The following are the tests which were performed to show the effectiveness of our sun-protective fabric in blocking the sun's harmful UV ray's. All tests were performed by independent laboratories.
Sunlight is made up in part of ultraviolet radiation, visible light and infrared radiation.
UV rays penetrate the skin causing a variety of both short term and long term reactions. Too much sun over a day or two can cause sunburn. Over many years , the suns rays can permanently damage the skin, as seen in the red, weather beaten faces of people who have been over exposed to the sun over a long period. UV radiation can also stimulate the skin's pigment system, producing a suntan and freckles. As well, UV radiation encourages the appearance of moles.
