer Adhesives, Inc., announces the launch of Loctite® Sumo™ Glue, an innovative new polyurethane technology that sets three times faster than traditional polyurethane glue, offers superior bond strength, and is less foaming.
One of the most common requests from polyurethane glue users is for a product with a faster set time. Loctite Sumo Glue is a new universal, heavy-duty adhesive that sets in 30 minutes on porous surfaces and 90 minutes on non-porous surfaces, three times faster than traditional polyurethane glues, reducing clamp time, and helping projects get done more quickly. The product’s speed is matched by its power. Loctite Sumo Glue offers superior bond strength versus the leading brand, with a 100% waterproof polyurethane formula that is an ideal choice for interior and exterior projects on a wide variety of surfaces such as wood, ceramic, stone, concrete, metal, and much more.
The unique formula not only allows for a rapid and powerful bond, but also produces minimal foaming to reduce mess and allow for easier use and more professional results. Loctite Sumo Glue dries translucent/white, and fully cures in 24 hours, after which the product can be sanded, painted and stained to disguise glue lines.
Loctite Sumo Glue is available at Lowe’s nationwide in a 2-fluid ounce bottle for a suggested retail price of $4.97; a 4-fluid ounce bottle for $6.79; and an 8-fluid ounce bottle for $12.79. For more information, visit www.sumoglue.com.

For more than 50 years, the brand has been solving projects with advanced, high-performance adhesive formulas and innovative dispensing systems.
