We receive a great amount of sunlight in our daily lives. On the other hand, overexposure to sunlight poses the risk of skin aging (photoaging) and skin cancer due to the effects of ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight.

Ultraviolet rays can be divided into three types according to their wavelengths: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. UV-C (200-280nm), the most harmful type of ultraviolet radiation, is mostly absorbed by the ozone layer and does not reach the surface of the earth; UV-B (280-315nm) reaches only the outer layer of the skin, but can cause dermatitis, freckles, and dry skin; UV-A (314-400nm) is hardly absorbed by the ozone layer and reaches the earth’s surface even on cloudy days. UV-A can penetrate into deeper layers of the skin (dermis) and can cause long-term skin damage to the human body. In addition, UV-A light can damage and age objects.

Since UV-A reaches deeper into the skin, prolonged and large amounts of exposure can damage the skin, causing inflammation and premature aging.

S-LEC™ Premium UV Blocking Film UA01, when installed on windshields and side windows, blocks UV- from entering the car and protects the skin of those who need UV protection from photoaging and prevents premature aging such as spots and sagging skin.
