Are chemicals safe most chemicals are completely safe Fumes mixture of soot like particles and capors Vapors formed when liquids evaporate into the air (monomers,gels,wrap-resin addhesives all for vapors) Adhesion force of nature that makes 2 surfaces stick together, this happens when molecules on one surface are atracted to another surface Adhesives chemical that causes 2 incompatable surfaces to be joined together Primer substance that improves adhesion-(nail polish base coats) Different types of Primers acid,non acid,acid free Corosive substance that can cause visible and possiblepermanent damage(acid based primers are corrosive) How do you get good adhesion of an artificial nail clean ,dry surface (he nail) wash hands and scrub nail plate to remove oils and contaminations,this also gets rid of baceria that cause most fingermail infections Cause of product lifting improper nail preporation is the leading cause How long after using a nail dehydrator will oil return on the nail plate 30 min What creates a weak foundation for nail enhancements a thin nail plate Coatings products that cover the nail plate with a hardend film(top coats A coating that cures or polymerizes is what a chemical reaction (creating a nail enhancement) A coating that hardens by evaporation is what physical reaction Polymers molecules joined together in extremly long chains, they contain millions of molecules Polymerization chemical reaction that makes polymers,also known as curing,cure,hardenig Monomers individual molecules that join to make the polymer(monomers are the molecules that make up the polymers) Initiator molecule that energizes When an initiator touches a monomer it gives it what a boost of energy What happens when this continues the chain of monomers gets longer and longer What happens when the product gets knotted it starts to harden Oligomers short chains of monomers that had the growth of their chain halted before they became polymers Where are oiligomers important in gels,they give them their sticky consistancy Simple polymer chain long chain of monomers attached head to tail, products with simple polymer chains are easily damged Cross linker special monomers in gels and liquid and acrylic systems, they are like rungs of a ladder Evaporation coatings top coats, polish, base coats,all evaporate, no chemical reaction occures Is one product better for the nail that another NO. This is false When removing artificial nail products how do you do it clients finger soak in acetone, place a towel over the container they are soaking in to minmize the vapors Nails/CHEMISTRY SIMPLIFIED
