Common problems and answers to nail polish

Nail polish is an upgraded product of nail polish, also known as UV nail polish. Its main ingredients include base resin, photoinitiator, and various additives, such as pigments and dyes, rheology modifiers, adhesion promoters, toughening agents, monomer diluents, crosslinking agents, solvents, etc. It consists of three layers: primer adhesive, color-bearing middle layer adhesive, and surface coating sealant. It has good gloss, transparency, toughness, no irritating taste, outstanding resistance, and is not easy to change color. The working principle of nail polish is to use the 200nm to 450nm photon source in ultraviolet light for irradiation. Under the action of the photoinitiator, the free radical polymerization of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the UV ink binder or the cationic polymerization of epoxy and olefin ether is caused to dry the film.
