A molecule that starts the polymerization process by transferring stored energy to a monomer. The polymer carries a heat-sensitive initiator. Initiators are needed to energize monomers. BPO (Benzoyl Peroxide) is the initiator in our powders. BPO absorbs and holds exothermic heat (external heat). Free Radicals Through the addition of heat, the initiator molecule BPO breaks in half and is called a free radical. Each half is capable of exciting/energizing a monomer. Catalyst Some initiators work slowly in activating the molecules. Catalysts are often added to change the rate of a chemical reaction. In the nail industry catalysts are used to make reactions happen more quickly. DMPT is the catalyst present in our monomer. Pigment The polymers also contain pigment to attain the color required. Dyes Our monomer contains violet dye to enhance the color of the product. Whites become whiter, pinks get pinker and this also masks any yellowing that may occur. UV Absorbers UV Absorbers are present in the liquid. They are there to prevent degradation of the product and to prevent yellowing through UV light.

Et molekyle, der starter polymeriseringsprocessen ved at overføre lagret energi til en monomer. Polymeren bærer en varmefølsom initiator. Initiativtagere er nødvendige for at give monomerer energi. BPO (benzoylperoxid) er initiativtager til vores pulvere. BPO absorberer og holder eksoterm varme (ekstern varme). Frie radikaler Gennem tilsætningen af ​​varme bryder initiatormolekylet BPO halvt og kaldes en fri radikal. Hver halvdel er i stand til at spænde / aktivere en monomer. Katalysator Nogle initiativtagere arbejder langsomt med at aktivere molekylerne. Katalysatorer tilsættes ofte for at ændre hastigheden for en kemisk reaktion. I negleindustrien bruges katalysatorer til at få reaktioner hurtigere. DMPT er katalysatoren til stede i vores monomer. Pigment Polymererne indeholder også pigment for at opnå den krævede farve. Farvestoffer Vores monomer indeholder violet farvestof for at forbedre produktets farve. Hvide bliver hvidere, lyserøde bliver lysere, og dette maskerer også gulning, der måtte opstå. UV-absorbenter UV-absorbenter er til stede i væsken. De er der for at forhindre nedbrydning af produktet og for at forhindre gulfarvning gennem UV-lys.
