EMA Liquid Monomer · LAVIS Purple UV Liquid E.M.A 1 Gallon — The 1-gallon (128 oz) bulk size for high-volume salons that go through monomer fast — best per-ounce cost in the LAVIS EMA line.
What It Does
LAVIS Purple UV Liquid E.M.A 1 Gallon is a professional Ethyl Methacrylate acrylic monomer with a UV inhibitor that resists yellowing under salon lighting and sunlight. Mixed with acrylic powder, it creates a strong, smooth, self-leveling acrylic bead with predictable set time. EMA is the salon-safe industry standard — MMA is banned for salon use because it bonds too aggressively to the natural nail.
Why Pros Choose This
- Best per-ounce cost: Gallon size for serious acrylic operations
- Pure EMA chemistry: MMA-free and salon-compliant
- UV inhibitor prevents yellowing over time
- Same self-leveling formula as the 8 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz sizes — just more of it
How to Use
- Decant from Gallon into a smaller working bottle to keep the main jug sealed
- Pour from working bottle into dappen dish for each service
- Dip acrylic brush into monomer, then into powder to form a bead (~1.5:1 liquid to powder)
- Place bead on prepped nail and shape within 30–60 seconds, then air-cure
Best For
High-volume acrylic salons, multi-tech operations, salon chains — anyone going through 32 oz in under a month.
