UV Protection Fabrics<br />

• What is UV Protection Factor?<br />

• The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (or UPF) rating system measures<br />

the UV protection provided by fabric<br />

• It is very similar to the SPF rating system used for sunscreens<br />

• For example: A garment with a UPF of 50 only allows 1/50th of the UV radiation falling<br />

on the surface of the garment to pass through it.<br />

In other words, it blocks 49/50ths or 98% of the UV radiation<br />

• Who makes UPF measurements?<br />

• Manufacturers of Sun Protection Fabric<br />

• Manufacturers of Sun Protection Garments<br />

• Independent testing facilities<br />

• Government Regulatory Agencies (ASTM, ARPANSA, etc.)<br />

• Target ALL fabric and clothing manufacturers<br />
