About Qingfeng Sun Protective Suit Isambatho Sokukhusela Abantwana Elangeni

Isuti yokuKhusela eLangeni ye-Qingfeng sisambatho esenzelwe abantwana. Ubuchwepheshe be-rare earth busetyenziswa kwilaphu, kwaye ubume obuncinci be-rare earth buhlelwe kwakhona ukuze ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet okusuka kwi-100 ukuya kwi-400 nanometers kufunxwe kwaye kuguqulwe. Ukukhuseleka okupheleleyo kwibhendi ye-ultraviolet kuyafezekiswa ngendlela ekhuselekileyo nesisigxina, kunye nesantya sokulwa neentsholongwane esifika kuma-99 eepesenti. Le suti ikhaphephe ngama-8 eepesenti ngaphezu kweemveliso ezinomlinganiselo ofanayo wokukhusela nenani lokuthungwa. Le suti iquka umnatha ovumela umoya ongaphantsi kwengalo, umphetho osisijikelezo obanzi, kunye nesiphelo se-zip esibhengezayo.

Unique Properties: This sun protective suit innovatively applies rare earth technology, breaking the three main technology bottlenecks of sun protective clothing: coating, textile auxiliary, and titanium dioxide raw yarn and enabling full-band UV protection with a higher UV-blocking efficiency. The application of rare earth-based yarn makes this sun protective suit 8% lighter than products with the same UPF and number of stitches. Featuring good breathability and coolness, this sun protective suit keeps children comfortable and refreshing in hot summer.
Dimensions & Packaging: (Size:140cm)
Female: Length: 42.5cm; Hem size: 155cm; Sleeve Length: 69.0cm;
Male: Length: 49.5cm; Bust: 91.0cm; Sleeve Length: 68.5cm;
Tags: Kids' sun-protective clothing, rare earth technology, sun protection against full-band UV, cool raw yarn, antibacterial, breathable and comfortable
Production Technology: We use rare earth as the medium and reorganize its microstructure to enable the fabric to repeatedly absorb and convert 100-400 nm ultraviolet, so as to achieve sun protection within the entire UV band. Furthermore, the conversion and absorption process is safe, long-lasting, and efficient. It also has an antibacterial function with an antibacterial rate up to 99%, offering comprehensive protection for children during outdoor activities.
Design Challenge: The existing sun-protective clothing on the market is only able to block 320-380mm UV. Qingfeng Sun-Protective Clothing uses rare earth technology to enable it to absorb and convert 100-400 nm ultraviolet. Together with multiple functions such as durability of sun protection, temperature cooling, and antibacterial performance, this sun-protective clothing becomes a breakthrough in the industry.
Research: Considering sun-protective performance, health, safety, functionality and comfort, we've innovatively adopted rare earth technology to significantly increase its performance in sun protection and durability. Thanks to the reorganization of the microstructure of rare earth, cool raw yarn and seamless laminating technology, the antibacterial and cooling performance is greatly improved. We, therefore, rolled out this lightweight, portable, comfortable and antibacterial full-band UV-protective suit.
Inspiration: The existing sun-protective clothing on the market is only able to block 320-380nm UV. However, children have a more tender skin that requires a full band UV protection. We innovatively apply rare earth technology in children's sun-protective clothing through reorganizing its microstructure to enable an antibacterial function, making the fabric highly protective and antibacterial. The fabric is skin-friendly and soft, providing a comfortable and cool feeling in sweltering summer.
Project Duration: The project finished in April 2023 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: According to researches on mechanics of children's movement, the version for girls adopts a cape design and the boys' adopts an innovative 4:6 contour. The breathable mesh at underarm area maintains children's armpit ventilating and dry. The widened and curved brim and the heightened mask greatly enlarge sun-protective area. The reflective zip protects children when walking in dark. The interesting pattern that changes with light brings an intuitive detection of UV intensity.
