SumoLab spends its days stressing bonds to the point of failure — pulling, soaking, heating and ageing them — so the ones that reach your site simply don't.
Every result feeds back into the formulation. That's how “strong enough” keeps getting a little stronger.
The calibrated bench our technicians run SUMOTILE and SUMODRY formulations against — 38+ instruments, moulds and specimens, from a full test-sieve set to a 2000 kN compression machine.
SumoLab is equipped to run complete test methods for tile & stone adhesives, grouts, ready-mix mortars and waterproofing — to the Indian and international standards that define a pass.
Every test starts the same way: with a sealed sample, a batch number and a technician who won't sign it off until the numbers say so.
A representative sample is drawn from the running production batch, sealed and tagged with its batch number.
The sample is booked into the QC register so every result stays traceable back to that exact batch.
Sample and specimens are held in the controlled room at 23°C and 50% RH for the standard period.
Technician mixes to the exact water ratio and casts specimens on standard slabs, blocks or moulds.
Results are checked against spec: pass and the batch is released; fail and it is held or rejected.
Different products, different standards and rigs. Pick a product to walk through the method SumoLab follows — the kit, the steps and the number it has to hit.
Consistent flow batch-to-batch means the adhesive combs, wets and grabs the same every time — usually the first sign a batch has drifted off-spec.
It answers the only question that matters on site — how hard can you pull before the tile lets go, even after years of exposure.
Adhesive skins over as it waits. A longer open time means far fewer weak, hollow bonds when work slows.
Wall tiles shouldn’t creep while you work — reduced-slip grades let you set them and move on.
Large formats, heated screeds and moving substrates need an adhesive that bends instead of breaking.
Every method SumoLab runs each formulation against — mapped to the Indian and international standards that define a pass.
Design a mix for a real substrate, climate and job — not a lab fantasy.
Run it against the standards — bond, slip, open time, deformability.
Push past spec until it fails, then note exactly where and why.
Feed it back in and go again — until the margin is comfortable.
