UV Absorbers

Ciba^® TINOSORB^®, comprehensive UV absorbers suitable to be applied via the laundry washing process to clothing. By their use, they help convert cotton fabrics into effective UV shields. Dermatologists warn that ultraviolet (UV) radiation is harmful to the skin. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause sunburn, premature skin aging or even skin cancer. Most lightweight or light colored clothes fail to provide sufficient protection against the harmful rays of the sun. Now consumers can protect themselves and their families from the damaging UV rays by turning their lightweight summer clothing into high- performance sun protective fabrics.
