What labels do you see on the containers? It will be a good idea to look at the containers that nail techs use to store the acrylic liquid and powders used during your service.So what can you do to protect yourself from MMA? Laws provide a certain level of protection to the public but do not prevent it from being shipped in and used in a nail salon environment. Some states like Texas declared MMA illegal in nail salons. Although it is dangerous, nail salons still use MMA to save money, and it is not illegal in all 50 states in the USA. Unfortunately, the FDA left it up to the states to regulate its use. By the end of the 1970s, numerous complaints had been filed with the FDA concerning the horrible effects that this compound caused when exposed to people’s skin, something that began to happen more often in nail salons. In 1974 the FDA took action against nail product manufacturers using MMA in their nail products because of the significant health risk that MMA poses but did not outlaw the product. In the late ’60 and early ’70, nail technicians began using MMA on their clients because it is way cheaper than Ethyl methacrylate (EMA) – a type of acrylic monomer (liquid) used to form acrylic nails. The monomer MMA is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid mixed with pre-polymerized MMA powder (PMMA) to make dental products.
Dentists use acrylic powder to form dentures and crowns because of the strength that the compound exhibits. Acrylic-based polymers have been used in restorative dentistry since the early fifties. It’s a compound originally used in the dental industry as a fast-acting compound to fix dental work. Methyl Methacrylate MMA, was introduced to the nail industry in the 1970s.
