Comparison Of 12 Sunscreen Suits: Only 4 Samples Can Meet The Requirements Of National Standard.

In the summer of summer, more and more people pay attention to self protection. In the past, they used to support a sun umbrella, and now they are more and more popular in sunscreen clothing.

Is sunscreen really sunscreen?

To provide consumers with information about sunscreen clothing for consumers to choose when buying.

The consumer association has conducted a comparative test on 12 brands of KAILAS, mobile, Mapasa, AIMUTU, ACOME, OUTDOOR, RAPIDO, MAMMUT, RAPIDO, ALPINE PRO, Pathfinder, CAN TORP.

The comparison test results are only responsible for the purchase samples.

I. Basic Situation of comparative test

(1) purchase samples: 12 samples of comparative test are purchased by the consumers' Association as an ordinary consumer from the Eurasian commercial city, Asia department store, Paris spring department store and other shopping places.

The price ranges from 129 yuan to 1498 yuan, reflecting low, medium and high levels.

(two) test basis: refer to the GB/T 5296.4-2012 "consumer goods instructions fourth part of the textiles and clothing instructions," GB 18401-2010 "national textile commodity basic safety technical specification", GB/T 21295-2014 "technical requirements for clothing physical and chemical properties", GB/T 18830-2009 "evaluation of textile UV protection performance" and test methods for samples corresponding product standards to test samples.

(three) test items: anti UV coefficient, product instructions,

Content, formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to soaping and joint performance.

(four) testing institutions.

Commissioned by the Far East Zhengda Group Co., Ltd. to test the samples.

Two. Analysis of test results

12 samples.

The test results of composition and content, formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness to water, color fastness to soaping, tear strength and joint performance have all met the standard requirements.

However, there are differences in UV protection, identification, comfort and so on.

(1) the ultraviolet radiation performance of the 12 samples is quite different.

Ultraviolet protection of textiles is to prevent ultraviolet radiation through fabric, so as not to cause all kinds of skin damage caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays.

The UV protection performance is usually expressed by UPF, namely the UV protection coefficient. The higher the UPF value, the higher the UV protection performance.

According to GB/T 18830-2009 standard, UPF can only label UPF40+ or UPF50+ two ways, when UPF>40, and T (UVA) AV<5% (long wave ultraviolet pmission rate) can be called anti ultraviolet textiles.

The test results showed that only 4 samples of the UV protection coefficient met the requirements of GB/T 18830-2009 standard (the sample information is appendix).

1. the "CAN. TORP" men's elastic skin garment (production batch number: 8112795801) produced by camel (Fujian) outdoor products Co., Ltd. has a UPF value of 420.31.

2. Zhanjiang City

The UPF detection value of the KAILAS male travel thin windbreaker jacket (production batch number: KG610263) was 294.46.

3. Pathfinder group Limited by Share Ltd produces "Pathfinder" women.

(production batch number: TAEG82800-A90X), its UPF value is 189.10.

Four

The "MAMMUT" male jacket (production batch number: 1010-23290-5870-115), which is produced by the limited company and mammoth outdoor products (Beijing) Co., has a UPF detection value of 158.53.

From the test results, the above four samples have good UV protection function and can be used as sunscreen clothes.

(two) the marking of UV properties of some samples is not standardized.

2 samples of ultraviolet proof performance are not standardized. They are: Mapasa's "lovers skin coat" produced by Shishi aide outdoor design Co., Ltd. (production batch number: AD-61003B), marking the anti ultraviolet performance in English, which is not conducive to the identification of ordinary consumers; when the Fujian Jinjiang Siyu tattoo sports clothing Co., Ltd. produces a dynamic "male couple" skin coat (production batch number: DS8831A), the UPF value of the sample is up to 30, which can block a lot of ultraviolet rays, and does not meet the requirements of GB/T 18830-2009 for anti ultraviolet textiles.

(three) the 5 samples focus on consumer comfort.

Most of the sunscreen clothing materials are synthetic fiber, synthetic fiber material clothing airtight, wearing no ventilation and cool comfort.

In order to improve the defect of sunscreen clothing, many designs will be replaced with breathable material such as cotton fabric in sweaty sweatshops, or mesh or holes with fabric in the back and armpits where sweats are easy to sweat.

In this comparative test, 5 samples were made to improve the air permeability of the sweating place.

3 samples were improved in air permeability and UV protection.

1. Zhanjiang KAILAS Maya travel thin windbreaker jacket (production lot No. KG610263) produced by Maya Travel Products Co., Ltd.

2. "MAMMUT" men's jacket (production batch No.: 1010-23290-5870-115), which is produced by the Beijing Hua Deng high quality fashion Co. Ltd. and mammoth outdoor products Co., Ltd.

3. "Pathfinder" women's skin clothing produced by Pathfinder group Limited by Share Ltd (production batch number: TAEG82800-A90X).

Three, consumer tips

(1) try to buy sunscreen clothing with UV marking, high UV protection coefficient UPF and low pmittance (T) (UVA) AV.

(two) try to select sunscreen suits with close fabric, deep color and moderate thickness. The UV protection properties of textiles are affected by many factors, among which UV protection finishing (such as coating) is the main way.

When the anti ultraviolet finishing process is the same, the material quality, the depth of the fabric, the thickness and the tightness of the fabric will have a certain effect on the UV protection performance.

Generally speaking, the same fabric has a better color than the light color.

(three) try to use sunscreen with breathable design.

。

Some sunscreen

A breathable design for perspiration, such as holes.

To increase consumer comfort.

Otherwise, if sunscreen is good, if sunscreen clothing is not good in air permeability, it will have a severe feeling of stuffiness on the body and bring bad experience to consumers.

(four) it is recommended to cooperate with other sunscreen measures when wearing sunscreen clothing. For example, apply sunscreen and reduce exposure time.
