As a leading new materials chemical company specializing in UV nail gel, we often encounter questions about the use and properties of UV gels in the nail industry. This article addresses eight common questions to provide clarity for our international clients.
1. Is UV Gel the Same as Nail Gel?
UV gel used in nail art is a type of UV gel, but it requires lower curing temperatures and higher standards compared to regular UV gels.
2. Are UV Curing Lamps the Same as Nail Curing Lamps?
Both are UVA lamps, but UV curing lamps are high-pressure and high-power, while nail curing lamps use low-pressure fluorescent lights. The former requires higher heat, whereas the latter typically uses a single 9-watt UVA lamp. Additionally, UV lights can cause polymers to degrade and yellow over time, rendering adhesives ineffective.
3. What is the Purpose of UV Gel in Nail Art?
Originally, nail art did not use UV gel. UV nail gel is applied first to make it easier to remove UV nail polish, which is difficult to clean. Once the UV gel is cured, a layer of nail polish is applied on top. When it’s time for a change, the UV gel can be peeled off easily.
4. Uses of UV Gel in Nail Art
The primary use of UV nail gel is in nail art. Various types of UV coatings have different applications: regular UV gels can bond materials, UV inks are used for printing, and UV varnishes are used as coatings. All these are cured using UV light, but each serves different purposes.
5. What is the Role of UV Gel in Nail Extensions?
UV gel is used as a phototherapy gel for nail extensions. Clear UV gel is used to create extensions.
6. Can UV Gel be Cured with a Nail Curing LED Lamp?
Yes, if the nail curing lamp emits UVA light. UV gels are generally cured using UVA light at 365nm and 395nm wavelengths. While UV nail gels can be cured with lower power and longer curing times, industrial UV gels require high-power UVLED lights for faster curing and lower labor costs.
7. Can a UV Flashlight be Used if There is No Nail Curing Lamp?
Yes, a UV flashlight can be used as long as it emits UVA light. The main ingredient of nail phototherapy gel is the same as the UV adhesive used for glass bonding, both curing under 365-420nm UV light to form a strong acrylic plastic layer on the nails.
8. Can Regular Nail Lamps Cure UV Gel?
Yes, regular nail lamps used for curing nail polish can also cure UV gel, as nail polish gel is a type of UV gel.
