Sun Protection Terms
UVA
UVA is a long wavelength ultraviolet ray
from the sun. UVA rays are the "aging" rays in the UV spectrum.
UVA radiation ranges from 320 to 400 nm in wavelength. Some
wavelengths in that range have greater potential to cause damage
than other wavelengths. UVA radiation is stronger in the early
morning and late afternoon when the sun's rays reach the Earth at
an angle.
UVB
UVB is a medium wavelength ultraviolet ray
from the sun. UVB rays are the "burning" rays in the UV spectrum.
UVB radiation ranges from 280 to 320 nm in wavelength. Some
wavelengths in that range have greater potential to cause damage
than other wavelengths. UVB radiation is stronger between late
morning and early afternoon when the sun's rays are directed
straight down at the Earth.
SPF
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is
the ratio of UV radiation dose required to produce recognizable
redness on skin that has been protected with a sunscreen from the
UV radiation dose required to produce the same redness on
unprotected skin (using a clinical test procedure on human skin).
SPF tells you how much longer it will take for your skin to begin
to redden with the product on than if your skin was unprotected.
The percentage of burning UV rays that a product blocks does not
increase proportionally with the SPF value. So SPF values
indicate a function of skin reddening.
UPF
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection
Factor. It is the ratio of the average effective ultraviolet
radiation (UVR) irradiance transmitted and calculated through air
to the average effective UVR irradiance transmitted and
calculated through fabric. In other words, it is the amount of
ultraviolet radiation that a fabric blocks. Hence UPF values are
used in the Fabric's UV transmittance test by spectrophotometer
equipment.
