Tungsten Oxide Application in Radiation Protection Clothes

Tungsten Oxide Application in Radiation Protection Clothes

Clothing has the ability to protect the skin from incident solar radiation because the fabric from which it is made can reflect, absorb and scatter solar wavelengths. Fabrics differ in their ability to attenuate light in this way because they differ in fiber composition and moisture content, as well as in type and concentration of dye, optical whiteners, or UV-absorbing finishes adsorbed to fibers.

Each fabric must be tested to determine its ability to protect from solar radiation, as this cannot be known from visual observation nor calculated from descriptions of the fabric’s composition and structure. The radiation protection clothes made with tungsten oxide has good properties in many researches.
