The Sustainable Choice: Roman III Non-Strippable Heavy Duty Clay for Wood Veneer Wallcoverings

Jacaranda’s wood veneer wallcoverings are made using wafer-thin slices of real wood bonded to a secure substrate. The result is a flexible, versatile wallcovering that can be applied similarly to vinyl wallpaper on flat or curved surfaces. Our eco-friendly, sustainable wallcoverings are easy to install and use, too. For the best results, we recommend properly preparing the installation surface, including using products such as Roman III Non-Strippable Heavy Duty Clay. 

Roman III Heavy Duty Clay Non-Strippable Heavy Duty Clay Adhesive

Roman III Heavy Duty Clay is a wallpaper adhesive designed especially for commercial-grade vinyl wallcoverings and wood veneer. This special clay product minimizes seam curling and spreading, and cleanup is a breeze, requiring only water to remove any smudges or mishaps. You can use it in either dry or humid environments, and just one gallon will cover nearly 300 square feet. There’s no need to thin it: You can use it at its full strength and stir or whip it until it reaches your desired consistency before applying it using a standard paint roller. Apply it directly to the veneer, application surface, or both, depending on your preferences and desired results.

The right adhesive can make a big difference when it comes to the finished product. Choosing Roman III Heavy Duty Clay ensures your Jacaranda real wood veneer looks fantastic and functions beautifully for many years. It also contributes to your project’s sustainability goals. It’s a USDA Certified BioBased Product, which means that it’s been verified by a third party to ensure it comprises significant biological products, including renewable domestic materials like wheat or corn, rather than petroleum-based products.

Understanding the BioPreferred Program

The USDA BioPreferred Program was created by the 2002 Farm Bill and expanded in 2018 by the Agricultural Improvement Act. Its goal is to increase and promote the use of biobased products to boost jobs, create new farm commodities markets, and stimulate economic development while reducing dependence on petroleum and its byproducts and accompanying environmental issues. The primary program includes mandatory purchase requirements for the government and associated contractors and voluntary labeling for biobased products.
