SAFE USE OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT Page 1 of 1 Safety Folder\Doc3-20\October05 Introduction Trans-illuminescence and epi-illuminescence by UV light are used extensively in microscopy & molecular biology. UV light is a type of non-ionising radiation and can be categorised into three regions (UVA 400-315nm, UVB 315-280nm and UVC 280-100nm).
Perspex® VE Grade sheet blocks 99.99% of UV light with wavelengths of 250–400nm. You can normally buy Perspex® VE Grade in full sheets in 3mm thick. Product Availability: subject to availability and possible minimum order quantities depending on stock status; please contact us to discuss your requirements for this product; Additional notes: According to a U.S. study published in JAMA Dermatology, any fully-functioning handheld umbrella can block more than three-quarters of ultraviolet (UV) light on a sunny day. Black ones do even better, blocking at least 90 percent of rays. …. All but one of the umbrellas was a standard, handheld rain umbrella. If you have previously bought perspex, you will notice very little difference if you opt for Acrylic sheets from Sheet Plastics in the future. Our range of Acrylic Sheets can also be processed in the same ways as perspex. These methods include laser cutting, CNC Cutting, Bending, Polishing, Forming, Cutting and Moulding.In fact, the prevailing studies show that people who use sunscreen daily can maintain their vitamin D levels. One of the explanations for this may be that no matter how much sunscreen you use or how high the SPF, some of the sun’s UV rays reach your skin. An SPF 15 sunscreen filters out 93 percent of UVB rays, SPF 30 keeps out 97 percent, andA good choice for the material would be PMMA — Poly (methyl methacrylate) (plexiglass), it is used for sensor covers in TV remotes for example. Here is an example IR transmission spectrum taken from here: But you should check the plastic that you actually choose as it can contain additives. Share. Cite.
