Bomar®BR-551ME is an oligomer that provides excellent acetone removability when used in gel polish applications. Low heat generation occurs duringcure with UV/LED lamps that are typically used in nailgel polish applications. The resultant coating also has high gloss, and has low APHA color impact. Furthermore, this oligomer was designed to meet regulatory expectations for salon applications in Europe.
