Adhesive properties and composition
The adhesive dry mix is a loose white shavings. "Kelid" consists of:
- Cellulose additives that provide excellent adhesive properties and the desired consistency to the finished composition.
- Environmentally friendly insecticides for humans and pets, bactericidal components and fungicides that prevent mold and fungi from developing in the space between the wallpaper and the wall. Antiseptic properties of "Kelid" are especially important if the walls are pasted over with non-woven canvases or vinyl canvases, which do not allow air to pass through well.
- The main component is modified starch or chalk. Chalk mixes are designed for vinyl wallpapers because they are heavier than paper wallpapers.
On a note! Quelyd is recommended for use at temperatures from +5 to +25 degrees. If the room is too hot, the application time of the ready-mixed mixture is reduced, and problems may arise when gluing the canvases.
Closed bags with dry glue are stored for the period indicated on the package, and the finished composition retains its properties for more than 7 days. Store the liquid substance in an airtight container.
The price of the Kelid adhesive composition depends on what kind of canvases it is intended for gluing. The heavier the roll, the more expensive the product. But even the Quelyd mix for paper wallpaper occupies the middle price segment in the domestic building materials market.
Advice
All materials that need to be glued must be subjected to special preliminary processing. All foreign substances should be removed: old paint, putty, rust. Sometimes different solvents are used to clean the surface more effectively.
If the composition is on your hand, it is recommended to dip it into water: in this way, polymerization will be stopped. Also, a special composition is sold in pharmacies - Dimexin, which effectively removes the remains of the substance.

Varieties and features of wallpaper glue
All products can be divided by purpose into 3 groups:
- Special purpose, for two-layer and one-layer paper products.
- Universal mixes for any kind of trellis.
- Special adhesives for certain types of wallpaper: light, medium and heavy.
To understand which wallpaper glue is suitable in individual cases, you need to consider the features of all options.
Universal PVA
This is a fairly popular option as it is simple to use, cheap and suitable for most types of wallpaper. Polymer emulsion is especially good for paper and vinyl products. Features of the glue:
- High level of adhesion.
- Protection from moisture.
- Resistant to fire.
- Protection from temperature extremes.
PVA is a universal glue for wallpaper, it is safe and environmentally friendly, since there are no toxic substances in the composition. In addition, the cost of production is minimal.
Bustilat
There is a common glue with improved properties. Often used for repairs. Main components: chalk, latex, thickener, carboxymethyl cellulose, water, special additives and preservatives. If the products are made in accordance with GOST and have a certificate of conformity, then Bustilat will not contain toxic substances, so the mixture is safe.
Features of the adhesive:
- The color is grayish or white, after drying it becomes transparent.
- After pasting the wallpaper, yellow spots will not appear.
- Protected from moisture.
- Has a low consumption, about 200 g / m2.
- Drying takes place in 1.5 days.
- Movable, you can adjust the canvas when gluing.
- Protected from fire.
Drilling glue, class CMC
A great option for working with paper wallpaper. Sold as a powder with a pink tint. The main component is carboxymethyl cellulose. Product Features:
- Ecological cleanliness.
- Odorless.
- Protects walls from mold.
- Light shades of wallpaper will not turn yellow.
- Have an affordable cost.
Vinyl glue
They are sold in two versions: expensive and cheap. The first version is made on the basis of methylcellulose, the second - using modified KMC / HPA starch. If we talk about a mixture based on methylcellulose, then it has the following features:
- Better adhesion to the surface.
- Long lasting and reliable fixation.
- High penetrating power.
- It goes well with cement and limestone surfaces.
- Has reusable coupling recoverability.
- Absolute safety, can be used in children's rooms.
- Protection from temperature extremes.
The only drawback is the high cost, however, you can pay for the quality.
Non-woven adhesive
Sold in powder form. Therefore, before work, you need to dilute the wallpaper glue. Packaged in boxes. A highly specialized composition that is only suitable for non-woven wallpaper.
For fiberglass and fabric coverings
Presented in the form of a concentrated ready-made dispersion composition. It is used when working with textile and fiberglass wallpapers, as they are heavy. Feature: increased mechanical strength of the layer, it is not afraid of moisture, and the film is formed in 24 hours.
What are used as solvents and fillers
Before using the glue, it is necessary to familiarize yourself in more detail with the components from which it is made.
Chlorine compounds
Most rubber mixtures contain chlorine-containing compounds. Manufacturers try to add a minimum amount of such components, since they are characterized by a higher level of toxicity. Therefore, when choosing an adhesive for further work, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition and make sure that it does not contain many compounds in which chlorine is present.
Eticelate with nephras
Many adhesive liquids are made with the addition of nephras and ethyl acetate. This chemical compound improves the quality of the mixture and increases its adhesion. Therefore, experts recommend using glue containing refined products mixed with acetic acid.
Latex with water content
Latex is added to almost all adhesives. However, this element is added to cheap rubber glue not in pure form, but together with water. The addition of liquid to the latex negatively affects the adhesive properties of the product and makes the connection less reliable. Because of this, such an applied rubber mixture adheres to the surface at times worse.
Resin and polystorol
In adhesives, which are characterized by increased strength, polystyrene with resin is often added. Therefore, in order to more reliably glue the surfaces, it is recommended to use just such means. However, buying glue with too much polystyrene and resin in it is not worth it. A large amount of these components negatively affects the elasticity of the joint.
Sulfur, amines and metal oxides
Adhesive mix firms often add metal oxides, amines and sulfur to them. It is thanks to these substances that the vulcanization process takes place, during which the plastic rubber turns into rubber. The amount of additives directly depends on how much rubber is contained in the glue.
Consistency stabilizers
Some inexpensive adhesives will gel over time and bond less well. Most often, this problem appears if there are no consistency stabilizers in the composition of the product. These include diethylamine or ethanol. These components maintain the liquid consistency of the glue.
Glue wallpaper with Quelyd glue
The manufacturer indicates on the packaging detailed instructions for preparing the composition. Mixing the glue is very simple. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Pour warm water into the container.
- Stir the water slowly and pour in the glue.
- Bring the mixture to a homogeneous state, without lumps. We leave for a few minutes.
- Mix again, making sure that the glue is viscous and thick.
Surface preparation
Walls to be glued must be dry and clean. If they were previously painted, sand them and rinse them with detergents and rinse them off with water.
We remove the remnants of the old coating (you can use a special tool Dissukol). Gypsum, drywall, wood and other absorbent surfaces are primed.
Glue application
We draw a vertical line with a level, stepping back from the door or window 50 cm (if the roll width is 53 cm) or 1 m (if the roll width is 1.06 m). This will help cut the wallpaper right under the window or door frame.
Spread the glue along the wall with a roller along the marked vertical line. It is necessary to go slightly beyond the outlined border. We carefully coat the places along the baseboards and corners.
Wallpaper gluing
The gluing algorithm may have its own nuances depending on the type of canvas.
Let's consider the procedure using the example of non-woven wallpaper.
- We glue the roll (do not cut it into canvases) on the wall, taking into account the vertical line.
- Smooth out the material with a brush, moving from top to bottom and smoothing out the air bubbles from the center to the edges.
- With the back of the scissors, mark the fold of the canvas along the plinth. Cut off using a ruler and a wallpaper knife.
- We glue the next canvas end-to-end to the previous one.
- You can paint the canvas no earlier than in a day.
Instructions - how to glue joints
Bonding the joints causes difficulties for many. The Quelyd glue for joints will make the task easier. It is sold ready-to-use and can be used to work with vinyl, paper and other types of wallpaper, can be used for installing borders. The packaging is very convenient for handling hard-to-reach places.
Composition advantages:
- does not require breeding,
- grabs quickly,
- does not spread
- easy to use due to the thin tip.
The algorithm for gluing joints is as follows:
- Preparing the surface - it must be dry and clean.
- Apply a thin layer of glue to the walls or the back of the canvas.
- We leave the composition for 5 minutes, then press the canvas against the wall and the seam area, hold it for several minutes.
- We remove excess composition with a damp sponge.

Alternative Axton Wallpaper Adhesive
Modern wallpapers are characterized by a huge assortment. They can be produced from various materials, each with its own technical parameters. It goes without saying that ordinary glue will not work for all types of wallpaper.
Therefore, the choice of adhesive should be given no less attention than the selection process of the decorative materials themselves.
- Axton wallpaper glue is a high-quality material of a new generation, developed by the Leroy Merlin trademark.It is used for gluing vinyl, non-woven, glass and many other types of modern wallpaper. Its characteristic features are good adhesive properties, absence of harmful compounds in the composition, practicality and economy.
- Axton glue does not enter into a chemical reaction with paints and varnishes, due to which it retains its original properties for a long time. It is very easy to use such material - it is evenly applied either on the wall or on the canvas (depending on the type of wallpaper) using a roller or brush. It dries completely within a day after the end of work.

How to choose wallpaper glue ↑
Hiring a team of professional finishers, we fully rely on their experience and knowledge, as well as on the recommendations of relatives and friends. As a result, most often we get beautiful, even walls, without flaws, bubbles and wrinkles. Doing it yourself is another matter entirely. Here you have to decide everything for yourself: from choosing rolls to buying brushes, rollers and buckets.
Beautiful wallpaper - an opportunity to emphasize the style
We are faced with the first difficulties, faced with endless shelves with various types of building materials, and many questions immediately arise: which glue is better for paper, vinyl or non-woven wallpaper, is it possible to save on its purchase, how expensive offers differ from cheap ones. We warn you right away: it is better not to experiment and focus on high-quality products from well-known manufacturers that have proven themselves exclusively from the positive side.
What threatens the use of economy class materials or the use of a handmade paste? The consequences can be unpleasant: delamination of the cladding along the joints or in whole pieces, a change in the color of the decor, the appearance of spots and streaks on the front wall. Alteration is a long and laborious occupation, so to save money in this case is to buy exactly expensive material.
High-quality glue is the key to a comfortable life without repair
Thus, if you have started a serious repair, you should only purchase high-quality products from firms that have been developing and improving them for decades. Do not forget that now special glue is produced for each category of wallpaper - more on that later.
Composition and properties of various varieties
As indicated, Methylane is based on modified starch. But due to the additives that the manufacturer includes in the glue, this product can be applied to the following types of wallpaper:
- vinyl;
- non-woven;
- glass wallpaper;
- paper;
- heavy structured.
In this regard, the manufacturer produces several types of Methylane, each of which is used for gluing specific wallpapers.
Non-woven express premium
This type of Methylane is used for gluing non-woven wallpaper. An important feature of this type of material is that the diluted powder can be applied directly to the walls.
Non-woven ultra
This wallpaper glue is used for the same purposes as the previous one. The difference between the materials is that Non-woven Ultra hardens faster.
Premium granulate
Premium granulate is available in the form of granules, which must also be diluted before application. This type of Methylane is used for gluing heavy wallpaper: coarse-fiber, metallized and others. The premium granulate, thanks to its special particle shape, is easier to dose, thereby reducing material consumption.
Station wagon premium
The universal adhesive is suitable for all types of wallpaper. This type of Methylane has a pasty consistency, which facilitates the process of applying the material to the substrate. Opened premium wagon can be stored for a long period.
Fiberglass premium
This type of Methylane is used for glass wallpaper and other types of finishing materials.The glue is also used in rooms with high humidity. After drying, the composition is able to withstand repeated surface staining. Methylane of this type adheres wallpaper, even to cement or lime.
Vinyl premium
Methylane for vinyl wallpaper comes in the form of a powder and has the same properties as other specialized types of glue.
For joints
A specialized type of Methylane, created for pasting wallpaper and fixing joints. This composition has the following features:
- suitable for gluing vinyl and plastic;
- tolerates exposure to high temperatures, due to which it is used for gluing wallpaper behind batteries;
- is available in a compact package of 60 grams.
Methylane comes with a spatula for joints, with which you can evenly apply glue even in hard-to-reach places.
What is in the glue ↑
There are a huge number of universal and special materials, the composition of which is certainly different. But almost all modern manufacturers strive to ensure that their products are not only functional, but also protect against mold and bugs, so the composition of dry powders is as follows:
- base (50-95%);
- PVA (up to 50%);
- bactericides and fungicides (up to 3% of the total mass).
Ready-made solutions differ in that they already contain water, that is, they do not require additional dilution (but they can be made less concentrated). The percentage composition of the parts varies depending on the specifics of the product. For example, a part of the PVA in a solution for glass fiber wallpaper reaches a maximum of 50%, and in special versions, the base takes up most of it - about 75%.
For heavy glass wallpaper, a special glue is required for painting.
Under the base is meant a substance that, after dilution with water, turns into a transparent gelatinous mass that has gluing properties. The mortar provides a tight adhesion to plaster, wood, concrete, brick and retains its properties for a long time.
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) improves moisture resistance and increases adhesion. As a result, heavy and textured products are held firmly, without deforming or changing their size. But not PVA is used as the main components, but modified starch and methylcellulose.
Types of wallpaper glue ↑
For the convenience of using their products, companies producing various types of adhesives named them in accordance with the names of the products for which they are intended. Reading the name "KLEO Extra Non-woven wallpaper glue", we immediately understand that it is used only for non-woven rolls. To better understand the classification of products, consider the most popular types of adhesives.
Paper products, which are classified in the economy category, are used less and less, since they are impractical in comparison with other types. One-layer simplex or more durable duplex is more often pasted over hallways, children's rooms, living rooms, and less often - kitchens, since in rooms with high humidity the paper quickly deforms or peels off.
Two types of Quelyd glue - "Super Express" and "Express"
However, due to the low price, paper lining is in demand, so a special powder is sold for it. Why is it preferable to use it? It is cheaper than non-woven, vinyl and universal counterparts, moreover, during preparation, it will saturate the paper to the extent necessary.
An example of a budget glue for paper products is the Russian-made KROST brand. The cost of a package is 200 g - 67 rubles.
Dry wallpaper glue for non-woven wallpaper is sold in small boxes. Instructions for use are printed directly on the packaging. This type of material is recommended to be used exclusively for non-woven cladding with a smooth base.The decorative surface can be different - corrugated, silk-screened, multilayer, vinyl, etc.
The main feature of solutions for non-woven finishing is the way of use. The technology of application consists in applying the finished product only to the wall. Pieces of rolls should not be covered with glue and do not need to be left for a while (as happens when pasting with a paper analog).
Flizelin quickly adheres to the solution applied to the wall
Theoretically, it is possible to glue non-woven wallpaper onto non-woven wallpaper, however, the adhesion strength will be low, as a result of which the outer layer may not last long. It is better to remove the old finish (non-woven fabric is very easy to remove), clean the walls and re-stick the cladding, but in one layer.
Dry instant mixes for vinyl wallpaper are sold in the same packaging as for non-woven wallpaper, indicating the type of finish for which they are intended. Vinyl rolls are glued according to the example of paper ones, that is, both the wall and the paper base of pre-cut pieces of cladding are treated with a ready-made solution. After applying the adhesive to the strips, a holding time is required - usually 15-20 minutes.
The peculiarity of products with a vinyl decorative layer is that they do not allow air to pass through, that is, they do not breathe. This means that the solution will take much longer to dry. In this regard, it is recommended not to use homemade pastes, but to buy special glue, the drying rate of which is much higher.
Applying vinyl glue with a wide brush
Often people are interested in whether it is possible to glue vinyl or paper wallpapers on non-woven glue. The technology does not exclude such an option, but the result will be unsatisfactory: divergence of stripes at the joints, the appearance of bubbles, deformation. For vinyl cladding, it is better to use a special solution intended for it.
It is more expedient to use a special glue, in the production of which the features of the finish are taken into account. However, there are situations when you have to use a universal analogue. In order to save money, it is purchased if different types of finishes are involved in the repair (for example, vinyl and paper). The universal option is suitable for both, the difference concerns only the process of preparing the solution. For light paper products, a liquid solution is used, for heavy ones (vinyl, fiberglass) - a thicker one.
The cost of universal glue is lower than that of special glue, and this is another reason for its popularity. However, it is better to use at least moderately universal solutions and powders, on the packaging of which there is an inscription "for all types of vinyl (non-woven, paper, etc.) wallpaper."
Sample of universal use
To shorten the repair time in the country, often the new finish is glued directly onto the old one, without thinking about what kind of glue to glue the wallpaper to the wallpaper. As a result, the solution does not withstand, and the cladding falls off. Professionals recommend not picking up the glue, but nevertheless, first remove the old finish and prepare the wall, and only then re-arrange it.
