Wallpaper adhesive

摘要

A wallpaper adhesive includes a modified carbohydrate (e.g., starches and cellulose) and a polyhydric alcohol (e.g., glycerin and glycols). Optionally, the adhesive can include a glucose (e.g. dextrin and corn syrup). A method of using the polyhydric alcohol in a wallpaper adhesive includes a step of mixing the polycarbohydrate and alcohol together. The wallpaper adhesive provides good flow and spreadability while providing the necessary tack. The open time permits the wallpaper to be applied and the drying characteristics of the adhesive inhibit the ink from being from the paper into the adhesive and curling of edges of the wallpaper.
