“We have seen significant increase in interest from our clients in recent years for the Anti-UV fabrics,” said Mr Jason Chan, Director and General Manager of Fountain Set Limited (a wholly owned sales subsidiary of the Group). “With increased concern regarding health from the retail consumer market, we believe there will be more demand for this functional fabric.”

UV radiation (UVR)
Of the many types of radiation emitted by the sun, mainly visible light and UVR reach the earth's surface. UVR is also present but we cannot directly see or feel it. Ozone layer absorbs much of the dangerous UVR before it reaches the ground but we can still receive enough to cause sunburn and cause serious health problems.

What affects the UPF of a fabric?
• Different fabrics have different UVR-absorbing properties
• Less UVR passes through tightly woven or knitted fabrics
• Darker colours usually block more UVR
• Heavier weight fabrics usually block more UVR than light fabrics of the same type
• Garments that are overstretched, wet or worn out may have reduced UVR protection
