nail product chemistry Flashcards
vapors are forme when liquids - into the air
evaporate
- is a force of nature that makes two surfaces stick together
adhesion
an - is a chemical that causes two surfaces to stick together
adhesive
a - is a substance that improves adhesion
primer
a substance that can cause visible and painful burns and scars to soft tissue
corrosive
heavy abrasives and - excessively roughing up the nail plate, may cause the nail plate to lift and separate from the nail bed
overfiling
a - is a substance that speeds up chemical reaction
catalyst
an - is short chain of monomers that has had the growth of its chain halted before it became a polymer
oligomer
the individual molecule that join to make the polymer are called -
monomers
the molecules in the product join together in extremely long chains, each chain containing millions of molecules. these gigantic chains of molecules are called -.- can be liquids, but they are usually solid. p
polymers
the chemical reaction that makes polymers is called
polymerization
the head of one monomer reacts with the tail of another, and so on. the result is along chain of monomers attached head to tail
simple polymer chains
a – is a monomer liquid and polymer chains together
cross linker
- are used to make all monomer liquids and polymer powder system and at least one type UV gel
methacrylates
all other UV gels are based on another type of acrylic called
acrylates
