    Hello!
    İ’d like ask a question about artificial nail monomers.
    İ want to sell a product that involves only HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) for this application.İ have found a supplier in my country for this material and i want to bottle it but i dont know how it works by only itself?
    Does it works only HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate as a liquid acrylic monomer with other acrylic powders to make a artificial nail ?

    thanks for ur feedbacks.

    @lovermanco I doubt HEMA would be sufficient as one and only component in your system. Regularly the products like this should contain a blend of components. I am pretty sure you will find answers if you go here: 
    Schoon Scientific and Regulatory Consulting Services
    And if you ask Doug Schoon in person. He is one of the best in the nail industry/ formulations for artificial nails.

    @Perry Yes, he is probably the best in the area of  polymer chemistry and coatings for cosmetic applications. I was happy to work with him for one of his books and articles.
