Patent ID: 8901199

Claim:
The removable, adhesion-promoting nail coating composition comprising a polymerizable (meth)acrylate, a urethane (meth)acrylate resin and an adhesion promoter selected from the group consisting of: hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate THFMA, pyromellitic dianhydride di(meth)acrylate, pyromellitic dianhydride glyceryl dimethacrylate (PMGDM), pyromellitic dimethacrylate, methacroyloxyethyl maleate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/succinate, 1,3-glycerol dimethacrylate/succinate adduct, phthalic acid monoethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, PEG-4 dimethacrylate, PPG monomethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, isopropylidenediphenyl bisglycidyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, urethane methacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, neopentylglycol dimethacylate, acetoacetoxy methacrylate, acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate, (AAEMA) polyetheramine, glycidyl methacrylates, maleic anhydride, terpolymers containing vinyl acetate, organosilanes, organotitanates, chlorinated polyolefins, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glyceryl hydrogenated rosinate, pentaerythryl hydrogenated rosinate, styrene/methyl styrene/indene copolymer, blocked isocyanate PVC, polyamidoamine PVC, and mixtures thereof; wherein the polymerizable (meth)acrylate is different from the adhesion promoter, and the urethane (meth)acrylate resin is different from the adhesion promoter, wherein said composition cures to a thermoset, and removal of the cured coating from a nail surface upon exposure to an organic solvent is achieved in less than 20 minutes without abrading the coating or nail surface.
