Ultraviolet Protection Properties of Single Jersey Knit Outerwear: Part I - Effect of Stretch

Abstract:

In this study, 6 commercially available single jersey knit outerwears were collected from the market which claimed to have ultraviolet protection factor of 25. In vitro method with the use of spectrophotometer was used for evaluating their ultraviolet protection properties under different stretch conditions. Experimental results revealed that the stretch would greatly reduce the UV protection properties of knit outwears.
