- Title

- Authors
Veatch, Kelly D.; Gatewood, Barbara M.
- Abstract
The UV protection provided by fabrics can be enhanced appreciably by use of certain dyes that absorb in the UV region. This study examined the relationship in between dye fading, UV transmission, and UPF values. The results of this study will assist in selecting dyes that have the greatest potential for increasing UV protection and least susceptible to change during light exposure.
