Things to note when choosing a parasol

A look at the product logo

Clearly mark the UPF value (i.e. Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and UVA (i.e. AV, long-wave ultraviolet transmittance), such as UPF40+ or ​​UPF50+. If the UPF value is not marked, at least "UV protection/UV protection" should be marked.

Second, look at the coating

Opaque black and colored plastic coatings are preferred. The UPF value of these two coatings basically reaches 2000+ (international requirements are 40+).

3. Look at the umbrella material

Polyester fiber is preferred because polyester fiber has strong absorption of ultraviolet light less than 300nm.

Four, look at the color

Umbrellas with darker colors are preferred. The darker the color of the umbrella, the lower the UV transmittance.

The more black glue on the inner layer of the parasol, the better the sun protection index

Black glue on the inner layer will have a better sun protection effect. Because if the outer layer is light-colored, it can reflect sunlight, and the black inner layer will absorb sunlight. If black glue is on the outer layer, the whole umbrella will be very hot, and on the contrary, if black glue is on the inner layer, the whole person will be very cool because most of the light has been absorbed. Black glue umbrella is a recently launched anti-ultraviolet fabric model, a sun umbrella, which can mainly enhance the fireproof of ultraviolet rays, and has no odor and is not easy to age. Silver glue umbrellas mainly rely on coatings to prevent ultraviolet rays from penetrating, so the quality of the coating determines the degree of ultraviolet protection, and has nothing to do with the umbrella itself.
