The wind comes from Keqiao｜Is your sun protection clothing really protective?

In April, the sun is shining brightly and the flowers are in full bloom. As the temperature rises, ultraviolet rays become more and more aggressive. Ultraviolet rays can be said to be the culprit of all skin problems. In order to resist ultraviolet rays, sun protection and weight loss have become a woman’s lifelong career.

When it comes to the most effective sun protection, it must be to stay out of the sun. No application product is as effective as directly avoiding ultraviolet radiation. The main function of sun protection clothing, like a sun umbrella, is to block direct exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. It is very practical when riding a bicycle, driving a car or going shopping. There are many types of sun protection clothing on the market, making it an essential tool for summer travel. The reporter searched for sun protection clothing on a shopping website and found that there are not only women’s clothing, men’s clothing, but also children’s clothing, parent-child clothing, couple clothing, etc., with prices ranging from tens to hundreds, which is dazzling. The monthly sales volume of a certain sun protection clothing priced at 209 yuan It actually reached 100,000 pieces. Does it really block 99% of UV rays as advertised? How can you choose sun protection clothing that can truly protect you from the sun? The reporter went to the Textile City Market with questions to find answers.

“The principle of sun protection clothing is to post-process the fabric to reduce the light transmittance of the fabric, and add sun protection additives to the surface coating of the fabric to achieve sun protection. Our Zhanhuang sun protection fabrics have After testing, it reaches the national standard level, and the sun protection effect will not be reduced after 10 washings.” Ye Youyi, the person in charge of Shaoxing Zhanhuang Textile, said that now is the peak season for selling sun protection clothing fabrics, but sun protection without SPF is just an air-conditioning shirt. It is reported that light-sensitive technology and temperature-sensitive technology are the special products of Zhanhuang Textile’s sun protection clothing fabrics, and the price with sun protection factor is about 12 yuan. Ye Youyi showed reporters the patterns that appear after the fabric is heated and exposed to ultraviolet rays. The “warm camouflage” is eye-catching.

Sun protection clothing is gradually becoming popular, but not all clothing can be called sun protection clothing or claim to have sun protection function , in my country’s latest GB/T 18830 “Evaluation of UV Protection Performance of Textiles”, it is stipulated that only when the UPF value of the sample is greater than 40 and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, it can be called “UV protection product”. Anti-UV textiles belong to the category of functional textiles. Through anti-UV functional finishing, ultraviolet rays are reflected or absorbed to reduce the transmission of ultraviolet rays. In addition to adding anti-UV finishing agents in the post-finishing stage, UV-absorbing finishing agents can also be incorporated into the fibers. .

Qiu Linju of Jiecheng Textile told reporters that the fabrics of sun protection clothing are mainly polyester fiber and nylon fiber, which have the advantages of durability, good elasticity, good breathability, easy washing and quick drying. The plaid pattern is the characteristic of Jiecheng Textile’s sun protection clothing fabrics. For example, the silver plaid pattern has good sales, and the price is around 13 yuan, and the one without sun protection effect is about 8 yuan. When purchasing, consumers should pay attention to whether there are sun protection labels on the clothes and whether the store can provide test reports. “Nowadays, brands are more inclined to choose fabrics with sun protection factor when purchasing. To make truly functional clothing, it is no longer just a look.” Qiu Linjue said.

The market consumption structure is constantly changing, and the concept of healthy and ecological life is gradually gaining popularity. This also increases the added value of fabric products. The development of functional fabrics will follow this trend.
