UV blockers = UV-blocking filter
UV-blocking filters are used, for example, for skin radiotherapy, lighting at film, photo studios or stage and for night lighting.
With this UV-blocking filter, the colour rendering in the transmission is unaltered; at best, a very slight yellow colouring can be seen.
With this type of filters, the light from the blue end of the spectrum is reduced. For example, to protect nocturnal insects.
Glass types and sizes
The UV blockers are offered in the following materials / thicknesses / sizes
In addition, we also provide even smaller filter sizes with less material thickness. We can cut the filters round as well as in any other shape – please see Customised Glass Cutting Service.
