The current wallpaper materials on the market can be roughly divided into two types: pure paper and non-woven fabric. What is the difference between the two?
The difference between the non-woven wallpaper and pure paper wallpaper
Pure paper wallpaper is an environmentally friendly wallpaper among various materials, with outstanding printing effects, matte finish, environmental friendliness, naturalness, comfort, and warmth; Belonging to high-end wallpaper materials, paper wallpaper has a large market share in provincial capitals and economically developed cities, with a usage rate of around 17% worldwide; However, due to the tendency of pure paper pasting to shrink and produce fine seams, many consumers cannot accept it, resulting in a market share of around 17%.
Non woven fabric is currently a globally popular green and environmentally friendly wallpaper that does not contain glass fibers. Its characteristics are mainly composed of plant fibers, which are harmless to the human body and the environment, easy to recycle and decompose, meet strict standards for global safety performance requirements, have a soft surface, and display silk texture; Strong breathability, no mold, anti mite, anti-static; Good stability, impact resistance, no shrinkage, no stretching, no deformation, and no seams; Good coverage, can cover small cracks on the wall. However, due to the uneven surface, the environmental friendliness and printing effect are relatively poor compared to pure paper.
Distinguishing poor quality non-woven wallpaper?
Non woven wallpaper is an essential decoration in decoration. Various non-woven fabrics and PVC wallpapers are deeply loved by consumers and widely used. When the cake is big, there are naturally unscrupulous practitioners who want to get a piece of the pie. The market is also filled with various low-quality PVC wallpapers, which are full of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene to the human body. Over time, they can affect people’s health and even increase the risk of cancer! So how to distinguish between non-woven fabric and inferior PVC wallpaper? Let’s take a look at how to distinguish between non-woven fabric and inferior PVC wallpaper.
1. Odor identification method
When you open the wallpaper sample, approach it with your nose and carefully smell the odor. If it is a good non-woven wallpaper, it should emit a light woody fragrance or almost no odor. If there is an odor, it must be a poor quality and problematic PVC wallpaper.
2. Fire identification method
Light a small piece of wallpaper with a lighter and observe the smoke it emits. If it is high-quality non-woven fabric, it will not emit black smoke during the combustion process. You can smell a faint woody aroma, and there will be white dust after burning. If you smell a plastic like odor accompanied by thick smoke and black ash after burning, it is likely to be PVC wallpaper.
3. Drip identification method
Place water droplets on the surface of the wallpaper and observe if the water can penetrate through the surface. If it cannot be seen, it indicates that the wallpaper has poor breathability and is not a natural non-woven wallpaper.
4. Bubble detection method
Tear off a small piece of wallpaper and throw it into water. Then use your fingers to scratch both sides of the wallpaper and observe if there is any soaking or fading. In fact, high-quality wallpaper that is truly natural is very sturdy, and the colors on it are all natural components extracted from natural flowers and flax, which are not prone to fading or other phenomena.
