How to Use Modelones Acrylic Liquid Monomer

Why EMA is Way Better than MMA

• When used during a nail service, it can turn your natural nails yellow and also result in air blockage, irritation, and numbness around the nail and the surrounding skin. EMA acrylic does not induce such reactions in any way, which is why it is considered the safer option.
• MMA acrylic induces different responses in different individuals. For instance, one individual whose nails have been enhanced using MMA acrylic may experience nail tightness and mild swelling. For some, it could be irritation, dizziness or light-headedness. Whichever is the case, no nail enhancement procedure should hurt before, during, and after the service. Users of EMA acrylic have had no reason to give such complaints because the monomer doesn’t stimulate such reactions.
• MMA acrylic is a powerful monomer that can cause natural nails to break off unceremoniously, resulting in rapid infections. The molecules of MMA monomers are much smaller than EMA monomers and can even penetrate unbroken skin without any hindrance whatsoever. The particles then transform themselves and are stored in the human body ? precisely in the urine and blood ? as methanol. This brings about the permanent destruction of the nail matrix. EMA acrylic can be used safely without any health hazard which is why most reputable salons today prefer it instead of its dangerous counterpart.
• According to the FDA, MMA acrylic is so hazardous that it can initiate miscarriages. The dust from the MMA acrylic powder is a huge problem that is yet to be surmounted in the medical world. The hardness of MMA acrylic makes it difficult to file and mold as this produces lots of dust, especially when the nail technician attacks it with a drill. It doesn’t adhere perfectly well to the nail plate, and this could cause thinning and dents or lead to the total loss of natural nails.
• When soaking MMA off natural nails, it looks like sticky, melted glue, and the stench is terrible. This disgusting odor lingers even after exposure and is the reason why most salons give off unpleasant smells when you walk past them.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Review approved in ’99 the use of Ethyl methacrylate (EMA) in the nail industry and marked it as the best alternative to MMA products.
