The primary types of acrylic powders include clear acrylic powder, colored acrylic powder, glitter acrylic powder, and other specialty powders. Clear acrylic powder is a transparent polymer commonly used in nail enhancements, offering a durable finish while allowing the natural nail to show through. Its applications extend to fingernails, plaster production, textile printing inks, specialty coatings, dry film photography, and more, catering to end users such as beauty salons, households, and other commercial establishments.
