Correct usage method for wall covering adhesive
Generally, wall fabrics are applied using both adhesive and backing material. The adhesive for wall fabrics not only serves to adhere the fabric to the wall but also possesses properties such as moisture resistance, alkali resistance, and antibacterial/antiviral properties, thereby protecting the fabric.
One、Wall fabric backing material usage
1、Anti-mold and moisture-proof: Forms a protective layer on the wall surface, effectively preventing mold and moisture damage to wall fabrics.
2、Alkali resistance: The film's alkali resistance can further protect the wall surface.
3、Curing the wall surface: The base film allows for a smooth and hardened wall surface, with sufficient adhesion on the surface.
4、Easy for Subsequent Application: The base film can be firmly attached to the wall substrate, allowing for easy removal and replacement when wallpaper is applied.
II. How to use wall fabric adhesive
Currently, wall covering adhesives are categorized into three main types: starch-based adhesives, Japanese-style adhesives, and bucket-packaged adhesives.
1、Starch-based adhesive: When preparing starch-based adhesive, first dissolve the starch in warm water, then add the adhesive solution and mix thoroughly. When dissolving the starch, the water temperature should not be too high, and it should not be poured out completely before adding water. Instead, add warm water and starch gradually to prevent the starch from clumping, which can affect the wall-covering effect.
2. Japanese Adhesive: The preparation of Japanese adhesive is relatively simple. Simply pour the Japanese adhesive liquid into a clean container and stir in 3 increments with water until the liquid becomes fine and viscous. However, Japanese adhesive has a drawback: when the temperature is too low, it can cause uneven mixing, resulting in clumping of the liquid, which affects the wallpaper effect.
3、Bucket-packaged Adhesive: Bucket-packaged adhesives can be used directly and are typically imported. They offer good environmental performance and bonding strength. However, bucket-packaged adhesives are relatively expensive and are rarely used in home renovation projects.
