CH. 28

Monomer Liquid & Polymer Powder Nail Enhancements CH.28 flashcards

Term
Sculptured nails are created by combining a chemical known as monomer liquid mixed with polymer powder to form a nail enhancement.
As monomer liquid absorbs a polymer powder, the product formed at the tip of the brush is referred to as a bead.
The initiator that is added to polymer powder is called benzoyl peroxide.
To prevent product contamination, a dappen dish should have a tightly fitting lid.
For many salon-related applications, gloves made of nitrile polymer powder work best.
The bead of product for shaping the free edge should have a medium-to-wet consistency.
Acid-free and nonacid primers are most often used today.
When applying nonacid and acid-free nail primer, the brush should hold enough product to treat two or three nails.
After a service, if you have a tiny amount of used monomer liquid left in the dappen dish, you should wipe the dappen dish with a paper towel and place the monomer liquid directly in a plastic bag.
The apex is the area of the nail with the most strength.
A properly-worn dust mask will protect you from dust only.
In the maintenance service, the apex of the nail is filed away.
Catalysts are added to monomer liquid to control the set or curing time.
Polymer powder is available in many colors.
Monomer refers to one unit called a molecule.
Polymer is formed by combing many small molecules into very long, chain-like structures.
A substance that will spring into action and cause monomer molecules to permanently link together into long polymer chains is an initiator.
A dry bead is a bead created using equal amounts of liquid and powder.
A wet bead is created using twice as much liquid as powder.
A medium bead is a bead created using one-and-a-half times more liquid than powder.
The nail form is placed under the free edge of the natural nail and is used as a guide to extend the nail enhancement beyond the fingertip for additional length.
The area where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge is called the stress area.
The area that runs straight from the cuticle down the side or wall of the nail to the end of the extension is called the sidewall.
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is not recommended for use on the nails because they do not adhere well to the nail plate, the rigidity of the product can lead to serious natural nail damage, it is extremely difficult to remove, and the FDA says not to use it.
A process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains is known as polymerization reaction.
A 240-grit is an appropriate abrasive for finish filing, refining, and buffing.
After a monomer liquid and polymer powder service, you should wipe the dappen dish clean with acetone before storing it in a dust-free location.
Nail extension undersides should be even, matched on each nail.
The apex is usually oval shaped and located in the center of the nail.
In general, odorless products must be used with a dry mix ratio.
The number of grains of sand on an abrasive file per square inch is known as grit.
Any nail art that protrudes from the nail is known as 3-D art.
Designs inside a nail enhancement that are created when nail art is sandwiched between two layers of product while the nail enhancement is being formed are called inlaid designs.
