Nail Product Chemistry Flashcards
What is formed when liquids evaporate into the air
Vapor
Substances that speed up chemical reactions
Catalyst
Excessively roughing up the nail plate
Overfiling
Agent that causes two surfaces to stick together
Adhesive
Long chain of monomers attached head to tail
Simple polymer chains
Change from liquid to vapor form
Evaporate
Type of acrylic monomer (cross linking) that has very good adhesion to the natural nail plate and polymerizes in minutes. Used to make all liquid/powder systems and atleast one type of uv gel
Methacrylates
Prolonged repeated or long term exposure that can cause sensitivity
Over exposure
State of matter different from liquid or solid not formed by evaporation of liquids like vapors.
Gas
Substance that improves adhesion
Primer
Substance capable of seriously damaging skin eyes or other soft tissues on contact
Corrosive
Monomer that joins together different polymer chains
Cross linker
Ingredients which control color stability and prevent sunlight from causing fading or discoloration
UV stabilizers
Ingredient used to keep nail enhancement products flexible
Plasticizers
Short chain of monomers that is not long enough to be considered a polymer
Oligomer
