Strippable glass fiber wall covering

A strippable glass fiber wall covering comprising a glass fiber fabric impregnated and coated on both sides with a first dried coating comprising a starch and a polymeric latex binder and having applied thereon a second dried coating to only one of the coated sides, whereby the second dried coating consists essentially of a paraffin wax and a rheology modifier and serves as a separation layer that facilitates the removal of said wall covering from a substrate wherein the starch is present in an amount ranging from about 10 to 70% by wt. and the polymeric latex binder is present in an amount ranging from about 20 to 80% by wt., based on the dried weight of the first coating, and wherein the paraffin wax is present in an amount ranging from about 80 to 99% by wt. and the rheology modifier is present in an amount ranging from about 1 to 2-0% by wt., based on the dried weight of the second coating.
