Ultraviolet Protection Properties of Single Jersey Knit Outerwear: Part II - The Influence of Moisture Percentage

Abstract:

We collected 6 commercially available single jersey knit outerwears from the market which claimed to have ultraviolet protection factor of 25. In vitro method with the use of spectrophotometer was used for investigating their ultraviolet protection properties under different moisture conditions. Experimental results revealed that the moisture would greatly reduce the UV protecion properties of knit outwears. The higher the moisture content, the lower will be the UV proection properties of the outwears.
