1. Ingredients of clear lash extension glue
Ethyl cyanoacrylate
Ethyl cyanoacrylate is a type of cyanoacrylate that is commonly used in eyelash extension glue. Cyanoacrylate is what causes the extensions to adhere and stay bonded with the natural lashes. It appears as a liquid from start, but when exposed to the humidity in the air, it hardens into a solid form.The higher the amount of Cyanoacrylate content in the lash glue ingredient, the quicker the glue will dry. Ethyl cyanoacrylate is known for its excellent adhesion properties and ability to create a secure hold, which is important in eyelash extension application to ensure the longevity of the extensions.
PMMA
PMMA stands for Poly(methyl methacrylate), which is an acrylic polymer that is often added to eyelash extension glue to increase the viscosity of the glue. This results in a thicker consistency that is easier to work with, and it also helps to improve the durability of the glue. The addition of PMMA makes the glue less likely to break down over time, which means that the eyelash extensions will last longer.
