Monomers

A monomer is one of the key elements in acrylic technology, and the success of your work directly depends on choosing the right one. The popular international brand Kodi professional offers a wide collection of monomers of various types and volumes, designed to interact with our acrylic powders.

What is a monomer? What is it used for?

Kodi professional monomer is a special liquid based on ethyl methacrylate, used in acrylic nail modeling. Acrylic powder polymers do not require curing under a lamp; to “set” them, a monomer (liquid) is needed. It reacts chemically with the powder, triggering its hardening within the timeframe indicated on the product packaging.

Kodi professional monomers contain a large number of plasticizers, which guarantee flexibility, strength, and elasticity of the modeled nails, making them thin and neat. Kodi professional monomers offer several undeniable advantages:

• Do not contain methyl methacrylate, and therefore are absolutely safe for the nail plate.
• Make the acrylic powder highly pliable and flexible, ensuring even and thin application.
• After hardening, create a sticky layer, minimizing dust when filing the nail shape.
• Available in various packaging formats, allowing you to choose the type and volume best suited for your work.

Acrylic is used to shape the nail plate as desired, including its color and design, and the monomer fixes the result.

Assortment of Kodi professional Monomers

The main advantage of using the monomer and acrylic powder duo is that the technician does not need a special curing lamp for the material. The monomer handles this task perfectly. All monomers presented on the Kodi professional website can be conditionally divided into several types:

1. Monomer Clear. A transparent monomer containing UV inhibitors, which preserve the original color of the acrylic powder and prevent yellowing. It gives the powder special plasticity and elasticity, making it ideal for voluminous design elements. It works particularly well with colored acrylic materials.
2. Monomer Purple. A violet monomer generally used for French modeling. It contains special color particles that create a unique ultra-white color that does not yellow over time.

To achieve a more expressive and refined stained-glass effect, our experts recommend using high-quality concentrates by Kodi professional in various shades.
