What is the difference between a vinyl umbrella and an ordinary umbrella?

In the hot summer, most people will apply various sunscreens when going out, and parasols are also a must-have item for going out in summer. Everyone knows that parasols have the function of protecting against UV rays. There are also many types of parasols on the market. Black plastic umbrellas are more commonly used parasols. Ordinary umbrellas do not have the function of sun protection and can only be used to block rain. Black plastic umbrellas are a new type of anti-UV umbrella and are more popular in summer.

Black plastic umbrella is a new type of anti-ultraviolet fabric. Its main features are enhanced UV protection, no odor, and not easy to age. Silver-gel umbrellas rely on coatings to protect against UV rays, and the quality of the coating directly determines the degree of UV protection. Most of the silver-gel umbrellas sold on the market are only UV-proof in name only, and they are prone to aging and falling off. Therefore, there are more and more parasols using black glue, and the number of silver glue umbrellas has obviously decreased.

Can ordinary umbrellas protect against the sun?

Ordinary umbrellas can protect against the sun

All umbrellas can provide sun protection because ultraviolet rays can be blocked with just one layer of cloth. Someone once did a real test and found that the intensity of ultraviolet rays absorbed by the human body under an ordinary umbrella is indeed much lower than when no umbrella is used. Therefore, even if you use an ordinary umbrella, you can still protect yourself from the sun.

It’s just that ordinary umbrellas are usually not coated with glue, so their light transmittance is poor. Therefore, when used on sunny days, it will feel hotter. It is precisely because of this that people feel that umbrellas are not sun-proof.

How to choose a sun umbrella correctly

Check the price

The production cost of ordinary umbrellas is low, and they can usually be bought for just a few dollars. However, a qualified high-quality sun umbrella, even if it is made of the simplest fabric, costs at least around 20 yuan.

Look at the umbrella material

There are many kinds of materials that make up the umbrella surface of a sun umbrella, such as cotton, silk, nylon, etc. Usually, the umbrella surface made of cotton, silk, nylon, and viscose has a lower sun protection effect, while polyester is better.

Look at the UPF value

UPF refers to the ultraviolet protection factor. A sun umbrella with a UPF of 0 has the worst ultraviolet filtering effect; a sun umbrella with a UPF of 30 can filter 95% of ultraviolet rays; UPF40 filters 98%; and UPF50 filters 99.9%. In other words, a sun umbrella must have a UPF of at least 30 to be considered qualified. Usually this UPF value is written on the umbrella's label.

Look at the brand

Sun umbrellas, like clothes, also have brands. Usually, the sun umbrellas from more famous brands like Tiantang and Jiaoxia have very good sun protection effects.
