UV PROTECT
UV protective clothing with integrated sun protection
The largest organ of the human body is the skin, and it is exposed to great danger in summer. UV rays from the sun can increase the risk of skin cancer. Standard textiles are radiolucent, providing insufficient protection.
PLANAM’s UV-protective clothing gives guaranteed certified safety. Awarded UV protection certificates “PROTECT 80” and “PROTECT 40”, this range guarantees maximum prevention. Just like for sunscreens, the figure indicates the protection factor for safely spending longer in the sun. Our PLANAM models allow the wearer to remain in the sun 80 and 40 times longer than those without protection. With their integrated sun protection factor, the finished garments provide the skin with optimum protection. Those with sensitive skin can stay in the sun longer without having to cover themselves in sunscreen. It is important to know the individual skin type in order to determine the individual’s protection time (length of possible exposure to the sun without risk of skin damage). The stated UV protection factor (e.g. Protect 80) gives the factor by which the individual’s protection time can be extended just by wearing these textiles.
