Pre-glued glass fabric wall covering

摘要

An improved pre-glued glass fiber wallcovering and process for its formation are provided. Initially, both sides of a glass fabric are coated with a first coating applied from an aqueous dispersion of a starch binder and a polymeric latex binder. In a preferred embodiment a cross-linking agent and pigment also are present in the first aqueous dispersion. Following the drying of such dispersion to form a first coating on both surfaces, a second dried coating is provided on one side only. The second coating is applied from an aqueous dispersion of starch in the absence of a polymeric latex binder. Such second coating also is dried and is capable of serving as an adhesive for the attachment of the resulting wallcovering to the wall when wetted by spraying with water). Once applied to the wall the wallcovering requires only one coat of paint.
