All of the following are characteristics of odorless monomer products EXCEPT?

  1. Low odor

  2. Hardens slowly

  3. High viscosity

  4. Hardens quickly

The correct answer is: Hardens quickly

Odorless monomer products are specifically designed to minimize the strong chemical smells typically associated with nail products, which is why a primary characteristic is low odor. As for the time it takes to harden, odorless monomers tend to harden slowly compared to their traditional counterparts. This slow curing process can be beneficial, as it allows for better workability and manipulation during application. Additionally, these products usually have a high viscosity, which contributes to their application characteristics, making them thicker and allowing for more control while working. In contrast, hardening quickly is not a trait of odorless monomers; they are specifically formulated to cure at a slower rate. This characteristic, therefore, stands out as the exception among the listed traits.
