4-in-2 Glue + Desiccant

This refers to a combination product commonly used in the context of nail enhancements, specifically acrylic nail applications. It consists of two components: a monomer liquid (the “4-in-2 glue”) and a polymer powder, alongside a desiccant.

Components & Materials:

• 4-in-2 Monomer Liquid: This is typically an ethyl methacrylate (EMA) based liquid. The “4-in-2” designation implies the liquid serves multiple purposes within the acrylic system. It acts as the liquid component for mixing with the polymer powder to form the acrylic bead, as a primer to prepare the natural nail surface for adhesion, a cleanser to remove the tacky inhibition layer after curing, and as a dappen dish liquid.
• Polymer Powder: Usually composed of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It comes in various colors (clear, natural, pink, white, glitter, etc.) and particle sizes, influencing the final nail appearance and strength.
• Desiccant: Typically silica gel. It is included to absorb moisture from the monomer liquid, as moisture contamination can cause issues with the acrylic application, such as bubbling, lifting, or poor adhesion.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of this combination is to create durable and aesthetically pleasing acrylic nail enhancements. Acrylic nails are artificial nail extensions or overlays applied to the natural nail to provide length, strength, and a desired shape.

Function:

• Adhesion: The monomer liquid, when applied to the nail surface, prepares it for bonding with the acrylic mixture.
• Polymerization: When the monomer liquid is mixed with the polymer powder, a chemical reaction (polymerization) occurs, transforming the liquid mixture into a hard, sculptable acrylic mass.
• Sculpting & Shaping: The acrylic mixture can be molded and shaped to create various nail designs, extensions, or overlays.
• Durability: Acrylic nails are known for their strength and resistance to breakage.
• Moisture Control: The desiccant maintains the quality of the monomer liquid by preventing water absorption.

Usage Scenarios:

• Nail Salons: Professional nail technicians use this combination for acrylic nail applications.
• Home Manicures: Individuals with experience in acrylic nail application may use this combination for DIY manicures.
• Nail Art: Acrylic nails provide a base for elaborate nail art designs.
• Nail Repairs: Acrylic can be used to repair broken or damaged nails.

Common Types (Variations based on monomer liquid composition):

• EMA Monomer: The most common type, known for its strength and durability.
• HEMA Monomer: Offers greater flexibility but may be more prone to allergies.
• UV/LED Acrylic: Some acrylic systems require curing under UV or LED light.
• Odorless Monomer: Formulations with reduced odor for increased comfort.
• Brush-on Acrylic: Acrylic liquid is applied directly to the nail using a brush.

The declared goods consist of a 4-in-2 glue product combined with a desiccant. This suggests a combination adhesive and moisture-absorbing agent, likely packaged for retail or specific application.
