BR-742MS

BR-742MS: Difunctional Aliphatic Polyester Urethane Acrylate Oligomer

BR-742MS is a variant of BR-742M with non-detectable (<10 ppm) MeHQ content to comply with regulatory requirements for both salon and retail nail coating applications in Europe.
This oligomer has an excellent balance of gloss, low color, removability, durability, and low heat generation during the cure process.
