All of the following are characteristics of odorless acrylic products EXCEPT:

Form a tacky layer
Hardens quickly
Has little odor
Requires UV light

The correct answer is: Form a tacky layer

Odorless acrylic products are designed to have a significantly lower smell compared to traditional acrylics, making them more pleasant to use in settings where odor could be an issue. One of their defining characteristics is that they harden quickly without emitting strong odors. The characteristic that distinguishes odorless acrylics is that they typically do not form a tacky layer after curing, unlike some standard acrylics, which might require filing or additional steps to smooth out the surface. Additionally, while odorless products do harden quickly due to the chemical formulation, they do not require UV light to cure; instead, they cure through a chemical reaction. Thus, noting that they require UV light would not align with the traits of these specific products. Overall, the focus on minimal odor makes them advantageous in many salon environments, while the lack of necessity for a tacky finish emphasizes their efficiency and user-friendliness.
