Mad Scientist
Everything we see or touch is made of this, except light or energy.
What is Matter?
Surface oils and moisture on the nail plate will block this:
What is adhesion?
My name means one unit. When combined we form polymer chains.
What is monomer?
This product temporarily removes surface moisture and trace oils from the nail plate.
What is nail dehydrator?
What is the chemical contained in acid-based primers?
What is methacrylic acid?
Filing on the nail plate, dissolving or removing nail polish, monomer evaporating and creating vapors are all examples of this type of change.
What are examples of physical changes?
When two atoms combine, this is formed.
What is a molecule?
In acrylic systems, this ingredient starts the chemical reaction that causes monomers to harden into polymers when mixed with powder. I am found in the polymer.
What is a initiator?
When applying this chemical in its acid-based form, a professional will wear safety glasses.
What is acid based primer?
My origin was under OSHA & my 16 categories include sections on first aid, storage, handling, & use.
What are SDS - Safety Data sheets?
Polymerization & curing of powder & liquid systems, and polymerization of gel when exposed to UV/LED light are two examples of this type of change.
What are chemical changes?
A liquid in a gas like state, when monomer, acetone, alcohol, or nail polish evaporate, these are created.
What are vapors?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!
This is the chemical reaction that turns monomers into a solid structure during acrylic or gel application.
The term used for the release of heat that is occurring during the process - also an event when we cure gel under a light source.
What is polymerization?
What is an exothermic reaction?
Chemicals that cause two surfaces to stick together are forms of these.
What are adhesives?
a medium mix ration is how many parts liquid to powder?
what is 1.5 parts liquid to 1 part powder?
When two molecules combine, they form me.
What is an element?
I am found in the monomer. My job is to speed something up.
What is a catalyst?
If we are left on the nail plate, we will block or interfere with proper adhesion. Name 3
What are dirt, trace oils, waxes, moisture, contaminants, & surfactents?
Nail Enhancements, Polish, Acrylic, UV Gel, Base Coat & Topcoat are all technically known as:
What are coatings?
Resins, glues, and wraps typically belong to this acrylic family:
What is cyanoacrylate?
Acidic is on the low end, alkaline is on the high end and 7 is neutral on this:
What is the PH scale?
These are 3 common ingredients in a variety of salon care products. Name two.
What is glycerin, silicones, volatile organic compounds (VOC's)?
Used in gel products, we are short chains. Like a precooked dinner we are ready to go. Because of us, gels can cure in 2-3 minutes instead of hours.
What are oligomers?
We are used for added adhesion and some today are protein rather than acid based.
What are primers?
Prolonged and repeated contact with chemicals causes this.
What is overexposure? (Also accepted: possible contact dermatitis, or possible allergic contact dermatitis)
Solid, Liquid and Gas are.....
What are states of matter?
TRIPLE JEOPARDY!!!
____ are tiny particles are the building blocks of matter; when they bond together, they form _____, and when they’re all the same type, they make up an ______.
What are atoms, molecules, & elements?
All nail enhancements, powder and liquid, dips, UV gels, glues, & wraps are part of this chemical family.
What is the acrylic family?
Used in skin creams & polish dryers, I leave the skin silky smooth.
What is silicone?
I am a 2 foot area around the head of the professional. Keep me clear of vapors and dust by using proper ventilation.
What is the breathing zone?
Acetone and water are examples of this, and water is considered the universal example:
What is a solvent?
These are invisible fumes released by certain nail products, like monomers and polish removers, and can be harmful if inhaled in large amounts without proper ventilation.
What are vapors?
The initiators in acrylic products depend on heat from the body, the ambient lights, or the room temperature to help cure. These initiators are what kind of initiators?
What are thermal initiators?
Sodium hydroxide, I'm in callus reducer and cuticle remover. Because of my strong and aggressive nature, I am considered ____.
What is corrosive?
Doing this will weaken the nail plate and can also contribute to overexposure.
What is overfiling?
