OP-4 UV Light Transmission
ACRYLITE® OP-4 acrylic sheet is designed for use in indoor sun tanning equipment. It offers high levels of UV light transmission and strong resistance to degradation caused by UV light.ACRYLITE OP-4 sheet transmits a high percentage of light in the UV-A (315 - 400 nm) and UV-B (280 - 315 nm) regions. Only a small portion of light in the UV-C region (200 - 280 nm) is transmitted. Light transmission, particularly in the UV-C and UV-B regions, will be dependent on sheet thickness.The ability of ACRYITE OP-4 sheet to resist ultraviolet light without loss of physical properties is important in applications such as indoor sun tanning equipment.
If the sun tanning bed is to produce consistent and rapid tanning results, the acrylic sheet must maintain consistently high levels of light transmission in the UV-A and UV-B regions during the life of the material.
ACRYLITE OP-4 sheet is easy to clean. Clean with a soft cloth or chamois and a solution of mild detergent and lukewarm water. ACRYLITE OP-4 sheet offers excellent resistance to staining from dirt, bacteria, and perspiration.
Scratches can be removed by rubbing with a polishing paste designed for use with acrylic or by using a solventfree car polish.
Safety
ACRYLITE OP-4 sheet is more impact resistant than glass. If subjected to impact beyond the limit of its resistance, it does not shatter into small slivers but, rather, breaks into comparatively large pieces.
Comfort
ACRYLITE OP-4 sheet is comfortable and warm to the touch, making it attractive to the tanning bed user.
