Roman Ultra Clear PRO-880 Strippable Wallpaper Adhesive – 5 Gallons, 1,650 sq ft

Overview

ROMAN PRO-880 Ultra Clear Adhesive is North America’s best-selling wallpaper adhesive. This premium, clear, non-staining formula delivers strong wet-tack, a forgiving open-time, and easy cleanup, making it a reliable choice for both professional installations and DIY projects. The product is designed to work with a wide range of wallcoverings and conditions, helping you achieve clean seams and consistent results from start to finish.

When used undiluted, PRO-880 can hang most wall coverings on bare drywall; it can also be diluted for delicate or pre-pasted varieties. The adhesive promotes strippability in full sheets with many fabric-backed wallcovers, simplifying refresh projects while preserving wall integrity. It can be applied with a paste brush or paint roller and flows smoothly through a pasting machine for larger jobs.

Why installers choose PRO-880

• Versatile — suitable for most wallpaper types and weights, including non-woven and paste-the-wall systems.
• Strippable — designed to remove more easily with less wall damage during redecorating.
• Excellent coverage — about 330 sq ft per gallon (roughly 1,650 sq ft per 5-gallon unit).
• Zero VOC — EPA Method 24 compliant for cleaner indoor air.
• Made in USA — proudly produced in Calumet City, Illinois.
• USDA BioBased — 99% renewable resources, aligning with sustainable choices.

Why this matters in practice: the clear formula lets you see seams and alignment as you work, helping you achieve neat edges and minimal show-through. The combination of strong initial grab and extended working time can support precise pattern matching, especially on larger installations or complex walls.

Practical notes: PRO-880 is not recommended for English pulp papers; ROMAN GH-34 is suggested for those substrates. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and avoided from freezing. Each 5-gallon order covers about 1,650 square feet and includes a 1-year limited warranty, reflecting ROMAN’s long-standing performance track record in the industry.

Usage tips and sustainability

Apply with a paste brush or roller, and, if needed, run the mix through a pasting machine to streamline larger jobs. For delicate or pre-pasted wallcoverings, dilution can optimize handling time and reduce stretch during hanging.

• Storage and safety — keep away from freezing; store in a cool, dry place.
• Environmental notes — a high-renewable resource formulation supports sustainable material choices.

With more than 75 years in the wallcovering industry, ROMAN continues to offer dependable solutions that installers rely on for consistent results, from prep to finish.
