Abstract
Abstract A readily strippable wall covering which comprises a wall covering sheet including a fibrous backing surface. A material comprising a wax-aluminum-protein-rosin complex in water is disposed on the fibrous backing surface in the form of a plurality of discontinuous portions incompletely covering the fibrous backing surface for reducing the susceptibility of the wall covering to adhere to a wall upon the subsequent application of a water-based adhesive to the material prior to positioning the wall covering on a wall such that the subsequently applied adhesive can be directly applied against the fibrous backing surface between the discontinuous portions, and the amount of the material applied to the fibrous backing surface is within the range of 2 gm/sq. meter to 12 gm/sq. meter to partially reduce a direct bonding between the adhesive and the fibrous backing surface.
