Dec 11, 2022

A customer said that his family needed to paste wallpaper to decorate his new house. A friend recommended sticky rice glue to paste wallpaper. He said it was safe and free of formaldehyde. But he checked on the Internet and found that some families used sticky rice glue to make their children sick. Is glutinous rice glue not environmentally friendly? To answer this question, let's first know what glutinous rice glue is.


What is glutinous rice glue?

Glutinous rice glue is a high-performance adhesive for wallpaper. High quality glutinous rice glue is refined with pure natural edible starch as raw material. It is also a convenient pure natural plant adhesive. When opening the glue, you only need to add water to stir it evenly, without adding additional.

In the modern production process, in order to reduce the production cost of glutinous rice glue, industrial white glue is added, which is the reason why the inferior "glutinous rice glue" formaldehyde exceeds the standard.

The chaos of the industry and the flooding of fake goods in the market is a major incentive for indoor decoration pollution. As a wallpaper auxiliary material, glutinous rice glue has also been "trapped" by the fake goods shop, becoming a "disaster area" of home decoration pollution. The fake and shoddy auxiliary materials produced by some small manufacturers and small workshops have become the main source of formaldehyde for home decoration.

There are three kinds of fake glutinous rice glue circulating in the market:


1、 Coarse modeling

Many small brands of glutinous rice glue on the market are produced in small workshops. They are made of chemical materials that are very harmful to human health. They are mixed with industrial white glue. In order to cover up the irritating smell, essence containing benzene is added, thus burying great potential safety hazards in home decoration.


2、 Counterfeit famous brand

Use inferior glutinous rice glue to replace or imitate the appearance of well-known brands in the industry for packaging, confusing consumers and making them think they are buying authentic glutinous rice glue.


3、 Pretend to be imported

Fake or industrial glue is packaged in English or Japanese and then sold to the market, claiming to be imported glutinous rice glue. Fake imports can be found everywhere in the formaldehyde removal industry, which means that consumers are attracted to the "worship of foreign countries" mentality,
