Huntsman programme to check sun protection up to UPF 50

25/07/2018
Huntsman Textile Effects has extended its High IQ performance assurance scheme and it will now help mills, brands and retailers check that their products have built-in sun protection of up to UPF 50.

High IQ has been in place for some time to help customers check that their claims around freshness, friction protection and water repellency are accurate and sun protection has been part of the programme too. However, until now, it gave assurance only up to UPF 20 and it’s this that Huntsman has now pushed higher.
 
Consumers around the world are increasingly aware of the harmful effects of sun exposure, the company said on making the announcement, with children and people who work outdoors or who enjoy outdoor activities particularly at risk.
