One, what adhesive is used for pure paper wallpaper?
Currently, using rice-based adhesive is recognized as the most environmentally friendly option for applying self-adhesive wallpaper. Its adhesion strength is also several times higher than that of conventional adhesive powders. However, there are also many fake rice-based adhesives available on the market, which requires us to distinguish between genuine and fake products.
Fake rice glue, uniformly white, with a chemical odor, and those that can be adjusted resemble jelly, are difficult to mix, and require multiple additions of water. Otherwise, they will clump. This is due to the addition of chemical additives such as starch and PVA, with the purpose of reducing costs and making the glue appear thicker. However, this significantly reduces its environmental friendliness and adhesion properties.
Genuine rice-based adhesive, which should be a rice-flour color and have the aroma of rice, without any chemical additives. This type of adhesive is the most environmentally friendly and can effectively extend the lifespan of pure paper wallpaper.
