Ultraviolet radiation has been divided into three groups of wavelengths, UVC, UVB and UVA rays. UVB is screened out by glass and is most commonly known as the part of the UV spectrum that causes sunburn and is more potent than UVA. UVA is not screened by glass and, until recently, sunscreens did not screen UVA at all. While UVB is more potent, UVA makes up over 90% of the UV radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. All UVC and a portion of UVB are screened by the Earth's ozone layer. With the breakdown of the ozone layer, more and more scientists and healthcare professionals are warning of the dangers of UV radiation. You've heard for years that, before going out into the sun, you should apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses and a hat (especially between the hours of 10 to 3 in the afternoon) to reduce your risk of developing sunburn, wrinkles and premature aging of the skin, skin cancers, and eye damage. What most people don't realize is you can be at risk even in your own car or home since glass does not screen UVA rays which makes up over 90% of the UV that reaches the Earth's surface.
UVShield Films are developed by CPFilms, a unit of SOLUTIA. CPFilms unique ultraviolet absorbing film impregnation capability makes them a leader in solar protective film technology and manufacture. All UVShield Films are easily applied to automobile, home, office, or retail store windows. You can never be too sun safe. Provide additional protection for you and your family by installing UVShield window film in your car or in your home.
"Skin Cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the world." "Chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation has been linked
to the development of cataracts and age related macular degeneration.
And just because you're indoors or in your car does not mean you're
fully protected. Ultraviolet light is still transmitted through
glass." "Excessive, prolonged UV exposure may be linked to the development
of eye conditions such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration."
"Statistics show that American drivers develop skin cancer
more frequently on their left side while Australian drivers suffer
from cancers of the skin on their right side." The facts don't lie. Skin cancer is the most common and rapidly growing form of cancer in the United States, striking one in five Americans. Doctors say you need to go on the defensive "outside " and "inside " to make sure you don't get burned.

Without
radiation from the sun, life on Earth would cease to exist. Sunshine
is essential to plant and animal life but there are certain portions
of this radiation that the human body could use in much smaller
doses. 
UVShield
uses a patented technology formulated to create ultraviolet protective
Films. This unique film provides unprecedented 99.9% ultraviolet
UVA and UVB protection when retrofitted to any existing glass window
or door. 
"One
in five Americans will develop skin cancer within their lifetime."
