UV Transmittance Measurements

Treatment with Puraderm Sun Protector fabric treatment by Puratech, Inc.
Tested by International UV Testing Laboratories, Auburn, AL in accordance with test method AATCC183..
Fabric supplied by Test Fabrics, Inc. all white and lightweight with low initial UPF* using Labsphere
Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer.

* UPF is nominally a measure of how much longer you could stay in the sun just like SPF. In actual use UPF of 15, SPF of 45 because most users get only about 1/3 the advertised protection. SPF is a measure of skin reddening caused by UVB measured under ideal conditions. UPF includes UVB (290-320 nm.) and also UVA (320-400 nm.), which causes damage and cancer with little or no reddening. UPF is measured by precise instruments and represents the minimum level of protection expected.
