About products and suppliers

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an artificial nail bonding agent. It’s commonly known as MMA liquid monomer and found in beauty kits used in salons. The MMA in acrylic is cheaper and stronger than other non-MMA acrylic brands. The MMA acrylic nails do not break easily. To know whether the product used in your nail is MMA acrylic, soak it off in acetone. Inspect the nail after 30 seconds. If the nail is firm, shiny, and slimy, the product is MMA acrylic.

Is MMA okay in acrylic powder?

Manufacturers, especially the MMA acrylic brands, are supposed to list ingredients used in manufacturing their beauty products. There are controversial questions s arising from people and nail technicians claiming that there are illegal MMA acrylic products in the market. A few people claim allergic reactions to the MMA products for nails. Questions arise about whether MMA products are safe.

The MMA polymer begins as a monomer, but when combusted and mixed with agents, catalysts, and initiators to form a hybrid polymer, the MMA monomer is no longer active. Additionally, the MMA acrylic nail powder is considered safe to use as a polymer powder and perfect for your nails.

What is ema acrylic, and is it safe for nails?

EMA acrylic liquid, also known as EMA liquid monomer, is the most effective monomer in the nail acrylic process. It’s also used in curing artificial nails. Most products have this EMA monomer ranging from 70%- 90%. When used with other products, the manufacturers can manage their time for curing, flexibility, colors, and odor. However, due to its strong smell, proper ventilation is required as you use the EMA monomer liquid. Once the ema acrylic monomer is applied, it does not affect the nail plate. Furthermore, no allergic reactions are associated with the ema acrylic monomer. Hence, the EMA liquid monomer is approved for usage in the nail and beauty industry.
