Polymer Another term for an acrylic powder is polymer. Polymer means that the powder consists of more than one type of molecule (poly = more than one). Polymer powders start out as monomers. Monomer is placed in a large mixer. Solvent (water and suspending agents) is added to dilute the monomer. The initiator and catalyst are added and mixed rapidly. After several hours, the monomer polymerizes into tiny beads. The solvent (water) is drained away and the beads are then dried and packaged. This is the core reason why we recommend that nail technicians work within one brand as the monomer and the powder are chemically matched for an optimal result. NailPerfect Powders or polymers are homopolymers, made from only Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA). A polymer made from two or more monomers is called a copolymer. Homopolymers made from ethyl monomer are more flexible.

Polymer Et andet udtryk for et akrylpulver er polymer. Polymer betyder, at pulveret består af mere end en type molekyle (poly = mere end en). Polymerpulvere starter som monomerer. Monomer placeres i en stor mixer. Opløsningsmiddel (vand og suspensionsmidler) tilsættes for at fortynde monomeren. Initiatoren og katalysatoren tilsættes og blandes hurtigt. Efter flere timer polymeriserer monomeren til små perler. Opløsningsmidlet (vand) drænes væk, og perlerne tørres derefter og pakkes. Dette er hovedårsagen til, at vi anbefaler, at negleteknikere arbejder inden for et mærke, da monomeren og pulveret er kemisk matchet for et optimalt resultat. NailPerfect-pulvere eller polymerer er homopolymerer, der kun er fremstillet af ethylmethacrylat (EMA). En polymer fremstillet af to eller flere monomerer kaldes en copolymer. Homopolymerer fremstillet af ethylmonomer er mere fleksible.
