Composition and varieties of Quelyd wallpaper paste, instructions for use
The French company Quelyd supplies the market with the highest quality wallpaper glue, which has long gained popularity and popularity in the CIS market. The company's assortment is huge - in hardware stores you can buy not only glue for all types of wallpaper (fiberglass, non-woven, paper) and additional accessories (edging and others), but also preparation means, such as, for example , a composition for removing old wallpaper.
Description and purpose
Kelid brand products are designed not only for a professional builder, but also for an ordinary person who carries out home repairs on his own, since the company primarily thinks about the quality and ease of use of the compositions.
The assortment includes wallpaper paste for all types of fabrics. Of course, other companies often offer universal formulations, but such a compromise can not only reduce the quality of the repair, but even lead to re-gluing the wallpaper.The universal composition is an average variant between all types of glue, which does not guarantee the durability of gluing all types of wallpaper.
That's why Quelyd offers a highly targeted composition for all wallpaper options - vinyl, non-woven, paper wallpaper, glass wallpaper and even indicator tape. Let's talk about the features and methods of using each of them separately.
Composition and properties
The structure of the adhesive mixture is a loose substance in the form of chips, has a creamy-white color. Due to its balanced composition, the prepared adhesive can live longer than usual if stored in an airtight container.
Thus, the finished substance can be used for its intended purpose within a week of its preparation.
The composition itself is a mixture of environmentally friendly and harmless components.
A more detailed composition includes:
- Antiseptic for wallpaper and wall - insecticides, fungicides and bactericides that protect against the appearance of fungus or mold in the space between the wallpaper and the wall. Thanks to the environmental friendliness of the ingredients used, the safety of not only humans, but also pets is guaranteed, which makes the composition not only high-quality, but also safe.
- For heavy types of wallpaper, for example, vinyl, chalk or modified starch are added, which allows the composition to contain heavier canvases.
- The main ingredient is cellulosic additives that regulate the consistency of the prepared glue, which allows you not to make the composition too liquid and inconvenient to use. In addition, thanks to the cellulose, the stickiness of the mixture is obtained, which makes it possible to stick the canvases to the wall.
Main advantages
Quelyd does not act on the principle of "quantity over quality". The company demonstrates true French quality throughout its range, because it is not for nothing that Kelid brand adhesives are the most popular on the market.
The products have a whole list of advantages for which the company is so appreciated not only by ordinary amateurs, but also by professional workers.
Excellent adhesion
Due to its high-quality composition, the adhesive base of the mixture guarantees strong adhesion of any wallpaper to the wall surface. The presence of cellulosic additives guarantees long-lasting adhesion, even in hard-to-reach places, without much effort.
An important fact is that if the canvas is not properly attached to the wall (the drawing does not match, the corner has shifted and other problems), you can move the pasted material to the desired place within 20 -25 minutes.
Profitability
An important advantage is the availability of the mixture. If the quality of the goods is excellent, the Kelid brand keeps the price at an average level, which makes it possible to glue wallpaper even with a small repair budget. But the low price of the product is not everything, because the material itself is consumed economically, which saves on the number of packages.
The consumption of one package weighing 250 grams will be 30-35 square meters, which is equivalent to 7 rolls.
Security
Environmentally friendly ingredients and ongoing product quality checks ensure that Quelyd products are completely safe. The use of the entire range is safe for humans and animals.
Varieties
For each type of wallpaper there is a mixture with a special composition. So it makes sense to look at each individually to understand exactly which product to use in a particular situation.
Express
This type of glue is suitable for all types of paper wallpaper. One pack of this glue is enough to glue a total area of 35-40 square meters, that is, 8 rolls.
Among other manufacturers, paper options are considered rare, which is why universal glue is often offered. However, the universal glue does not take into account the specifics of the material of such wallpapers, and the Express from "Kelid" was invented to fill this niche.
super express
Unlike regular express mix, super express glue specially designed for lightweight paper wallpapersand also for lightweight vinyl fabrics. The specificity of the composition makes it possible to apply a thin layer of glue for good adhesion to the surface, which ensures the absence of streaks on the wallpaper, and also reduces the consumption of the mixture.
Glass fibers
High tack adhesive. Ideal for fiberglass wallpapers and textile wallpapers.
Also, the mixture is suitable for additional coloring of the surface, since the substances in the composition have no effect on the paint. Wallpaper pasted with such a mixture will stick to the wall for a long time.
Special fleece
Another highly targeted type of glue that is only suitable for non-woven wallpaper. Heavy vinyl types, and even more so fiberglass, will not be able to hold such a composition, only paper-based options are also suitable for such a composition. However, Fleseline wallpaper will adhere perfectly to the wall, after all, the glue is specially designed for them.
Special vinyl
Suitable for thick vinyl-backed wallpapers.It contains PVA glue, which guarantees resistance after the mixture has set. Among all the adhesives, it is the most expensive, so it is recommended to use it only for vinyl wallpaper.
Indicator
In order to improve the quality of the wallpaper, professionals can use the indicator composition, which has a pinkish color. After drying, no streaks remain on the surface of the wallpaper, but in this way a person can control the layer of the applied composition.
How to use correctly
When using, you must strictly follow the instructions.
Surface preparation
Only a prepared wall that does not cause any problems should be used for gluing. For this you need:
- clean the surface from dust and grease;
- remove old canvases, glue and bad plaster;
- apply a new plaster over the holes and irregularities;
- sandpaper, then moisten with water;
- after drying, the wall is ready for the application of glue.

- pour the required amount of water into the container;
- pour dry glue into the container, continuously mix the composition with a drill;
- leave the mixture for 5-7 minutes;

Additional tips and tricks
A few tips to help beginners are helpful:
- For stronger adhesion, you can also apply glue to the wall.
- If there is no special drill, you can use a conventional mixer.
- The glue can be stored for up to 7 days in an airtight bag, but it is best to use it immediately after mixing.
