Predict which one of the following substance is used as film forming agent in nail polish?
Correct answer: B. Ethyl acetate
- A. Nitrocellulose
- B. Ethyl acetate
- C. Butyl stearate
- D. Glycerol
Explanation
Among the substances commonly used in nail polish, one stands out as the primary film-forming agent: Ethyl acetate: Ethyl acetate is another solvent commonly used in nail polish formulations. It helps dissolve other ingredients and aids in achieving the desired consistency of the nail polish. However, like acetone and toluene, it is not primarily used as a film-forming agent.

About Polymers
Polymers are large molecules made from repeating monomer units joined by covalent bonds. The topic distinguishes addition polymers such as polyethylene, PVC and polystyrene from condensation polymers such as nylon and polyester, and relates chain structure to thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, properties, uses and environmental concerns.
