摘要

Wallcoverings which include a nonwoven synthetic substrate and a water--based ground coating which is applied thereto. The ground coating includes emulsion polymer pigment binders and a mineral pigment composition. The ground coating provides the nonwoven substrate with superior printing and durability properties, enabling the production of wallcoverings which may be printed with a decorative design. The wallcoverings are desirable for environmental, health, and safety reasons.
