Three. What adhesive should be used to repair damaged wallpaper?
1、Bucket-packaged adhesive
The quality of the bucket-packaged adhesive is commendable, as it not only has excellent environmental performance but also possesses a high viscosity. Currently, most bucket-packaged adhesives available on the market are imported from Europe and the United States. When purchasing bucket-packaged adhesives, it is essential to verify the origin certificate, customs declaration, environmental testing labels (such as EU certification and the TENSTAR certification), and Chinese labels to ensure that you can purchase branded adhesives.
2、Rice paste
Rice glue, also known as "Dali glue," is a non-toxic and odorless, environmentally friendly adhesive made from pure natural rice or glutinous rice. It originated in Japan and is also known as Japanese glue. Rice glue is not only environmentally friendly but also easy to use. It only requires adding water for dilution during application.
3、Starch-based adhesive
Starch-based adhesives contain starch. Starch-based adhesives are typically sold as a combination of "powder and liquid" in the market. The method of use is to dissolve the powder in water and then add the liquid and mix. When selecting the liquid, it is important to pay close attention, and it is best to open and smell it before purchase. If it has a strong, irritating odor, it may not be environmentally friendly. Also, check for complete and accurate environmental testing labels, Chinese packaging labels, production addresses, and product component information.
