ULTRAVIOLET ABSORPTION AND RADIATION SHIELDING FOR RAW MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS

摘要

Techniques are provided for using glass as an additive to raw materials for unfinished products or as a coating for finished products. Glass is crushed into glass particles forming a glass powder. The glass powder can be mixed with raw materials in the process of making products. Alternatively, the glass powder can be mixed with liquids or gels. The resulting products that integrate the glass powder or that are coated with mixtures of the glass powder exhibit Ultra Violet (UV) absorbing properties that were originally associated with the glass and in some cases boost UV properties associated with other UV absorbing materials which may be included within the raw materials of the products.
