Have Your Sun-Protective Clothing Been Applied with "Sunscreen"?

PHOTO ID:72370283

This summer, many regions have successively broken local records, experiencing the hottest summer in history. Under the scorching sun, sun-protective clothing has become the top choice for many women seeking sun protection. So, what kind of sun-protective clothing is considered qualified?

Core Performance Indicators

Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF): The UPF value must be labeled and meet the GB/T 18830-2009 standard (a UPF > 40 is qualified), with the highest grade being UPF 50+.

Material and Craftsmanship

Fabric Selection: Common materials include polyester fiber, nylon, and their composite fabrics, some of which contain spandex to enhance elasticity.

Fabric Density: Tight weaving (warp density ≥ 18 threads/cm) with less light transmission offers stronger protection.

Special Techniques: The use of titanium dioxide coatings, original yarn sun-protection technology, etc., to enhance protective effects.

Additionally, there are requirements regarding color, style, practicality, and the number of washes.

Regardless of the standards, people are more focused on the protective effect of sun-protective clothing on the human body. So, has your sun-protective clothing been applied with "sunscreen"? Some might ask, "Sun-protective clothing itself must provide sun protection, so why does it need 'sunscreen'?"

Actually, this is not the case. From the materials used in sun-protective clothing, we can see that commonly used polyester fiber, nylon, or their composite fabrics are not inherently highly sun-resistant. When directly exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet rays can cause photo-aging, leading to discoloration and performance degradation of the fibers themselves, thereby reducing their service life.

OMNISTAB LS5519 is an ideal "sunscreen" for sun-protective clothing. When mixed with a nylon base material before spinning, it significantly enhances the fiber's anti-UV capability, improving the color stability and service life of the sun-protective clothing.

Moreover, OMNISTAB LS5519 can also improve the melt processing performance of nylon, stabilize melt pressure, ensure a smooth processing process, and reduce thread breakage during fiber spinning. LS5519 has high compatibility and long-lasting effectiveness with nylon, providing exceptional stability that other traditional light stabilization systems cannot offer. The alkaline groups in the structure of OMNISTAB LS5519 interact with each other, enhancing dye affinity during the dyeing process, thereby making the fabric color more stable.
