Adding anything to thin out UV gels can disrupt their chemistry, potentially leading to serious issues, including adverse skin reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los riesgos de diluir los geles UV<strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nunca debe a\u00f1adirse nada a los geles UV para hacerlos m\u00e1s finos, porque esto puede alterar la qu\u00edmica y afectar negativamente a la curaci\u00f3n. El resultado podr\u00eda ser un mayor riesgo de desarrollar una reacci\u00f3n cut\u00e1nea adversa, incluido el potencial de reacciones al\u00e9rgicas permanentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La importancia de no a\u00f1adir disolventes a los geles UV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Never add solvents or any type of thinner to a UV gel&nbsp;unless instructed to do so by the manufacturer\u2019s directions or improper cure becomes a greater possibility. If instructed by the manufacturer to do so, precisely follow those directions or problems can occur. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Por qu\u00e9 los geles UV son espesos: el papel de los olig\u00f3meros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The base ingredients are called \u201coligomers&#8221; which are molecules that have been partially pre-polymerized into short chains.&nbsp; These short chains are more prone to be tangled, than small molecules, which makes the product feel thicker or more \u201cviscous\u201d. Then when UV gels are exposed to UV energy, these short chains join to create the very long chains that solidify to create the final polymer&nbsp;coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esto se hace para que el gel UV pueda curarse m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidamente de lo que lo har\u00eda normalmente.  Es muy parecido a precocinar la comida para poder terminarla m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidamente en el microondas.  Los olig\u00f3meros son la raz\u00f3n por la que estos productos son m\u00e1s gruesos que otros tipos de esmaltes de u\u00f1as y la adici\u00f3n de disolventes para diluirlos dar\u00e1 lugar a la creaci\u00f3n de un esmalte de u\u00f1as significativamente m\u00e1s d\u00e9bil.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are asked this question all the time: &#8220;Why are UV gels so thick, and can anything be added to thin them out?&#8221; While it might be tempting to modify the consistency of your UV gels, it&#8217;s important to understand the science behind their formulation.
