Factoid for the day.... this plexiglass color is 100% effective of blocking ALL Ultraviolet wavelengths - it cuts off light at the 540 wavelength. This is great for UV curing operations - it will shield the items from the light.
Plexiglas 2422 - available at ePlastics.com
My family entered plastics distribution and fabrication in 1968. Dad listened to the guy in "The Graduate" and bought in. I was a teen with access to a shop filled with Plexiglas® Acrylic sheets, Lexan®, Plastic Sheets & Fiberglass sheet. Add UHMW, PTFE, plastic glue, Multiwall polycarbonate, Seaboard, architectural and engineering plastics. 40 years later I educate our team on new materials and processes - to customers worldwide. It’s new every day.

Im going to try it, although on the site it has no advertising of uv resistance, have you tested personally? They have some clear museum grade stuff claims to be 98% effective.

Does the UV blocking plastic also block the sun glare? Meaning is this the same material that is used for those yellow sun visors?
ReplyDeleteWhich transmits UV better, Plexiglass or Lexan? (Use is for dye in specialized photography)
