Does the glue used to paste wall coverings contain formaldehyde?

If you are pasting wall cloth in your home, you will use glue. In this case, you will suspect that it contains formaldehyde, which will have a significant impact on your physical condition. Therefore, it is best to buy some better glue, so that the amount of formaldehyde contained in it will be smaller, and try to open the windows for ventilation, so as to prevent harm to the human body.

1. The selection of wallpaper glue is very important, how to avoid damage

1. Inferior quality glue contains many harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, which we often talk about.

2. Latex paint has good volatility. After the house is vacant for a period of time, the harmful substances will evaporate. Therefore, whether you are decorating, pasting wallpaper or purchasing new furniture, do not move into the new home immediately to avoid causing unnecessary harm to the human body.

3. Choose high-quality environmentally friendly glue.

2. What are the glues for wallpaper and what is environmental glue?

There are roughly two types of glue on the market: starch glue and glutinous rice glue. One is glue powder made from potato flour, and the other is wet glue made from glutinous rice. The price of glutinous rice glue is relatively high. However, the editor recommends an environmentally friendly glue, which is a water-based wallpaper glue made from potato flour and wheat.

1. Starch glue: As the name suggests, the main ingredient of starch glue is starch, which is completely safe and healthy. High-quality starch glue must undergo environmental testing by the National Building Materials Testing Center, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the standards. Only qualified products will not have any impact on human health.

But it does not mean that there is no smell at all. If the glue contains a trace smell of alcohol or gasoline, this is normal.

2. Glutinous rice glue: Compared with starch glue, glutinous rice glue, also known as super glue, has stronger adhesion. This product is made in Japan, but it should be noted that this glue will easily produce small bumps when used in low temperatures. If these small bumps are not handled, they may affect the wallpaper effect.

3. Choose the right glue and wallpaper

It is best to choose fireproof wallpaper, because appropriate amounts of titanium dioxide, stabilizers, viscosity reducers and other substances will be added during the processing of wallpaper. In addition, some flame retardants, brighteners, foaming agents, antioxidants and other auxiliary materials will be added as needed. These things generally do not cause harm under normal environmental conditions, but if a fire occurs, they will produce chlorine gas, which may suffocate people. Here is a warm reminder: if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a fire, you must try to keep your body low. According to data, 80% of the people at the scene of large fires are not burned to death, but die from suffocation due to inhaling large amounts of toxic smoke.
