Ch 17 monomer liquid & polymer powder nail enhancements Flashcards
All nail enhancement products are based most entirely on ingredients that come from the_family
Synthetic, fibers/synthetic textile/acrylic/plastic
Acrylic
The poly in polymer means
1/many/units/few
Many
Which of the following is not one of the three versions of monomer liquid used in the nail industry
Ethyl methacrylates
Methyl methacrylates
Odorless monomer
__________
Odorless monomer liquid
/Ethyl methacrylate/
Ethyl acrylic/methyl methacrylate
Ethyl acrylic
Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called
Plasticization/excoriation
Crystallization/polymerization
 Polymerization
Ethel methacrylate monomer liquid is commonly referred to as
EMA/EML/EMM/eMML
EMA
Methylmethacrylate is not recommended for use on nails & is_in some states (mma)
Not sold/not available/not legal/extremely expensive
Not legal
MMA nail products do not adhere well to the nail plate requiring the nail tech to_the surface of the nail
Shred or etch/smooth or shine/file or buff/polish or shine
Shred or etch
MMA creates the hardest and_nail enhancement
Most flexible/most rigid/smoothest/most desirable
Most rigid
MMA_in products removers
Softens easily/dissolves quickly/does not dissolve well/requires additional chemicals
Doesn’t dissolve well
MMA is a widely used monomer with a long history of safe use in medical and_products
Dental/implant/prosthesis/hearing aid
Dental
When monomer liquid is picked up by a brush and mix with polymer powder it creates
Gleam/curette/mound/bead
A bead
A catalyst is an additive designed to_chemical reactions
Slow down/neutralize/speed up/stabilize
Speed up
The initiators found in polymer powder when activated by a catalyst will spring into action and Cause monomer molecules to permanently link together into
Short polymer chains/Long polymer chains/a single monomer/polymerized molecules
Long polymer chains
Compared to acne treatments nail powders contain How much Benzoyl peroxide
The same percentage of benzoyl peroxide/more benzoyl peroxide/less benzoyl peroxide/no benzoyl peroxide
Less benzoyl peroxide
It is recommended that you mix one and a half parts monomer liquid with one part polymer powder to create a_bed
Medium/dry/wet/damp
Medium
The amount of monomer liquid And polymer powder used to create a bead is called
Mid ratio/bead equation/mixed speed/mixed ratio
Mix ratio
In general_beads are the ideal mix ratio for working with monomer liquid and polymer powder’s
Wet/dry/medium/heavy
Medium
Nail_remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate
Moisturizers/dehydrators/creams/dryers
Dehydrators
Nail dehydrator should be applied liberally to the_only
Nail plate/nail bed/Eponychium /free edge
Nail plate
The nail_is used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion
Dehydrator/polish/ base/primer
Primer
