"SUNBATHING FILTER WITH INCOMPLETE UV-B ABSORPTION" Apparatus for use in sunbathing comprises a screen formed of a sheet of thermoplastic or fiber material which is transparent to the safe W-A wavelengths of solar radiation and the visible light range between 400-450 nm but which contains uniformly distributed therethrough a first agent which absorbs at least 80% of the UV-B radiation in the 310-320 nm range and all radiation below 310 nm, and a second agent and third agent which prevent transmission therethrough of some radiations above 450 nm wavelength, i.e. visible light and infra-red. The second agent may be an absorbing dye or pigment. The third agent may be finely divided carbon or ground glass. The screen may be mounted on a frame or fabricated into clothing so as to shield thesunbather from the acutely and chronically handful wavelengths of radiation, to prevent unpleasant overheating, and to provide subdued lighting. The relatively small amount of W-B transmitted through the material stimulates the production of new melanin in a sunbather, and this melanin will be later available for tranning by UV-A radiation. 1970-1-0020 |
