Ch 17 Monomer Liq uid And Polymer powder Nail Enhancements

Question 1

The term acrylic refers to an entire family of thousands of substances that are closely related to make a wide range of things like contact lenses cements for bones plexiglass for windows and even cosmetics. Surprisingly all nail enhancement products are based almost entirely on ingredients to come from the acrylic family.For example ingredients in the Monomer and Polymer and Enhancements systems belong to______.

Answer 1

Methacrylates.

Question 2

Today’s monomer liquid and polymer powder is come in many colors they can be blended to a wider range of colors designs and patterns.

Answer 2

Ok

Question 3

Mono means one and mer stands for units so A monomer is one unit or one molecule. Poly means many so polymer means many units or many molecules linked together in a chain.

Answer 16

Coo

Question 17

The monomer liquid and polymer powder are each poured into a special container called___. They must have narrow openings to minimize evaporation and minimize contamination of dust and debris. It must be covered with a tightly fitting lid when not in use. Each time brushes dipped into the dish it contaminates the monomer. Never pour the unused portion back into the monomer liquid.

Answer 17

Dappen dish

Question 18

The most commonly used brush for monomer liquid and polymer powder is the #____brush. Having too much Monomer on a brush increases risk of irritation or sensitivity. Odorless Monomer liquids require ____ so using a flat brush the holes less liquid is recommended.

Answer 18

8 oval. Less liquid.

Question 19
