Can a sunscreen suit protect you from the sun?

There is a great controversy in the market about whether sun-protective clothing can prevent the sun, and many people can't say it at all. In fact, as long as the sun protection clothing meets certain sun protection standards, it can protect against the sun. But for those clothes on the market that are beautiful, brightly colored, without tags and manufacturers' sunscreen clothes, they can only play the role of sunscreen for ordinary long-sleeved clothes at most.

Although they are all called sun protection clothes, most brands of sun protection clothes are only said by salesmen. Only some clothes of some outdoor brands, such as Columbus and Kellogg's, are marked with the words "Sun Protection", "UPF40+" and "UPF30", with instructions that "UV shielding can effectively absorb UVA and UVB".

Different from various sunscreens sold in the market, the fabrics of outdoor brand sunscreens are almost all 100% nylon, which is transparent and soft. The price is much higher than the sunscreen clothes sold by women's brands.

Some protective clothing sold in Sun Yuan in 20' s and 30' s are actually ordinary materials with a layer of sunscreen coating missing. Although they can block light, they can't block ultraviolet rays with strong penetrating power.

2. What color of sunscreen clothing is the most sunscreen?

Many people think it will be cool to wear white and light-colored clothes in summer. In fact, white or too light-colored clothes will reflect ultraviolet rays, which is easy to hurt the skin.

Red can best absorb ultraviolet rays in the sun, so wearing red clothes outdoors in summer is the most sun-proof. And black, although it is the color that absorbs heat fastest, is also the color that dissipates heat fastest. Experts suggest that wearing black clothes indoors or on cloudy days can give full play to its rapid heat dissipation function, which can quickly discharge the heat on the skin surface and make people feel much cooler.

3. Sun protection principle of sun protection clothing

The principle of sunscreen clothing is to make the fabric thick to reduce the transparency of the fabric, and then add sunscreen additives to the coating on the surface of the fabric. Manufacturers of regular sun protection clothing need to carry out high-tech treatment on fabrics, which is very expensive. So far, this kind of clothing has not been mass-produced, and it is only used in some special industries.

The difference between skin clothing and sunscreen clothing

A fur coat is also called a fur coat. As the name implies, you should have some properties of skin, such as breathability and perspiration. The materials used in it have extremely light weight, extremely comfortable contact, good air permeability, certain wind resistance and water resistance, and are endowed with special properties such as anti-ultraviolet and anti-splash through some special processes.

Sunscreen clothing was first popular in the United States in 2007, and then entered China. At first, it was mostly used for outdoor products and rarely used for ordinary clothes. Later, it was favored by many girls. The principle of sunscreen clothing is to add sunscreen additives to fabrics to prevent ultraviolet rays. Some sunscreen fabrics combine ceramic micropowder with fibers to increase the reflection and scattering of ultraviolet rays on the surface of clothing and prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging human skin through fabrics.

The main function of sunscreen clothing is to prevent the direct exposure of ultraviolet rays from the sun, which is the same as that of parasols.

In fact, leather clothing and sunscreen clothing are the same. From the physical point of view, sun protection clothes are generally covered with a layer of shielding, and most skin windbreakers are treated with special anti-ultraviolet coating technology. Leather clothing is comfortable and soft to wear, which also ensures the windproof, breathable, waterproof and ultraviolet-proof functions of windbreaker.

What material is good for sunscreen clothing?

1, sunscreen clothing made of polyester fiber

The sunscreen clothing made of polyester fiber is better. In particular, the anti-ultraviolet fabric added with sunscreen additives in polyester fiber fabric can increase the scattering and direct effect of sunscreen clothing on ultraviolet rays and sunlight, and prevent ultraviolet rays from hurting human skin through sunscreen clothing.

2. Sunscreen clothing with sunscreen coating

Some sun protection clothes will be coated with a layer of sun protection coating on the inside of the clothes, generally with silver reflective coating and black reflective coating. This kind of sunscreen clothing can help isolate 95% ultraviolet rays. However, after soaking in water or washing for many times, the sunscreen effect will weaken until it disappears.

3. Sun protection clothing made of chemical fiber materials

We often see light and translucent sun protection clothes, which are mostly made of micro-porous fibers that have been treated with ultraviolet protection. Not only can they play a role in sun protection, but the micro-porous structure increases the moisture absorption and perspiration of fabrics, making them more suitable for wearing in hot environments. This kind of sunscreen clothing is mostly chemical fiber products, such as polyester, acrylic, nylon and so on.
