Cellulose

For producing this adhesive, cellulose is first extracted from wood or cotton. It is then treated with alkali.
Besides being used as an adhesive, it is also used as a thickening agent. It is not suitable for wall coverings requiring great holding power.

Wheat paste

Wheat flour is used for making wheat paste. Wheat flour is first cooked in a manufacturing unit, dried and mixed with a few ingredients. This powder is then mixed with lukewarm water, stirring while mixing, to form wheat paste. This paste is not much in use now.

Vinyl over vinyl

It is meant for commercial use. It's a trademark of Roman Decorating Products. It is used mainly where already existing vinyl covering is to be redecorated with a new one.
