NAIL LACQUER TECHNOLOGY
Nail lacquers and relate products represent a significant dollar value to the cosmetics industry. In spite of the relative ubiquity of nail products, the formulation of nail lacquers traditionally has been a highly specialized discipline within cosmetic science. Lacquer technology has its roots in the paint and ink industries, and this relationship remains strong today. Many nail lacquer formulators have had training in industrial coatings development. The raw materials utilized in the formulation of nail lacquers generally are classified as hazardous, mainly due to their flammability. Because of these hazards, the manufacture of nail lacquer historically has been out sourced to specialty subcontractors. Given these considerations, it should not seem surprising that few cosmetic chemists have familiarity with the chemistry and manufacture of nail lacquers. It is the purpose of this monograph to present he reader with a thorough discussion of the formulation, testing, and manufacture of nail lacquers.
