Does car glass protect against UV rays?
1 Answers
Automotive glass generally has UV protection functionality, which can reduce the harm caused by UV rays to the skin and has the ability to block UV transmission. Higher-end glass may also feature noise reduction, heat insulation, and thermal insulation properties. Modern car glass incorporates many advanced designs with multiple functions, demonstrating sophisticated and thoughtful engineering. Below is relevant information: UV rays: UV radiation is a dangerous sunlight hazard. With its relatively long wavelength and strong penetrating ability, it can pass through the skin's surface layer and reach subcutaneous tissues, damaging collagen, elastic fiber structures, and other fine skin tissues, leading to wrinkles and fine lines, causing skin laxity and aging. This is medically termed photoaging. UV protection glass functions: Filters sunlight, reduces UV damage to the skin, and has the ability to prevent (reflect or absorb) UV penetration. It provides thermal insulation inside the vehicle, ensures air conditioning efficiency, and minimizes the impact of external temperature or light on the interior climate. In fact, most ordinary glass has some degree of UV absorption capability.
