2. Marine canvas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_canvas

   Marine canvas is typically used to protect materials susceptible to UV damage like varnished wood, non-UV resistant plastics, and outdoor stored sails. Other boat specific uses include hatch covers for interior sun protection and winch covers for protection from deterioration and fouling due to seawater, rain, and dirt exposure. [5]

3. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

   Pigments in paints and stains protect against UV damage, while UV-absorbers are added to polyurethane and other varnishes (in particular "spar" varnish) to work against UV damage. Polyurethanes are typically the most resistant to water exposure, high humidity, temperature extremes, and fungus or mildew, which also adversely affect varnish and ...

4. Sun protective clothing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_protective_clothing

   A relatively new rating designation for sun protective textiles and clothing is UPF (ultraviolet protection factor), which represents the ratio of sunburn-causing UV measured without and with the protection of the fabric. For example, a fabric rated UPF 30 means that, if 30 units of UV fall on the fabric, only 1 unit will pass through to the skin.

5. Varnish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish

   Pigments in paints and stains protect against UV damage. UV-absorbers are added to polyurethane and other varnishes (e.g. spar varnish) to work against UV damage but are decreasingly effective over the course of 2–4 years, depending on the quantity and quality of UV-absorbers added, as well as the severity and duration of sun exposure.

6. Shade sail - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_sail

   A shade sail − or somewhat more precise a textile sunshade sail or a textile sun protection sail − is a device to create outdoor shade based on the textile basic technology that can be found in a ship's sail. [1] Shade sails use a flexible membrane tensioned between several anchor points. While generally installed permanently, they are ...

7. Window film - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_film

   Protection from UV light can be accomplished by a film that addresses only the UV spectrum. As UV is one of the main sources of fading, [6] it can prolong the life of fixtures and fittings. Basic colorless clear films reject (absorb) some UV radiation up to 380 nm, and depending on the manufacturer, UV inhibitors are added to the polyester ...
