Materials for building nails. Acrylic and gel nails. Advantages and disadvantages of gel and acrylic
All the materials used to make artificial nails belong to one large chemical family, the family of acrylics. All these materials are polymers. The way they work involves the reaction called polymerisation. Their use allows everyone to have lovely strong nails.
There is a large variety of materials and preparations on the market for the creation of artificial surfaces (nails). This includes the acrylic liquid and powder system,gels, and the system of adhesive powder together with fabric coating.What distinguishes them apart lies in their structural organization.
The first
acrylic nails used methyl methacrylate as the compound for manufacture. However this material sometimes caused an allergic reaction in some users. Modern
acrylic is more safeter because it uses ethyl in its composition.
Acrylics of this new generation have become more transparent, easier to repair and easier to attach to the natural
nail. They quickly solidify and have a sun filter built into their material structure.
For the purpose of artificial nail production, acrylic has been used for a long time. The first artificial nails were exactly acrylic. The technology of acrylic polymerisation can be different, as well as the time it takes to achieve hardness. This can vary from several seconds to several minutes. After the acrylic material is solidified, the nail has been processed with adjustments to suit the user and smoothed shaped and polished it will give you a splendid effect.
