UV-absorbing fabrics

UV-absorbing fabrics are textiles designed to block or absorb ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping to protect the skin from harmful effects like sunburn and skin cancer. These fabrics contain special chemicals or are woven in a way that increases their ability to filter out UV radiation. The effectiveness of a UV-absorbing fabric is often measured by its Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating, which indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the material. Wearing clothes made from these fabrics is a proactive step in sun safety, especially during outdoor activities.
