UV-protective measurements of textiles from the literature [66] *.
| Textile Fabrics | UPF | Critical Wavelength (nm) | UVA Blocking | UVB Blocking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White Cotton | 9 | 389 | 91.7% | 89.9% |
| Dark Grey Cotton | 98 | 389 | 98.8% | 99.1% |
| Denim | 2000 | 389 | 100% | 100% |
| Polyester | 721 | 387 | 99.0% | 100% |
* UPF and critical wavelength shown are the values reported in Coyne et al., the UVA and UVB blocking is calculated from the digitized average of the measurements.
