In order to block strong sunlight, people wear a top.

To use all kinds of sunscreen cosmetics, and then to the Internet this summer quietly rising and selling lightweight sunscreen clothing.

But how to distinguish?

Is it true that if a businessman claims to have a strong sunscreen function, most ordinary consumers may be asked to be judged in time by color.

As a random street survey conducted by a television station, some people believe that the lighter the sunscreen is, the better the others are, and others think the deeper the sunscreen, the better the sunscreen effect.

In terms of products, what factors will affect the sun protection effect? How can consumers make explicit purchases when buying sunscreen clothes? This requires understanding the knowledge of textile sunscreen.

The sunscreen effect is mainly determined by the sunscreen effect of the fabric used.

The color, thickness and density of fabrics are 3 basic factors that affect sunscreen.

The darker and thicker the fabric, the better the sunscreen effect.

Through other processes and finishing methods, you can also improve the sun protection effect, for example, in the spinning process of chemical fibers used in fabrics, add special nano particles (increase ultraviolet reflection and scattering), or use ultraviolet finishing agent to process fabrics, or pairs.

Coating finish.

Regular clothing with special sunscreen function is usually available.

The sign is marked with a clear UPF value.

The SPF (UPF) of the fabric shows the intensity of the sunscreen. The UPF value on the textile indicates that the textile can prolong the time when the skin is in natural condition (without any protection) against UV radiation.

The greater the UPF value, the better the UV radiation resistance to the skin.

Some countries and regions have launched anti ultraviolet testing standards or certification for textiles, such as Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS 4399: 1996), the United States (AATCC183: 1998), the UK (BS7914: 1998), China (GB/T 18830) and Europe (EN 13758-1), all of which are tested on non stretched and dry new textiles.

The International Testing Association for Applied UV Protection, as a non-governmental organization, has also introduced UV Standard 801 standards and certification.

The test is carried out under the tensile and wetting conditions of textiles, and is based on the most intense ultraviolet and the most sensitive skin types. Compared with the above-mentioned national standards, the test is applicable to a wide range of products, and the evaluation results can better reflect the actual state of textiles.

After obtaining the UV Standard 801 certification, the fabric and clothing can be authorized to use the special tag.

Consumers can easily identify the real UV protection capabilities of the products purchased with this logo.

As one of the founders of the International Association for the application of ultraviolet protection testing, TESTEX Swiss textile Certification Co., Ltd. has been committed to the research of textiles and its testing field, and is being accepted globally.

Testing and certification in the field.

In July this year, Jin BA (China) Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. successfully obtained the UV Standard 801 certificate of fabric in TESTEX.
