This study aimed to test the effectiveness of a ZnO solution mixed with an Anionic Polymer in reducing the amount of UV-C radiation that can penetrate fabric.
The solution was coated onto three types of fabric: silk, cotton, and linen, in both white and black colors. The experiment was conducted in three locations in Nan province: Phaya Phanong Stadium, the Thawangpha Meteorological Department, and the area of Somdet Phra Yupparat Pua Hospital, as well as in the hospital’s laboratory.
Using a UV-C radiation meter, the radiation levels under the fabric were measured and compared to the levels measured on the fabric’s surface. The results showed that the coating could reduce the amount of UV-C radiation that passed through the fabric, demonstrating the effectiveness of the ZnO and Anionic Polymer solution for UV protection in fabrics.
