POLYTEK Polymer Gel: Competition White, 60g

POLYTEK Polymer Gel: The next generation

• 3D Matrix Linking Technology
• Stronger than gels even for hard customers!
• More flexible than acrylics
• Easy to file
• HEMA-free
• No odour
• Flexible working time – cure POLYTEK in the UV/LED lamp
• Reduced refill working time between 15 to 20 minutes
• Idea for sculpting extensions and use with dual-forms

POLYTEK is especially effective for customers who work hard with their hands or have “problem” nails and need a stronger product with excellent adhesion to the natural nail. POLYTEK's higher viscosity makes it a pleasure to sculpt extensions and advanced nail shapes. POLYTEK is compatible with dual-forms. 

HEMA-free

Although POLYTEK is not hypoallergenic, it is HEMA-free. This makes POLYTEK especially useful as an alternative to HEMA-based acrylic monomer systems.
