Can this be used on clothing to help protect the wearer from harmful UV rays?

We now have a product called "Ray Bloc for Clothing". It is intended to protect the SKIN by blocking UV penetration through treated clothing and outside lab testing has shown it added up to 30+ UPF to treated fabrics. Our existing Ray Bloc is intended to prevent fabric from fading and is used on indoor furniture and outdoor fabrics

I don't think it would be appropriate, since it is a spray containing chemicals. There is a product I have not tried yet, http://www.drbaileyskincare.com/sun-guard-laundry-treatment.shtml

My husband is the one who has worn it and he doesn't see why not. But I would be safe and ask the manufacturer.

I have never tried it on clothing... i use it mostly for rugs and pillows... but i don't see why that wouldnt work.

I believe the answer is "yes" due the wavelength of the UV light (it doesn't matter what you're looking at - it's the light that's harmful). The glasses are cheap protection for your eyes.

I have not used this product for such purpose, but I feel it would be effective.Soaking the clothes in a low solution for perhaps an hour before adding to thewash. Rinsing first is not necessary.

You would have to ask the manufacturer. They claim to block the UV rays but I am no expert and certainly not the right person to answer this for you. I would hope that they were not falsely advertising that feature, but I am going to assume at the very least that they help regardless.

I don't see that these are specially treated to increase UPF (sun protection factor), but any fabric will offer more protection than NO fabric, and silk naturally blocks more UV than cotton. Darker colors block more UV than lighter colors which may impact your choice if higher UPF is your goal.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.

I did not use it for that, and I suspect it depends how much you want to use. I think the instructions do not advise using it for this. Would suggest you try some on a small piece of cloth.

don't know about that! I wear mine for covering my ears, using it as a headband and as extra warmth around my neck so I'm not using it for sun protection

No, it doesn't protect your skin from any of the bad Rays but it is great for after tanning to moisturize your skin

It is supposed to provide UV protection. My experience to date is so limited that I cannot confirm this. I used this product to actually stiffen a fabric that I used for kites that was more porous than I wanted. I would check any fabric with this product in an inconspicuous place before using just to be sure I was satisfied.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

I would not use it on leather. It is designed for use on vinyl and fabrics. I am using it as UV protection on car dashboards and kites. Leather is such a different substance; in my opinion it is better treated with products designed for leather.

I don't see why not. I used it on a nylon roof cargo bag for my car. It was heavy duty and already water "resistant", but I think it really helped driving through the snow and rain in the mid/north west USA. I have only need to use my cargo bag a few times since I bought it so the color hasn't started to fade. But the product does block UV which is the main reason of fading fabrics/plastics.

I used it on some silk shirts with no trouble, so I would think you'd be okay to use it. You might want to do a test patch by applying it lightly in a small area and give it a day to see if anything happens. I really think it will work great though.

Yes,they offer UV protection,but I am not sure of the protection level. Hope that helps
