Abstract
Body armor technologists over the year are seeking to develop protective systems, especially the harmful effects of UV radiation can be substantially alleviated by wearing heavyweight garments or by using sun creams. However, these materials are very expensive and have certain weight constraints. Therefore, there is a growing demand in the marketplace for apparels that offers comfort and protection from UV-A and UV-B radiation. This study aims to ascertain the ultraviolet rays’ protection ability to the fabric and focuses on the UV transmission of Bamboo fabric, commonly used textile summer with the application of UV absorbers using herbal extracts from Green tea and Clove. The UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of fabrics is determined by using UV-VISspectrophotometrically for untreated grey fabric and UV absorbers treated fabrics. As a result, UV absorbers treated fabrics havegood UV protection. Based on the result, best herbal extract approach was used to impart UPF of lightweight knitwear fabrics have been suggested against UV radiation.
