Will Wallpaper Adhesive Affect Your Health?

Wallpaper will be more environmentally friendly than wall paint. It is believed that brushing wall paint may affect health, but wallpaper will not. However, wallpaper requires glue, and people have always been worried about glue for fear of being harmful to their health. So, is the wallpaper glue poisonous? Let's get to know.

What is the glue for wallpaper?

At present, the commonly used wallpaper glue mainly includes barrel glue, Japanese glue and starch glue. Are these three kinds of glue environmentally friendly?

1. Barreled glue: Barreled glue is mostly imported from Europe and the United States, and its price is relatively expensive. There are also home-made ones. Usually, there is a plastic bag in the plastic bucket and it contains glue. When purchasing barreled rubber, consumers need to see the import declaration form, certificate of origin, Chinese logo, environmental protection testing report of the National Building Materials Testing Center, etc. provided by the merchants. Only these materials can prove the authenticity of the product.

2. Japanese glue: Japanese glue is glutinous rice glue or strong glue. When purchasing, you need to check the customs declaration form, certificate of origin, Chinese logo, and the environmental protection testing report of the National Building Materials Testing Center to prove the authenticity of the product.

3. Starch glue: generally, starch glue is environmentally friendly and almost contains no chemical ingredients. But don't take it lightly. You can smell the glue directly when you buy it. If you smell a pungent smell, you can't buy it; And for those without taste, you can't buy them with confidence. It is suggested to pay attention to the Chinese mark of the package, including the product composition, production date, manufacturer and other information, and also ask the merchants to provide the environmental protection testing report of the National Building Materials Testing Center.

When choosing glue, you should also pay attention to the water content and PH value of the wall, and observe the good weather. In case of rainy weather during construction and within 7 days after completion, the wallpaper is prone to salivation, mildew, peeling or edge warping. At present, there are also environmentally friendly wallpaper glues on the market, mainly water-based wallpaper glues made of potato flour and wheat.

Compared with paint, wallpaper is safer, but for the health of yourself and your family, you should be careful when choosing glue.
